I have just bought two pretty cheap garden benches.
The ends are cast iron and quite nice.
There is metal looking panel in the middle of the back, but it is actually plastic but it looks OK.
But the wood slats are only pine and lightly painted, not very well, with a light clear varnish?
I would like to paint it with something before I put it outside.
I have had bad experiences with varnish outdoors in the past even with yacht varnish!
Any suggestions on what I could use on it? Including brand names?
And any comments on if it would be safe to leave it outside over winter?
Thanks!
