Barrel-Shaped Storage Box
Cleaning outdoor furniture before storage will help it look its best when brought back out in the spring, while also helping prevent mildew and mold growth that could form over long periods of inactivity. A mild cleaning solution and damp cloth should suffice for most types of patio furniture; for metal or wicker chairs requiring deeper cleaning, liquid detergent may be necessary. Regardless of its material or design, all pieces must always be completely dry prior to being stored away to avoid moisture formation that could lead to mold and mildew growth.

Outdoor patio furniture sets add the perfect finishing touches to a home’s interior and exterior space, providing a relaxing retreat for family gatherings or weekend barbeques. Certain pieces even allow homeowners to set up an informal dining area for spontaneous barbecues and weeknight dinners; lounge chairs provide inviting spots where one can soak up some sun with refreshing beverages in hand or their favorite book in hand.
Durability of outdoor furniture depends heavily on its material and design; some pieces may need replacing every few years while others require less care for lasting beauty and function. Homeowners who take time to maintain their outdoor furnishings can enjoy them for many years at reduced costs.

Stakes or garden staples can help protect patio furniture from being blown away during high winds by anchoring it to the ground and keeping its position. This makes repositioning easier when weather improves.
Before putting away patio furniture for storage, be sure to give it a thorough cleaning. A simple rinse with a hose should do for metal and plastic furniture; wood or wicker may need an appropriate cleaner, such as one made specifically to care for its material.

Utility Tarp
Your patio furniture plays an essential part in helping you enjoy outdoor life to its fullest extent, whether that means hosting a cocktail party or snuggling under an afternoon sunset with someone special. However, as soon as the first frost hits it’s important that your chairs, tables and sofas are safely stored away for long-term storage to protect them from moisture, snow and debris damage.
As long as your garage or shed has enough storage space, creating an effective DIY outdoor furniture storage system should not be complicated. Start by finding an area in which to keep items such as totes, shelving and tarps safe from moisture damage during storage; arrange your patio furniture using storage accessories so as to keep items apart, which will protect cushions and pillows from becoming damp or mildewed over time.
Once your patio furniture is stored away safely, be sure to give it a thorough cleaning to remove any grime or pests that have built up over time. Cleaning methods vary by furniture type; typically mild cleaning solutions or a garden hose work well in washing chairs, table tops and cushions before putting them back into storage. Be sure to dry everything completely prior to doing this step!
If your expensive materials are at risk of moisture absorption, consider placing an affordable utility tarp over your patio furniture. It should hold most pieces, and can be secured using stakes on its corners for added protection from rain – perfect for keeping supplies out of harm’s way all winter long! It also serves as an effective space-saving option if there’s no room for a deck or garden shed but you still want to preserve their patio furniture!
Storage Bench
Storage benches for outdoor patio furniture provide seating while offering ample storage space for items like throw blankets and pillows, pool toys, gardening tools and other accessories. Some models include built-in planters for easy gardening tasks; others feature convenient tables beneath their seats that make drinks or snacks easily accessible. Choose wood-look or all-weather wicker designs to complement existing decors.
Most outdoor furniture should be regularly cleaned to remove dirt and grime, with some materials needing special consideration when prepping for cold weather or storing for the season. Metal garden chairs should be given special care before being stored away for colder temperatures; using warm water with detergent for removal of rust spots before wiping clean before storage is recommended. Wood Adirondack chairs, rattan chairs and plastic outdoor chairs must all be wiped down thoroughly with clean water before being stored until next season arrives.
As well as protecting against mildew, seat cushions should also be stored away from damp grassy surfaces and kept dry by covering or stacking them when not in use – this will protect them from drying out due to prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures and prevent them from cracking over time. It’s a good idea to cover outdoor furniture stored either in your garage or backyard with lightweight fabric covers when not being used to help protect from rain and snowfall.
