Quick answer: Protect garden furniture by following the material-specific care instructions, cleaning and drying surfaces before covering, storing cushions in a dry ventilated place and preventing water from pooling. A cover should fit without trapping persistent damp, while a storage box must suit the cushion dimensions and site. Inspect fixings and surfaces regularly, especially after wind or prolonged rain.
This UK-focused guide is designed to make the decision practical. Start with your real conditions, space and constraints; use the checklist to narrow the options; then verify any product against its live specification.
Should furniture stay covered all summer?
Use a suitable breathable cover and air the furniture periodically.
- Never tightly cover wet furniture.
- Secure covers so they do not flap or blow loose.
How should cushions be stored?
Brush debris away and dry every cushion layer.
- Compare the longest cushion with internal box dimensions.
- Inspect storage after heavy rain.
What maintenance prevents bigger problems?
Use cleaners suited to the exact material.
- Check permitted fixings, feet, joints and frames.
- Move or secure lightweight pieces before severe weather.
