Picnic tables occupy spaces in parks and recreation areas. Visitors use their flat surfaces for meals and activities.
These surfaces once received regular maintenance. Attendants sanded the wood to even out irregularities and applied sealant coats. Such actions occurred periodically throughout the year.
Sanding and sealant application no longer take place on these surfaces.
Picnic tables remain stationed outdoors. Their surfaces stay in position for ongoing use.
The setup of picnic tables highlights surfaces without sanding or sealing upkeep.
