Outdoor Furniture

Thanks to the British weather, there’s plenty of the year where the wind and rain means we can’t enjoy our outdoor spaces, but can you leave your garden furniture out all year round?

The materials used to make our patio furniture are designed to resist the elements. The majority are made using either a synthetic wicker material which is weather resistant and easy to clean or other classic outdoor materials such as metal or glass.

How to protect outdoor furniture from weather damage?

Although the materials are designed to resist the elements, there are some steps you can take to protect outdoor dining sets from the bad weather.

Furniture covers are always good idea and can be purchased to fit the wide variety of sets we have available. These weather resistant covers reduce the impact of rain and wind on the actual furniture to minimise any damage.

Putting your cushions in a dry, covered space will also keep these protected and avoid any mould growing from constant changing weathers.

How to clean and maintain outdoor furniture?

If you do find yourself wanting or needing to freshen up your garden dining sets then there’s plenty you can do.

Warm soapy water can be used to wipe down the synthetic wicker material where traditional glass sprays can be used for glass table tops to remove watermarks or streaks.

Many of our cushions have removable cushions which can be machine or hand washed to freshen up.
