Preparing Your Patio Furniture for Winter Storage

I don’t know where you live, but in my part of the north country, winter cold has definitely set in, and if you haven’t yet taken care of your patio furniture and other outdoor items for the winter, you had better do it soon before the snow flies! It seems that there are a handful of things that must be taken care of every fall to prepare for the winter, and it is easy to get caught off guard with things left undone, unless you plan in advance. So, what do you need to do to prepare your patio furniture for winter storage?

Well, it depends what you have. First, for basic patio furniture, what type do you have? By this I mean material. It may be wrought iron, resin (i.e. – heavy duty plastic to us lay people), wicker, aluminum or wood. And wood is never just wood, it is teak, cedar, red wood, oak, pine etc. Let’s take a look at each of these.

If maintained, your wrought iron furniture should last a long time, but you should be aware that it can rust. Most wrought iron pieces designed for the outdoors are treated to help prevent rust. This can include a powder coating or galvanizing. The most effective of these two is galvanized wrought iron. Iron treated this way is impervious to rust, power coating is not as effective. I would assume that the amount of protection wrought iron furniture has is often reflected in its cost. If you are not sure about the level of protection your wrought iron has, then you should treat it on a regular basis (or whenever rust appear) with boiled linseed oil. So, basically, before storing your iron patio furniture, dry if off really well and if you see any signs of rust, then treat with linseed oil.

Resin patio furniture is very sturdy and lasts a long time without any real need of treatment. I would recommend at least wiping it down if needed, but even that can wait for spring if you do not feel like doing it right now.

Wicker patio furniture does need care or it will quickly show the effects of the weather. Because of this, it is good to regularly repaint your wicker with an outdoor protective paint. Besides protection, it also keeps you wicker looking like new. You can either do this in the fall, or in the spring, whichever you prefer. But be aware that it does need doing whenever you start to see cracks in the coating. This coating keeps the wicker underneath from being exposed to the elements.

Aluminum will rust, so if you have this problem, you first need to remove the rust by using a scuffing pad and a wire brush. Once the rust has been removed, wipe the area down really well to remove all dust and then apply an outdoor paint. This will make you aluminum patio furniture last a lot longer and look new again. Then store your furniture for the season.

When it comes to wood, different types require different forms of treatment. Cedar, red wood and teak patio furniture is great outdoors and need no treatment unless desired. Most other woods need regular treatment with a polyurethane, paint or stain or they may warp or crack. Either spring or fall is a great time to take care of this. Otherwise, a cleaning is all that is needed.

After cleaning and any needed treatment, your main goal is to remove your patio furniture from inclement weather. Patio furniture covers works great, especially in milder climates. Another option is to stack it all safely in a covered area (if possible) or at least near the house, and cover with a tarp. The best option is to store it away (still covered, if possible) in a garage or storage shed. The main goal is to protect it from the ravages of winter so that you can get as many years as possible out of your patio furniture set.

Top Reasons Wicker Patio Furniture Is Better Than Plastic

If you want to add some flavor and comfort to your patio – maybe you would like a more natural and easy-breezy look to your interiors as well – then look no further than wicker patio furniture. Wicker patio furniture comes in a vast array of styles and sizes, but more on that later. Before you make the biggest mistake most people do when selecting furniture for their indoor and outdoor needs, consider first what you will be getting in return for your investment.

(And that really is how you should look at your furniture purchases – as investments.)

Most people, especially those looking for something to keep outside during the fun-filled spring time or those lazy days of summer, don’t want to spend a lot of money. So what happens? They end up making purchases that last a season (with luck), and usually result in a full-caliber search a paltry six months later. This often leads to purchasing cheaper plastic-made chairs and tables – hardly comfortable and hardly a good value.

Before you make that mistake, consider these top reasons to choose wicker patio furniture instead:

Wicker patio furniture is strong. The weave lends a deceptive strength to wicker patio furniture that you will not find in off-the-assembly-line plastics. It is specially made for human wear and tear, as well as anything that Mother Nature herself can throw at it. You will never have to worry about upkeep either, as wicker is made purely from nature, so it is at home in the elements.

Wicker patio furniture catches the eye. Naturally made furnishings such as wicker patio furniture are simply more pleasing to look at than their plastic factory-made counterparts. With wicker, you have a look that guests will find appealing no matter what the going trends are.

