KEEP THE RAIN OUT!..HOW TO PREVENT TABLE LEGS FROM ROTTING!

What happens here

Using a tape measure, measure approximately 3 inches down from the top edge of each picnic table leg. Mark this measurement with a pencil. Then, apply blue painter's tape along this mark, creating a clean, straight line across the top of the section of the leg that will be sealed. Ensure the tape adheres firmly to the wood. The presenter also suggests covering any existing holes in the wood with tape for a cleaner finish. This process is repeated for all the legs of the picnic table.

Goal: Create clean, defined lines for sealant application on the picnic table legs.
