Maple = non-durable. As Fitzroy suggests, it's a very poor choice for outdoor furniture with a life expectancy of five years or less in ground contact. Away from ground contact life expectancy is significantly longer, but it discolours very quickly, and goes black and mouldy. Meticulous finishing with something like yacht varnish, proven to offer very good protection would be good, plus refinishing every 6- 12 months would be a decent bet.


A better bet still would be to get the table reclassified as an indoor table ASAP and situated as newly reclassified, similarly ASAP, and appropriately finished/polished immediately after that... if at all possible. Slainte.
