Storage during winter
As winter draws near, many of us start considering storing patio furniture indoors until next spring arrives. While bringing it inside may seem cumbersome and cumbersome, taking appropriate steps will ensure your furniture will still look its best when brought back out again next season.
Cleaning patio furniture before storing it for winter storage is crucial in order to prevent mildew, mold and other contaminants from growing on it. You can do this by washing with water and detergent, scrubbing with a brush or squeegee and rinsing with a hose – check for rust spots with an antirust primer and apply automotive wax as protection of its finish – this process should ensure its preservation!
If you own metal patio furniture, it is imperative that it is brought indoors prior to it becoming damaged by freezing temperatures or precipitation. Wash it down with detergent before using a wire brush on stubborn areas. Finally, seal its surface by applying clear automotive wax.
Plastic furniture should also be brought indoors before it begins to degrade in cold weather conditions, whether that is in your garage, shed, or basement. Just ensure it is protected from humidity and temperature fluctuations – in particular if storing in a shed ensure to pad it with boards or plywood to reduce moisture build-up.
Wooden patio furniture adds rustic charm to your backyard, but can quickly become damaged in winter weather conditions. Cold air causes wood fibers to crack and split apart, so storing wooden furniture away for the season is recommended. If you don’t have space in either your garage or attic for it, renting a storage shed would provide ideal conditions to safeguard it against humidity and other damaging conditions.
Plastic furniture
Plastic furniture can often be more cost-effective than other forms of furnishings, and its durability makes it suitable for areas exposed to rain and sunlight. Furthermore, purchasing eco-friendly recycled material furniture may save money in the long run.
Not only is recycled plastic an economical and eco-friendly choice, it is also easy to clean – making it the ideal material for outdoor spaces where food and drink spills occur frequently. Furthermore, unlike wood furniture, plastic does not rot with age or become sun damaged; additionally it reduces splinters risk and offers children safe seating solutions.
Patio furniture warehouses stock an assortment of recycled plastic furniture designed specifically for outdoor use, typically made of polyethylene or polypropylene materials that are both lightweight and highly resistant to UV rays. Furthermore, this recycled plastic can easily be molded to create stylish looks for any outdoor area.
Recycled plastic patio furniture is an excellent choice for park benches and picnic tables in parks, schools, resorts, corporate grounds and other commercial facilities. Not only is the material highly durable and weather resistant; there is also an assortment of colors and designs to choose from and it can even be molded to look like other materials such as wood.
To create this type of furniture, post-consumer plastics are melted down and formed into solid pieces that mimic natural wood grain. Dyes are then mixed into the plastic melt to achieve complete color saturation and prevent the color from fading over time – thus eliminating post-manufacture polishing requirements.
Plastic furniture is exceptionally resilient and easy to care for, requiring only mild dish soap and water for cleaning – much easier than traditional wooden pieces! To preserve its color from fading over time, soft brushes should be used instead of harsh cleaners or brushes; also be sure to wipe down regularly with damp cloths in order to remove dust or debris build-up on its surfaces.
Cushions
Our outdoor patio furniture cushions are constructed of premium-quality materials for long-term use. Available in an array of colors and patterns, these durable cushions come with no welts or piping for a clean appearance – foam is filled into them for firm support, helping retain their shape while keeping their shape. Furthermore, replacement patio cushions can be custom-made specifically to fit into existing furniture models.
When it comes to outdoor cushions, keeping them dry and cool is of utmost importance. Moisture damage to fabric may result in mold and mildew growth; furthermore, using waterproof spray on cushions before storage will help prevent this issue. Furthermore, recoating fabric every couple of years is advised for maximum effectiveness.
If you are storing cushions in the garage or basement, it is advisable to store them on pallets or tables in order to protect them from moisture build-up and prevent moisture transference to cushions. In addition, keeping the cushions off the ground may help deter rodents from chewing them up! Alternatively, opt for a cool, dry environment and use protective measures such as tarps or sheets in order to safeguard their storage.
Before storing patio cushions in winter, it is a wise practice to thoroughly clean them. Referring to the label on each cushion for cleaning instructions and following them precisely will help ensure a thorough clean is accomplished. Once this process has concluded, let the cushions air-dry completely prior to being stored away; moisture can lead to mold growth and pest infestation within storage facilities, while pests could penetrate fabric causing holes to form over time.
Fabrics
There is an assortment of patio furniture fabrics to select from, each designed for different weather conditions. Water-repellant fabrics may withstand water damage while others withstand sun damage better. Moisture-wicking fabrics may also be perfect for furniture left outdoors year-round. Not all fabrics have equal durability ratings so it is wise to opt for heavy-duty options (rated over 25,000 Wyzenbeek rubs).
Before storing your patio furniture for winter, be sure to give it a thorough cleaning. This will keep pests at bay and will prevent mildew and mold growth. Furthermore, inspect for loose hardware or tears in cushions so you know they are undamaged before storing – saving both time and money over time!
Your best bet for furniture storage should be in an environment with controlled temperatures, such as a garage or shed. Whenever possible, store near walls or other structures for extra wind and rain protection as well as keeping cold temperatures at bay and snowfall out.
Patio furniture made of wood should be stored outside year-round, although it’s wise to monitor its storage in autumn and winter to avoid moisture and snow damage to its wooden components. In order to best preserve it from weather elements such as moisture accumulation or warping, wooden pieces should ideally be stored undercover to reduce any risk of water damage and warping.
