Finishing Western Red Cedar Patio Furniture

Hello guys:

I am an online Retailer of Cedar Patio Furniture.

I plan to Link to this Forum from my site as a "Resource" for my customers. We have several recommendations for our Customers who wish to Finish their Cedar Patio Furniture already. But we are always interested in hearing from the "experts".

For the benefit of my customers, would you please provide your advice on the following:

Starting with UNFINISHED Cedar Patio Furniture, what would you recommend if a customer wants to...

1. Stain the Furniture

2. Paint the Furniture.

Please provide specific steps as well as list the Brand Names you recommend.

Thank you. You have a great Community here!
