The wonderful body color of the pergola will certainly fade away within a short period of time if you are dwelling in extreme hot weather conditions. The best possible way to revive the appearance of this unique structure is by re-painting it with a specific heat resistant paint.

The best possible way to revive the original look and color of this wood is by considering staining and sealing. Sealing adds some oils back into the wood and leaves your set looking spectacular again. In order to get best results, it will certainly be wise to clean the surface of the wooden structure thoroughly before considering staining and sealing. You must spray recommended oil-based wooden stain before applying the sealant.
