How to spruce up an old wooden garden table?

Hi – I have an old wooden garden table that is looking very tired and I would like to get it looking nicer – any suggestions welcome – do I sand it first or just apply stain/varnish?
thanks

I scrub the table first, using good old scouring powder and elbow grease. Use a traditional stiff scrubbing brush. This gets rid of the growths.

Sanding might be appropriate, but use a medium to fine grade and go easy on enthusiasm!

The problem, I find, with lacquers and cuprinol is that, in the sun, the lacquers can lift and cuprinol looks like garden fence!

I use Briwax to tart up our garden table. I apply it with a shoe brush, rubbing it in until I get a nice satin finish. Two applications last the summer. Winter rains will wash it out, but the solvent in the wax inhibits mould and lichens.

You can buy Briwax at most DIY centres.
