The need for outdoor furniture storage 

Outdoor furniture is designed and manufactured to withstand the elements, but winter weather can be harsh and unpredictable.  

Prolonged exposure to snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can damage patio furniture, shorten its lifespan, and make it look worn and tired.  

Sarah, a proud homeowner who invested in a beautiful set of patio furniture last summer, discovered this the hard way. 

A winter’s tale 

Sarah loved spending evenings with family and friends, enjoying the fresh air and comfort of her new outdoor space.  

But, when winter came, she didn’t properly store her furniture and, come spring, she discovered her once beautiful chairs and tables had suffered for it.  

Don’t make the same mistake.  

Tips for proper outdoor furniture storage 

Clean and prepare. 

Before storing, clean your patio furniture thoroughly. Dirt and grime can cause stains and promote rust or mildew growth. 

Choose the right location. 

Store your furniture in a dry, sheltered place like a garage, basement, or storage shed. If indoor space is limited, protect your furniture from the elements with quality covers. 

Use appropriate materials. 

Use packing materials such as bubble wrap and plastic sheeting for added protection. To prevent mold and mildew, make sure all pieces are dry before wrapping them. 

Consider furniture composition. 

  • Metal: Use anti-rust products to protect metal parts. 
  • Wood: Apply a protective sealant to prevent moisture damage. 
  • Fabric: Store cushions and fabric pieces in airtight bags to keep them dry and fresh.
