Garden Furniture and its Resistance to the Elements

25 Jan 2021

A quick glance out of the window now will probably be enough to quash all thoughts of sitting in the garden. However, spring is not that far off really and hopefully this will bring a much-needed increase in the temperature and maybe a reduction in the rainfall. All of this can only herald one thing, and that is the fact that people will want to get out and about, potter in their gardens and get them looking their best after a long winter. They may also want to update them to make them somewhere that they will enjoy in order to relax and unwind.

Whether you have a small or a large garden, this undoubtedly means having some form of furniture out there so that you have a place you can sit and watch the world go by. Of course, the weather in the UK can be unpredictable, its certainly very wet, and this exposure to the elements over the winter months can take its tole on your garden furniture.

How do you protect garden furniture?

One important consideration that people have when purchasing furniture for their gardens is how resistant it will be to the elements, and what they might be able to do to protect it, particularly over the winter months when the weather is at its harshest.

For those people who have a garage space or a large shed then storing it inside is certainly an option, especially if the furniture can be folded and will take up less room. However, this option is not possible for many people. There are covers that you can purchase to protect your garden furniture from the rain and colder temperatures. However, these do not always fit as well as you might like and during strong winds, they can become loose, which often results in them ripping or blowing away.

If you have purchased wooden garden furniture then there are products that you can use to treat it. These offer it a protective coating that can help, however, your furniture will require regular cleaning and reapplying of these coatings to help maintain its durability over time. You should think about getting a Garden room if you need an extra space without extending.

All of this might seem like a lot of effort and in some cases is enough to put people off buying garden furniture; instead choosing to purchase deckchairs that they can store elsewhere and only bring out when it is nice and sunny. There is another choice and that is the weatherproof patio furniture set.

Why choose weatherproof patio furniture?

If you are looking for an alternative to the more traditional wooden or wrought iron garden furniture that will need either regular maintenance, or covered storage to protect it, then this can be a really good alternative. It can be left out during the winter and is incredibly resistant to the elements, it also looks great and can add a real design feature to any garden. Whether you have a smaller garden and only really have space for a bench or a bistro style table or a much larger garden and are looking for something that the whole family can use, weatherproof garden furniture comes in a fantastic range of sizes and designs. And, just like the more traditional options for garden furniture, offers something for everyone. Why not check out a Garden Office so you can work in comfort at home.

In these uncertain and stressful times access to fresh air is vital for good mental health; this means being able to get out in your garden and enjoy it. Because it only needs a quick wipe down before you can use it after inclement weather waterproof patio furniture makes it really easy to get out in your garden, just make a hot drink, wrap up warm and venture outside to make the most of that all important fresh air.
