Default OT Pub garden benches

any thoughts on how to keep the typical pub garden picnic tables free of the
black mould that they all seem to suffer from? I would like to make some
practical suggestions to avoid marks on trousers.

Wasps seem to be quite good at skimming the surface of wooden ones, as you
can see from the little trails they have planed off. Snails are quite good
at cleaning the algae off the plastic ones.

Otherwise, basically, keep the tables out from under trees as far as you are
able. And clean them like you would any other pub furniture.

Wash and scrub with vinegar, when dry apply linseed oil.
