What to do with your garden furniture?
Autumn is around the corner. It is getting dark earlier and soon the leaves will start falling from the trees. It is about time to get your garden furniture ready for the autumn. Some people will have enough space to store furniture inside, which would be perfect! Not a lot can happen with it then. But often, people don’t have that option. So, what would then be a sensible thing to do?
Limited storage space
Your garden furniture can stay outside, whether it is wood, plastic or aluminium. The disadvantage of this is that you will have to clean it really well when spring arrives because it has been subjected to wind, rain and dirt. You can find a wide range or maintenance products on our website, to make the cleaning of your furniture much easier.
Are you using your metal Max chairs outside? We advise you to place them inside during the winter. A small scratch can rust due to the damp autumn weather and of course, you don’t want that. An advantage of the Max chairs, is that they are stackable and with a lacquer marker, you can touch up that scratch before storing the chair.
But how would you do that with your Adirondack chair of Dex picnic table? Perhaps they are already under a canopy. That would be ideal, then they won’t be subjected to the weather as much.
How about a garden cover?
Another option would be a garden cover when you dont have a canopy. A garden cover will keep your chair or picnic table free from rain, leaves, bird droppings and so on. However, it is important to keep the following in mind:
- Make sure that your garden furniture is DRY when you place the garden cover over it.
- Ensure VENTILATION under the garden cover. Leave some space under your garden cover by placing an object on the table top and place the garden cover over it. Then you will leave some space for ventilation.
- DON’T leave your garden furniture on wet grass.
When you consider leaving your garden furniture under a cover until next year, make sure that you regularly remove the cover to ventilate your garden furniture. You might think; that sounds like a lot of hassle.. Remember that you only need to take the cover off the furniture when the sun starts shining in spring, instead of having to clean it for another 1.5 days. Then it sounds very different, right? 😉