Wicker patio furniture is more cost effective than you might think. Yes, a great deal more craftsmanship goes into producing a wicker chair or sofa, but the returns are far more rewarding. While you may pay more for wicker patio furniture upfront, that cost goes down over time as you discover that wicker lasts for years and years longer than standard cheaply made plastics.

Wicker patio furniture gives you options. With wicker, your furniture looks classy and elegant whether it is inside or out. Imagine being able to furnish your entire living room with this material, so lightweight, durable and beautiful! Or, you could stick it outside for morning breakfast or evening dinner – maybe even as a comfortable place to read as the children play. There is no use out of the question for wicker! And if you are one of those people who likes to change up the look of your rooms every now and then, forget about moving heavy, bulky furniture that you will pay more for inside of a store, because with wicker, it’s easy to move AND easier on your back.

Wicker patio furniture doesn’t just make great patio furniture. It makes great furniture, period. Find out by choosing it for your home or garden and reap the benefits for years to come!

How To Clean Patio Furniture

There are many different types of materials used for the construction of outdoor patio furniture.  Wrought Aluminum, Plastic, Cast Aluminum, Tubular Aluminum, Wicker and Teak are a few of the main materials in patio garden furniture.  

Aluminum is very popular because it is durable and does not require too much care.  Since it generally will not rust, it will weather any amount of moisture and is durable in all climates.  It is easy to clean by just rinsing it off with a patio hose.  If you have patio furniture cushions on your set, you can clean them off with a mild soap and water.   If you notice any discoloration on your outdoor patio furniture set, then you simply need to clean it with mild soap and water.  Do not use any ammonia, but it is ok to add a natural acid such as lemon juice, vinegar or lime. If the aluminum is extremely dirty, there are commercial cleaners that are available to use.   Aluminum outdoor furniture sets is a dependable option for outdoor living.  

Cast aluminum is made using a casting process where it is poured into a mold.  This casting process results in a pure and resilient product.  Casual patio furniture sets made out of cast are welded together and the welds seal out water and the elements.  It is a very solid product for outdoor furniture sets.  To clean cast you simply have to hose it down.

Wood patio furniture made from teak will weather naturally in the elements.  Once it has weathered, the original color can be restored by scrubbing it with soapy water to remove the dirt. It can be sanded with fine sandpaper if there are trouble spots.  A pressure washer can also be used by applying a gentle pressure on a low setting.  You can treat your wooden patio furniture set with teak oil if you prefer the light brown look of natural, un-weathered teak.  

For a high end patio furniture set you might see wicker used.  You can reduce the chance of mold or mildew by giving it enough light and keeping it out of moisture.  If you need to clean outdoor wicker furniture, most of the time water and a very mild soap will be sufficient.  If it becomes excessively dirty and needs to be cleaned more intensely, you can use a product designed to clean boats that melts body oils and grime.  Also, on a tough stain, you can use wet-dry sandpaper or abrasive powder cleaners.  Mildew can be removed with a spray cleaner such as Tilex, but be sure to wash it off immediately.  

Whether your outdoor set is commercial patio furniture or discount patio furniture set, it should come with care instructions.  If you take care of it properly, it will keep your outdoor living environment clean and fresh.

Top 5 Materials For Patio Furniture Sets

Aluminum outdoor patio sets come in designs that can compliment your space not only with style but also with function.  Patio garden furniture can be a great addition to your outdoor entertaining area and you can find many decorator colors in powder coated finishes to match your outdoor color palette.  When you are looking for beautiful outdoor patio furniture set, one crafted of aluminum is an excellent choice.  You can also get comfort by selecting a set with patio furniture cushions.  Cleaning and maintenance of this material is also easy and inexpensive.  

Wicker comes in natural rattan or synthetic materials like resins and makes great casual patio furniture sets.  The resins can be treated so that it can be mildew resistant and cleaned easily with a hose or wet cloth.  Both types of wicker can be painted to fit your décor.  A primer coat should be used fist and then a spray should be applied to get into the weave.  

Plastic furniture is a material that is used for cheap furniture in the outdoor environment.  It is resistant to weather and extremely easy to clean.  Most of the time because of the low cost, if you have an outdoor furniture set that is plastic you will most likely need to replace it every couple of years.  

