Outdoor Furniture FAQs

Our outdoor furniture is built to handle the elements, but like all natural wood products, proper care and placement will ensure long-term performance and beauty.

  • Can live edge or epoxy furniture be used outdoors?

    Absolutely! Our outdoor furniture, including live edge tables and epoxy pieces, is crafted specifically for exterior use. We create custom outdoor dining tables, benches, and bar tops in Charlotte, Asheville, and nearby areas using durable materials and protective finishes that withstand outdoor conditions.
  • What finish do you use for outdoor furniture?

    We apply exterior-rated finishes and epoxy coatings that are designed to endure moisture and temperature fluctuations. While these finishes offer robust protection, we recommend covering your outdoor furniture or placing it in shaded areas to prolong its lifespan and keep it looking great.
  • How does weather affect outdoor wood furniture?

    Natural wood will naturally expand, contract, and change over time when exposed to the elements. Sunlight, rain, and humidity can lead to movement, color shifts, or minor cracking. These changes are normal and add to the unique character of real wood in outdoor settings.
  • Is outdoor epoxy resistant to sun and rain?

    Yes, outdoor epoxy is water-resistant and built to last. However, prolonged exposure to UV rays can affect its clarity and color over time. For optimal results, we suggest placing your furniture in covered patios or shaded areas to minimize direct sunlight exposure.
  • How do I maintain outdoor furniture?

    Routine maintenance is simple! Clean your furniture with a mild soap and water solution, and keep the surface free of debris. Using covers when not in use and avoiding prolonged standing water will help preserve the finish and extend the life of your outdoor table or bar top.
