Refinishing Thrift Store Teak Outdoor Furniture

If you are looking for deals on teak outdoor furniture, one place you can look is at thrift stores, in your area.   When you are looking for teak outdoor furniture in thrift stores, make sure the furniture isn’t damaged to the point of no repair.  Inspect furniture very well, as some pieces may be temporarily repaired or have weak repairs.  However, when you do come across reliable, teak outdoor furniture, grab the deal while you can, without worrying about the exterior sealer, stain, or paint too much, as the furniture can always be refinished.

When you have found the best deal for teak outdoor furniture, at a thrift store, the exterior coat of stain, sealer, or paint may be worn out.  In order to refinish your new furniture, begin by sanding the wood with rough sandpaper, moving to smoother sandpaper as you reach bare wood.  Remember to sand every crack, corner, and crease, in order to have the sealer or paint hold to the wood.

After a good sanding, it’s time to give your teak outdoor furniture a good stain and seal, or a couple coats of paint.  If the wood is various different colors, or you just want to match the teak outdoor furniture to your color theme, you can choose to paint the furniture.  Otherwise, if you are able to sand the furniture down to bare wood, you can decide to stain and seal the wood, giving it a shiny gold or brown finish.

Either way you decide to refinish your teak outdoor furniture, you should be able to find good deals on teak outdoor furniture, and refinish the wood to make it look brand new.
