Paint does effectively seal the wood – temporarily. It`s the unpainted areas you can`t see that create the problems. Screw holes on the underside of every board fo r instance invite moisture to work its way under the painted surface. With no place for the water to go the result is rotting wood under the surface. Painted Cypress products will begin to deteriorate within two years if left outside in the weather. A water-based or oil-based stain on the other hand allows the wood to breathe. Any moisture that gets in can still get out. After the color stain is applied to each Cottage Classic piece it is lightly sanded to create a slightly weathered look.About Richey IndustriesFor 20 years Richey Industries has manufactured the finest in outdoor casual furniture under its Great American Woodies brand.
