ᐅ What is the best way to oil or treat a garden table?

Hello everyone!

Since this summer, we have had a garden table made of eucalyptus wood. The surface of the wood is gradually becoming dry and starting to crack at the edges. I think I should treat it with something before winter.
Do you have any experience with products for this? The table stays outside, even in winter, so how can I best keep it looking good? Would you recommend buying a cover to protect it?
I have heard different opinions on this.

Weather protection oil from Biofarben works well and is affordable.

I would still recommend using a "breathable" membrane to cover the wood during winter. If necessary, this membrane should not be placed directly against the wood.

Your table is made of a hardwood and can easily withstand the weather for many years. Over time, it develops a silver-gray patina, which some people find particularly attractive. It mostly comes down to personal preference what you decide to do with it.
