Patio Furniture Storage, Your Best Option

Patio furniture is a big investment. The best way to preserve your patio furniture is by keeping it stored in a covered space such as a shed or garage while they are not in use. Of course this is not an option for everyone but if you have a garage or shed you should use it to house your outdoor patio furniture. You can also add years of life to your outdoor patio furniture with a patio furniture cover.

Covers specifically made for patio furniture provide superior protection for your outdoor furniture collection. You can even use them if you intend to store your patio furniture in the garage or shed. Some people also take their cushions off the patio chairs and patio benches and place them in a patio storage hamper until the next season of use.

Before you move your patio furniture to the garage or shed be sure to clear and clean the space well. Sweep, pressure wash, or mop up if possible. Make sure the area is dry before placing the patio furniture there. Check over the outdoor garden furniture to make sure nothing is broken or cracked. Stacking broken chairs can make them unusable in the future. Placing things on a broken table could make it collapse. By looking the pieces over first you can see the best way to stack and store them.

Also clean your patio furniture before you store it and after you take it out to put it back in the yard. This will help you get the most out of it. Don’t forget to secure the garage or shed so that unwanted pests don’t take up residence.
With a little planning and advance cleanup you will get many more years out of your patio furniture.
