One of the most significant landmarks in a calendar year is the day we remove our garden furniture covers to let our tables, chairs and sofas breathe and soak up the emerging sunlight. It gives us a psychological boost and officially signals the turning of the corner on the home straight to summertime. Garden furniture covers are an essential investment to keep our items safely wrapped up over autumn and winter, and protected from the harsh weather we always encounter in the UK. And while they provide an important job in protecting our furniture and extending their lifespan so we get good value for money, they do also serve a purpose during summer.
Our garden furniture covers at Bags And Covers Direct are made from strong waterproof polyester fabric, which can be supplied as premium quality 500 denier or deluxe quality 750 denier. These protect your garden furniture from the rain, wind, snow and frost they are exposed to, given you usually have to keep these stored outside, but let’s not pretend we get amazing weather guaranteed from April/May to September/October. There are plenty of times in between in which we still have to protect our garden furniture.
Why you need to protect your garden furniture even in the summer
Revealing the splendour and comfort of your garden furniture during spring is an enjoyable moment, but it doesn’t automatically trigger a three-month heatwave. The UK weather can be hugely unpredictable at any time, but particularly in late spring, and while we can be blessed by a week of high temperatures and cloudless skies in May, that doesn’t remove the chance of June being a complete washout. Therefore we need to be vigilant to the weather and maintain a continued mindset of protecting our garden furniture.
Accurate weather apps now enable us to see a week or so ahead with great visibility, and if we see a few days of rain and cold temperatures on the horizon, it is a good idea to wrap our garden furniture up again on a temporary basis. This maybe doesn’t need the full belt and braces we apply at the end of the year, and maybe we don’t need to employ the drawcords and locks to ensure our covers don’t get lifted away by strong winds, but it does help to protect our garden furniture from extended periods of rain during the summer, to prevent rusting, colour fade and the damaging effects of too much exposure. This means that when we do hit the good weather again, our furniture is dry, in good condition and looking great, so it can be used again straight away.
