Is it necessary to use protective covers for my garden furniture?

With the arrival of autumn, the days shorten and begin to cool. We’re running out of holidays and probably won’t have as much time to enjoy our terrace, porch, or garden.

At this point, we have all asked ourselves the question: Is it really necessary to cover our outdoor furniture?. Although the use of these protective covers may seem cumbersome or unnecessary their virtues are palpable.

PATIO furniture is tested and tested to withstand the weather. Still, we always recommend the use of protective covers if we can not keep the furniture inside the house. Especially if we’re not gonna use our furniture for a long time.

In PATIO you will find winter covers for all your outdoor furniture: sofas, armchairs, dining tables, barbecues, parasols or hammocks among many other options.  Don’t leave any pieces unprotected this winter.

Read on if you want to know some of the advantages that the use of protective covers for the furniture of your terrace or garden will provide.

Cleaning.

Even if you live in areas with little rain, such as the Costa del Sol, the use of covers will protect your furniture from dust, pollination or dew.

​This way you will always have it ready for use when you need to use your sofas or sun loungers again.

UV protection.

The sun is the first factor of wear that faces our garden furniture. It can not only discolor the tissues but also corrosion the fibres and structures. Is important for your outer cover to have UV protection to extend the life of the furniture.

No more unexpected guests.

No one would like to check that our favourite outdoor sofa has become the shelter of some stray animal. With the use of covers in addition to closing the passage to these animals, you will avoid the appearance of insects such as ticks or fleas.

Shelter from the Wind.

In areas such as Sotogrande or La Costa de la Luz, we find gusts of wind that can sometimes be especially strong. If we have our furniture secured by covers we will prevent the wind to disperse or damage them.
 
Our cover must have adjustable ropes, eyelets or Velcro straps.  A perfect hold to achieve your mission successfully!

Avoid standing water.

Sometimes rainwater can get stuck on our tables or chairs without us realizing it. The appearance of mould and moisture leads to the appearance of bacteria and stains.

​With the use of a breathable winter cover, you will avoid them by keeping the furniture in perfect condition.

Protects against theft and theft.

The use of winter covers conceals its contents from view. If our terrace or garden is accessible at street level or through a neighbour we avoid temptations from the friends of others.

Do not hesitate if you want to have the maximum protection for your terrace and garden furniture. Take the measurements of your outfit and visit your nearest PATIO centre. Our specialists will advise you to choose the best cover to meet your needs.