Wrought Iron furniture is well made and will last through many seasons.  It is a heavy material that will withstand high winds and a rough climate.  It is made from steel and it will remain in excellent condition over many years.  It is easy to clean with a small scrub brush and soapy water.  You will need to make sure the powder coat finish stays on to inhibit rust on your set.   Patio furniture cushions are recommend for comfort with wrought iron patio furniture sets.

Teak is another material that is perfect for wooden patio furniture.  It is not affected by the weather elements such as sun, snow, frost or rain and can be left outside and uncovered all year long.  It is one of the hardest, strongest and durable woods and it is resistant to rotting.  Teak sets come in various grades from affordable patio furniture sets to high end patio furniture sets.  It is best to find a teak material that is kiln dried and with a low moisture content.  Lower quality teak will have much higher water content.

Adding Color To Patio Furniture

One barrier many outdoor livers run into is the problem of using color with their patio furniture sets.  It’s often thought that too many Cedar and Pine pieces will overwhelm any space with a brown, wood tone.  But, adding color to your outdoor living space will spruce up your patio furniture and allow it to be holistically designed and stylish.  Though, take caution, too many colors and patterns will make your porch or gazebo look too busy.

Use Paint: The most obvious choice is to use paint on your patio furniture.  Cedar outdoor furniture won’t take paint well, so it’s best to just stick with a stain sealant.  But all varieties of pine and cypress work well with paint.  If you’re creating both a sitting and outdoor dining area, try painting both sets of patio furniture different colors to create more separation between the two living areas.  Though, if possible, consult with a paint expert at the store to pair colors that have a similar tone or richness to make sure the contrast isn’t too jarring.

Put Up Patio Umbrellas: Though this isn’t the best option for those creating outdoor dining areas under porches or inside gazebos, anyone with patio furniture out in the open should consider a patio umbrella.  Not only does it provide protection from the sun’s harmful rays, it is also a wonderful opportunity to add some corresponding color.  Modern patio umbrellas come in nearly any combination of colors and patterns, so choose carefully.  You want an outdoor umbrella that coordinates with the rest of your decorating scheme, so it’s important to have ideas in mind before you start looking around for one.

Coordinate Outdoor Furniture Cushions and Throw Pillows: Have you read this far and are still thinking, “Well, I have Cedar patio furniture and I’m using it in my gazebo.  Don’t you have anything for me?” Yes, I do!  Outdoor furniture cushions and throw pillows will create instant colored accents to your outdoor seating group.  If you’re worried that your cushions will become ruined sitting outdoors, you can breathe a sigh of relief.  Most modern outdoor furniture cushions use special soft-woven techniques to create incredible durability and mildew resistance without sacrificing style or comfort.  Outdoor throw pillows are a great way to add some exciting patterns to your patio furniture.  Matched with a solid colored outdoor furniture cushion, a striped or patterned throw pillow that coordinates with the surrounding colors works well to add interest. As long as you brush off any dirt and put them away in the winter, your outdoor furniture cushions should serve you well in both comfort and style!

Accent with Table Cloths and Outdoor Dishes: A picnic table or outdoor dining set is a great place to add some soft color.  Something as easy as a table cloth or placemat can be changed easily to mix things up for a special occasion or holiday.  If you already have special dishware for outdoor dining, it can be fun to match one of the colors or designs in your dishes to a new table cloth.  If you haven’t yet invested in picnicking dishware, shop for table clothes, place mats, and outdoor dishes together to make sure to create a well-designed and well-balanced set.  Bringing the entire area together will make it look as refined as your indoor dining room!

Grow or Pot Colorful Flowers: Of course, the most natural way to bring color to your patio furniture group is through flowers.  Whether you choose yellow and white daisies, red tulips, or green foliage… the natural coloring is sure to compliment almost any design scheme.  Plus, living and growing color adds a certain depth that even fabrics cannot match.  Try using windows boxes, planters, or planter tubs and arrange them on the steps of your porch or surrounding your patio furniture.  It can either continue your garden onto your porch, or create a garden if there never was one!

Using color in your outdoor rooms is as important as the porch swings, picnic tables, and other patio furniture that invite everyone to come together.  And, having an outdoor living space that’s as colorful and masterfully decorated as your interiors does not require a lot of maintenance or incredible design expertise.  Outdoor living is about leaving the anxiety of everyday life at the door; don’t let it become drab and certainly don’t let it become stressful!  Relax.  Have fun!
