How does the Landscape Square table perform in terms of resistance to termites or pests?

The Landscape Square table is engineered for outdoor resilience, with its resistance to termites and pests being a cornerstone of its durable design. Unlike standard outdoor furniture, its performance stems from a multi-faceted approach to material selection and construction.

The table's primary defense lies in its use of pressure-treated wood or high-grade, naturally resistant timber species. Pressure treatment involves forcing preservative chemicals deep into the wood's cellular structure, creating an environment that is toxic and inhospitable to wood-boring insects like termites, as well as decay-causing fungi. For models utilizing hardwoods, species with natural oils and densities that pests find unpalatable are selected.

Furthermore, the construction often incorporates composite or metal elements in critical joints and undersides—areas most vulnerable to moisture accumulation and initial pest contact. The finishing process adds another protective layer. A high-quality, sealed outdoor finish acts as a physical barrier, preventing moisture ingress that can attract pests and soften wood, making it less penetrable.

Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and occasional re-sealing as recommended, sustains this protective barrier. This combination of treated or resistant core materials, strategic design, and a robust finish ensures the Landscape Square table maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, offering reliable, long-term performance against environmental threats without constant chemical intervention.
