Cover it when you,re not using it

Put it in the shed/garage for the winter ......if you leave it out even
covered you will get water ingress / black staining no matter how much you
oil it


I second that last comment: it will go blackish over winter even with a
cover if left
outside. I only brought mine back to a natural wood shade by pouring neat
bleach
all over it several times. It's going in the garage this winter.
