If you have an outdoor table under trees, you’ve likely dealt with sticky sap stains. Tree sap can damage furniture and make surfaces unpleasant. Here are practical ways to protect your table:

1. Use a Protective Cover – Invest in a waterproof, UV-resistant cover to shield your table when not in use. Choose a breathable material to prevent moisture buildup.

2. Regular Cleaning – Wipe sap off immediately with warm, soapy water or rubbing alcohol. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

3. Apply a Protective Coating – Wax or sealants can create a barrier, making sap easier to remove. Check product compatibility with your table material.

4. Trim Overhanging Branches – Prune nearby trees to reduce sap exposure. Consult an arborist if needed.

5. Relocate the Table – If possible, move the table to a less sap-prone area without sacrificing shade.

By taking these steps, you can enjoy your outdoor space without worrying about sticky sap ruining your furniture.
