Perhaps the mild fall weather has pushed winter planning to the back of your mind. Now, you have outdoor furniture that needs storing. Although some solid wood or metal pieces can stand up to the weather, your Plastic Rattan Set needs a little more help. Ideally, these pieces should be stored inside with controlled levels for heat and humidity. However, if you have limited storage space you can still preserve the enjoyment and integrity of your wicker set over the cold winter months with outdoor furniture covers. Take these few extra steps to help bundle up your furniture so that you will be ready to get on your patio, balcony or deck at the first sign of spring!
Clean It Up
Perhaps the most important tip to remember before you put your patio furniture away for the winter is to clean it up. Any dirt, mud, or food left on the outdoor pieces can turn into mold or mildew, depending on the type of material.
Inspect all of the surfaces for oxidation or rust. If you find rust, treat the area with a rust-neutralizing primer. Use steel wool if needed and apply spray paint with a color that closely matches the finish. A silicone sealant will provide even more protection.
Protective Covers
You're probably wondering how you should protect your Rattan furniture if the rain begins to pour. Well, some outdoor furniture, like cushioned furniture and patio heaters for example, can’t be adequately protected from the elements simply by varnishing. They require more robust protection against winter weather – in the form of a protective cover. You will often find protective covers for these online or, Rattan Direct have a great selection of outdoor furniture covers available. It’s worth investing in some protection at any rate, as your barbeque could rust if repeatedly exposed to wet or icy conditions. Although we’re confident in the furniture we produce lasting throughout the colder months, we always provide a free outdoor cover with most of the sets we sell, doing this means you won’t even need to invest in a cover!
Store
Storing your outdoor furniture during the off-season is the best way to protect it from harsh weather. A garage, basement, or storage shed is ideal, but a covered deck or patio will help protect your furniture, too. An alternative option to storage is to bring outdoor pieces indoors to use and enjoy over the winter.
