Here’s the question:
I’ve done a lot of research but can’t find an answer to my question. We just ordered some solid wood (chinese ash) patio furniture. Our
patio surface is crushed gravel for now.
I’m afraid that simple, round rubber soles might not be enough to protect the legs of the furniture against the rough surface of the gravel nor stand up to water flowing over the gravel when it rains. Of course, we plan on covering the furniture when it rains, but my concern is protecting the legs. What would you suggest?
Thanks!
Megan

Thank you for answering my question! I’ve never heard of Chinese Ash either. You can see what we ordered by going here: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/cb.aspx?a=535771 I hope we didn’t get ripped off. They say it’s made of solid wood. One follow up question: Will the wood hold a clear finish even if I put an oil, or wax coating to soak into the wood first? I read in a few places to do both. It just seems like a waxing might inhibit the clear coat from sticking.
Thanks again! I love this blog.
Okay, that sounds good. Thanks again Tim!
