How do you protect rattan outdoor tree boxes from scratches caused by pets or wildlife?
Rattan outdoor tree boxes add elegance to gardens but are vulnerable to scratches from pets or wildlife. Here are practical ways to safeguard them:
1. Use Protective Coatings: Apply a clear, weather-resistant sealant to create a scratch-resistant barrier.
2. Install Barriers: Place decorative wire mesh or lightweight fencing around the boxes to deter animals.
3. Choose Durable Covers: Use fitted covers when the boxes aren’t in use to prevent access.
4. Train Pets: Redirect scratching behavior with toys or scratching posts placed away from the rattan.
5. Natural Deterrents: Sprinkle citrus peels or use pet-safe repellents to keep wildlife at bay.
Regular maintenance and these protective measures will extend the life of your rattan tree boxes while keeping them looking pristine.
