Do I need to stain the products?

Staining is not mandatory—our products are designed to weather naturally over time. However, if you wish to preserve the original color and enhance the longevity of the wood, we recommend using a high-quality wood finish such as Osmo UV Protection Oil or Osmo Natural. These finishes help maintain the natural appearance of the wood while offering protection against sun exposure, moisture, and general wear. Applying a finish can also enrich the grain and provide a smoother texture, making your product more resistant to the elements.

Whether you choose to let your product age gracefully or apply a protective stain, the choice depends on your aesthetic preference and maintenance goals.
