Robin on Mar 28, 2014Start by using a good bonding primer and an exterior paint. Don't forget to paint the bottoms of the legs. Then seal with exterior grade polyurethane.Helpful Reply

Duv310660 on Mar 29, 2014The marine sealer does sound smart; maybe will give additional UV/fade protection? That said, I have sealed an outside wood door that is 50/50 chipped paint/100 yr old wood because it looked pretty unique. It gets blazing afternoon sun and then snow, ice and salt for 5 mos a year. When I did it, all I had was a few leftover cans of random indoor clear acrylic. I applied as many thin coats (5 or 6) as I had available - this was 3 years ago. It's starting to wear a bit and will have to be resealed someday, but it's still 100% effective at this point. Moral of the story: use what you can afford, apply it correctly, maintain as needed.Helpful Reply
