Garden decor with wood crafts and live trees!
To ensure the longevity and beauty of wooden sculptures in your garden, proper care is essential. Here’s a detailed guide to maintaining them:
1. Protect from Moisture and Decay
Wooden sculptures are highly susceptible to moisture, which can cause rot and decay. To protect them:
Apply protective compounds: Use wood preservative treatments that safeguard against moisture and decay. Even if the sculpture was treated during manufacturing, it’s important to reapply these treatments annually, as the protective layer can wear off.
Seal with varnish or paint: Painted sculptures benefit from an added layer of protection. Regularly check for scratches or damage in the paint. If there’s damage, repaint or seal the exposed area to prevent moisture from penetrating the wood.
2. Temperature Fluctuations
Extreme temperature changes can cause the wood to crack and warp. In areas where summer temperatures reach as high as 30°C and winters drop below freezing, protect the sculptures by:
Using weatherproofing products: Apply protective coatings that reduce the impact of temperature fluctuations.
Winter storage: Ideally, bring wooden sculptures indoors during the winter. If this isn’t possible, cover them with protective boxes or waterproof covers to shield them from harsh weather conditions.
3. Insect Protection
Wood-boring insects like bark beetles and wood borers can cause significant damage to wooden sculptures. To guard against insect infestations:
Regular inspection: Check the sculptures for signs of insects, especially in the nearby area.
Insecticides: If an infestation is found, apply insecticides designed for wood protection. Prompt action is necessary to prevent further damage.
4. Maintain the Finish
Reapply protective coatings: Protective layers, such as paint, varnish, or oils, fade over time. Reapply them annually or as needed to maintain the sculpture’s resilience.
Monitor for mold and cracks: If moisture manages to penetrate the wood, mold can develop. Address any mold issues immediately by cleaning the affected area and resealing it.
5. Sheltering During Harsh Conditions
Create protective covers: In addition to storing sculptures indoors, use custom-built boxes or covers to shelter sculptures that must remain outside during heavy rains, snow, or harsh winds.
By following these steps, your wooden garden sculptures can last for decades, retaining their charm and enhancing your outdoor space.
