OUR AMERICAN STORY
SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT
Weatherend builds heirloom quality outdoor furniture that defines Sustainability. We handcraft our furniture using sustainably and responsibly managed woods combined with marine grade adhesives, hardware and finishes that provide durability for generations.
Our commitment to sustainability is further reinforced through our refinishing program. Every year we receive pieces that have been outdoors for 25, 30, 35 years or more. Our refinishing process returns Weatherend furniture to new condition, ready for decades more of service, never destined for a landfill!

Why does Weatherend Estate Furniture cost so much?
Why is Weatherend Yacht Finish better than bare wood?
Painted finishes are easier and less expensive to maintain, and will easily wipe dry after rain or dew.
Lacquer thinner or nail polish remover will remove graffiti without damaging the finish.
Custom color samples can be easily matched, and the color of the furniture can be changed if the furniture is sent back for refinishing.
How long will the finish last?
Weatherend Yacht Finish can last for decades depending on the environment it is subjected to and the amount of care given. Furniture Covers or dry storage during the winter and long periods of non-use will extend the life of the finish. Many customers who take advantage of our refinishing service have had their furniture for twenty years or more. The majority of the furniture returned for refinishing only has a loss of gloss to the finish and small dents – the paint itself is still serviceable.
Are your designs protected?
Weatherend is proud to have received design awards from NeoCon and ADEX for several new patented designs.
What custom colors do you offer in Weatherend Yacht Finish?
Weatherend Yacht Finish is available in any color. Choose your color from any paint vendor color chart and send it to us to be matched. Light colors in high gloss are the most resistant to the UV effects of the sun and will provide the best long-term durability for exterior use.
Weatherend has pioneered and mastered the Weatherend Yacht Finish for outdoor furniture. This 10 step/10 coat epoxy and urethane system resists graffiti, stains, soil and the UV effects of the sun.

How should I care for my Weatherend furniture?
Painted furniture should be cleaned regularly to extend the life of the finish. Light surface cleaning can be done with household products such as Windex. Awlwash, designed for cleaning marine finishes, or similar auto finish washes should be used for thorough cleaning, as needed.
If your bare wood furniture becomes heavily soiled and stained you may consider using a teak cleaning system followed by a light sanding with a fine grit paper or rubbing with burlap. This may be necessary annually or even more frequently, depending on your type of use. For lighter and more regular cleaning, we recommend a teak cleaner such as the Star Brite Teak Cleaning System.
Bare teak and mahogany furniture will turn silver-gray when left untreated. If you wish to help maintain the original color of teak furniture, it may be rubbed with a soft cloth and teak oil to slow the weathering process. Bare mahogany furniture can be periodically coated with a wood preservative to help maintain the original color. For best results oil or wood preservative should only be applied after a thorough cleaning and sanding.
Do you offer a refinishing service?
Will you revise standard pieces or do custom work?
Why should I wait 4 to 20 weeks for Weatherend furniture when I might be able to get an imported teak piece in less time?
Weatherend may have a slightly longer lead time than some manufacturers, but we are handcrafting your order just for you. All Weatherend products are made in Maine. Our furniture is fully assembled and orders are shipped complete. Most imports are shipped partially assembled and the entire order may not be shipped at one time.
