What are the effects of sprinkler systems on cedar outdoor loungers’ wood fibers?
Sprinkler systems are commonly used for lawn irrigation, but their impact on cedar outdoor loungers' wood fibers is often overlooked. Cedar, while naturally resistant to decay, can still suffer from prolonged exposure to water. Frequent sprinkler spray can lead to moisture absorption, causing the wood fibers to swell and eventually crack or warp over time. This may weaken the structural integrity of the loungers and shorten their lifespan.
To minimize damage, consider repositioning loungers away from direct sprinkler spray or applying a high-quality sealant to protect the wood. Regular maintenance, such as drying the loungers after water exposure, can also help preserve their appearance and durability. Understanding these effects ensures better care for your outdoor cedar furniture.
