How to Protect Your Garden Furniture in the Winter

Winter brings with it a range of weather, from storms and rain to the occasional snowy spell. Different elements battering your garden furniture can cause damage, meaning you need to replace your garden furniture more frequently than you should have to.

We don’t always think about our garden furniture as the months grow colder, only remembering them when we‘re out enjoying the sunny spring and summer weather. Protecting our garden furniture means that we get to enjoy it for longer. So, what can you do to keep your garden furniture in tip top shape?

Garden Furniture Storage Solutions

The easiest way to keep your garden furniture looking as good as new is to have an effective storage solution. Garden storage boxes, shed and garages are a great solution to all of your gardening storage needs.

If you have the space for a small shed, or your garage is going unused, why not use it to store your furniture when you aren’t using it? Keeping your furniture out of the elements is a great way to protect your items without needing to add any treatments.

If you’re looking for another layer of protection, garden storage bags are the perfect way to pack your furniture into handy little cubes before popping them into the back corner to hibernate through winter.

Do you have lots of outside cushions or cushioned garden seats that you don’t want to leave out in the rain or snow? Outdoor cushions should be kept indoors over the winter months to avoid any damp conditions and help them to last even longer. Cushion storage bags are easy to fill and put away for next year. Waterproof in case of leaks, keeping your garden cushions tidied away couldn’t be easier.

Rain Covers for your Garden Furniture

If a permanent storage solution isn’t possible, rain covers are an ideal way to protect your garden furniture from wind, rain and snow during the winter.

Rain covers are ideal for protecting your furniture from the outside elements, whilst leaving them easily accessible for those rare days of winter sun where you may want to cosy up outside with a blanket or a firepit to be able to enjoy the sunshine.

Keep your rattan garden furniture protected this winter. Firstly make sure you clean your rattan furniture by wiping everything down with some warm soapy water, no one wants to find last year’s dirt on their garden furniture when it comes back out for the next spring/summer season. Next cover with your chosen rain cover and secure until you need it next. Quick and easy.

Protective Treatments for Rattan Furniture

Rattan furniture is a great addition to any garden, but keeping it looking like new can seem like a challenge. Protecting rattan without any storage requires treatment to keep it in top shape year after year.

Keeping your rattan furniture clean is essential for that shiny ‘new’ look every time. Next you can add treatments and sprays that help to protect your garden furniture from rain and sun damage, as well as from any mould that may try to grow whilst your furniture is not in use.
