If you’re looking out of your kitchen window now, you’ll either be contemplating the prospect of rescuing garden furniture that’s soggy and green-tinged with moss, or feeling smug because you’re furniture is snugly protected under covers. Here are the benefits of using garden furniture covers.
Winter takes its toll
Even though synthetic rattan and aluminium garden furniture is treated to be weatherproof, the truth is that all uncovered garden furniture will suffer to some extent in cold and wet weather. Water accumulates in joints and crevices, which then encourages the growth of moss and algae. Bird droppings can be highly acidic and damage surfaces, and snow and ice can warp and weaken, leading to rust and eventual instability.
Regular cleaning and annual treatments with specialist sealants, oils and stains can rejuvenate your garden furniture, but it makes sense to avoid the hard work this entails by protecting your furniture with covers.
Covers for all shapes and sizes
Garland garden furniture covers, for example, come in an impressively wide range of sizes and shapes and are made of a lightweight but durable cross-laminated material. In addition to offering protection from cold, wind and rain, covers also protect your furniture from the fading effects of the sun.
Opting for covers that are lightweight means they are easy to take off when the weather’s good, and quick to pop back on when it’s raining or you’re off on holiday. You can even get covers for your firepit, chiminea or BBQ, so that all of your precious patio features are protected.
If the prospect of less scrubbing and more sunbathing appeals, garden furniture covers are the answer!
