External Timber Door Weathering — practical planning
External timber is exposed from several directions, including the bottom edge and frame junctions that are easy to overlook. Overhangs, orientation and how quickly the entrance dries all influence performance.
A durable result depends on suitable door construction, compatible coating or oil, maintained seals, sensible clearances and drainage around the threshold. Refinishing only the visible face may not address the source of deterioration.
