Double Wax Dipped for Long-Term Protection

Every wooden component is manufactured by Lappe's Bee Supply and protected using our premium double wax dipping process.

Each component is submerged in boiling wax twice for approximately ten minutes per dip. During this process, moisture is driven from the wood while hot wax penetrates deeply into the wood fibers. Rather than simply coating the surface like paint, the wax becomes part of the wood itself, helping protect against moisture, swelling, warping, and weather exposure.

Over time, the exterior color may naturally lighten due to sunlight and weather. This cosmetic change does not reduce the protection provided by the wax absorbed into the wood, allowing your equipment to provide dependable service for years.
