Did you know that storing outdoor furniture correctly can extend its lifespan and keep it looking pristine for the next season?
As the seasons change and colder months approach, it’s time to bid farewell to the sunny days spent in the backyard or patio. However, you must properly care for your outdoor furniture before curling by the fireplace. Storing outdoor furniture correctly can extend its lifespan and keep it looking pristine for the next season. At Affordable Storage Guys, we understand the value of outdoor furniture and offer secure and convenient storage solutions to ensure it stays in top condition until you’re ready to enjoy it again. In this article, we’ll provide some practical tips on storing your outdoor furniture with ease and peace of mind. Let’s get started!
Step 1. Let's Clean Things Up and Make Sure Everything is Prepped
Before storing your outdoor furniture, make sure to clean it well. Wipe off any dirt, debris, or stains and allow it to dry completely to prevent mold or mildew growth during storage. For wooden furniture, consider applying a protective sealant to prevent moisture damage.
Step 2. Let's Break it Down and Tidy Things Up
If possible, disassemble your furniture to save space and prevent any strain during transport. Keep all screws, bolts, and small parts together in a sealed bag to ensure they don’t get misplaced. Organize your furniture pieces efficiently, and consider wrapping cushions and delicate items in plastic or furniture covers to protect them from dust and potential pests.
Step 3. It's All About Picking the Perfect Storage Space
At Affordable Storage Guys, we offer a range of storage unit sizes to accommodate your outdoor furniture and other belongings. Opt for a unit that provides enough space to store your furniture without overcrowding. Additionally, consider climate-controlled units to protect your furniture from extreme temperatures or humidity.
Step 4. Protect and Preserve Your Outdoor Furniture
To protect your furniture from any potential water damage, elevate it off the ground using pallets or blocks. This will prevent any moisture seepage during storage. Additionally, cover your furniture with breathable materials like old sheets or furniture covers to shield it from dust and scratches.
Step 5. Secure, Lock, and Wait The Cold Season Out...
Security is a top priority at Affordable Storage Guys. Once you’ve stored your outdoor furniture, ensure the unit is securely locked with a high-quality padlock. Many of our facilities have advanced security measures, including 24/7 video surveillance and secure access controls, giving you peace of mind while your belongings are in storage.
