Painting Instructions

Polyurethane is not UV-resistant. Apply a protective coating after 1–2 years of sun exposure. Lightly sand the surface before painting to ensure proper adhesion. A properly applied coating lasts up to 10 years.

Potential Disadvantages

Unpainted beehives may have a shorter lifespan and develop peeling over time. Minor imperfections or bubbles do not affect functionality and are not considered defects.
