As you enjoy the beautiful autumn weather, it’s important to ensure that your outdoor furniture stays protected, especially when it’s not in use. Although Hanover furniture is designed with weather-resistant materials, you can’t go wrong with some extra protection to increase the longevity of your patio pieces. 

Here are a few of our top tips about outdoor furniture protection.

Invest in Furniture Covers

Furniture covers are a cost-conscious investment to help you make the most of your outdoor furniture.

Storing Your Cushions Inside 

Whether you live in an area with a lot of rainfall or sun, you’ll want to consider bringing your seat cushions inside if you’re not planning to use them for a long period of time. If you plan to travel or you’re expecting some inclement weather that will keep you and your family indoors, we recommend bringing your cushions inside (and covering your outdoor furniture, too).

Additionally, outdoor storage chests are a great option for extra cushion protection. Simply pack away your cushions in the chest when not in use, and you’re good to go! 

Keep Your Furniture In a Shady Area 

Along with protecting your outdoor patio furniture from rain and snow, sun rays can do a great amount of damage to the vibrancy of your items. While this is a simple tip, we highly suggest keeping your patio set in a shaded area or under an overhang to prevent fading form UV rays. If this is not a possibility for your outdoor set-up, a furniture cover will do the trick when you’re not using your patio. 

Packing Your Furniture Away in the Snow

If you live in a climate with frequent snowstorms, you’ll want to consider packing your furniture away during the winter months to prevent permanent damage from water and ice if you don’t have a covered outdoor space. And if you live in a sunny area, you’ll enjoy a few extra months of use each year! 

With these tips on maintaining your outdoor patio furniture, you'll have no trouble keeping your pieces looking new during the colder months. We wish a fun-filled season of entertaining!
