I bought this outdoor table on sale from a clearance store. The manufacturer specs says it is made from stained solid wood acacia. I found some online reviews that say that the finish peels after a season or two. Anything I can do to help preserve it? Tung oil?

Is this acceptable? 3/4" holes in rafters in a shed. I know that's acceptable for studs, but I thought holes in rafters had to be 2" from the edges. 2" from the edges of a 2x4 means no room fro the hole. Help me understand...
