Finish for outdoor table? - AlanS - 06-03-2021
Neighbor bought a pine outdoor table...slats on top...not solid. Well, one week later, some of the slats are warping...she wants me to replace/ repair with new pine. What is the best way to finish a pine outdoor table? I have always been an advocate of oils, as they don't leave a finish that water can get under. So, if I repair/ replace the slats...how would you all finish the table for outdoor use?

I'd use paint. A good oil based primer, and then top with a 100% acrylic exterior. Any clear finish will need maintenance over time that she is likely not going to do.

I agree with prior post - paint would be best, but if clear finish is preferred then Spar Varnish

Losing battle, no matter what you use. Paint will last the longest but don't expect more than 4 or 5 years before it's going to need maintenance. The best solution is to cover the table when not in use. And keep the legs off direct contact with the ground.
