Investing in stylish outdoor furniture shouldn't come with too much worry, which is why all of our luxury sets are weatherproof & highly durable. However, to keep your beloved garden furniture looking fresh and in good-as-new condition, there are a few tips & tricks you can follow to help your chosen styles last for life. With the recent wave of storms & heavy rain, we thought we’d break down our top pieces of outdoor furniture care advice…
Beat The Storm
• During longer periods of heavy rain or adverse weather, the best thing you can do is bring your garden furniture indoors (particularly cushions!) or store in an outdoor shed.
• If you're struggling for space indoors, get yourself a waterproof & rust proof outdoor storage box for your furniture cushions, soft furnishings & accessories.
• Prolong the life of your outdoor furniture by investing in an all-weather, breathable garden furniture cover. A high quality cover will protect your furniture from the elements, whilst allowing air to circulate preventing moisture build-up.
• Rattan & contemporary outdoor furniture is intentionally lightweight for ease of movement, so if there is a heavy storm on the horizon, it’s a good idea to keep your sets weighted down. If you plan on keeping furniture outdoors during strongs winds, stack any bar stools or stackable chairs, and find something to weigh down your other pieces.
• If you didn’t quite manage to get your cushions in on time, the best thing for them is to be air-dried when the weather clears up, preventing any damage to their quality. If dirt or muddy water stains have appeared, hand-wash any smaller spots with a simple, gentle solution. Our rattan furniture cushion covers are also machine washable if needed.
Garden Furniture Protective Covers
Our premium garden furniture covers will keep your outdoor sets protected from dirt, debris and adverse weather conditions, saving you time when it comes to cleaning and setting up for the spring & summer seasons. The heavy-duty breathable material will resist all weathers whilst allowing air to flow, protecting your pieces from mildew. The drawstring design means our custom-made covers can be placed over your furniture and pulled tight to protect it from the elements.
Outdoor Furniture Storage Boxes
Keep your outdoor cushions & accessories in good-as-new condition for years to come by storing them in one of our garden storage boxes when they are not in use. For this, we have a selection of stylish designs to suit your choice of outdoor furniture, whether it be classic rattan or a set from one of our contemporary collections. Our handy & robust storage boxes come in two sizes and have been crafted to withstand the elements all year round, all whilst remaining rust-free & water-tight with the help of a zip-up inner lining and an overhanging lid for complete protection.
