weatherproofs
Protects from elements
Weatherproofs means makes resistant to weather—rain, wind, snow, or sun.
Someone weatherproofs a deck by sealing the wood, or weatherproofs windows with caulk and storm panels: She weatherproofs the porch furniture every fall.
The term applies to any treatment that protects against outdoor conditions.
