Buying luxury patio furniture is expensive, but unlike the cheap stuff that falls apart after a year, high end patio furniture will last you many more. It will even last you a lifetime if proper maintenance steps are taken. The Following are precautions you can take to properly protect your patio furniture and further extend its life.

Seasonal Storage- Luxury patio furniture is made to last through the toughest of weather and are commonly treated with anti-rust finishes, but that doesn’t mean you should leave your patio furniture out during a blizzard. If you live in a climate with harsh winters, we always advise that you have a place to properly store your furniture so that it stays dry and away from, extra, unnecessary wear and tear. Before purchasing patio furniture, it is also important that you double check to see if your set is all-weather. If it is not, then storing your furniture during the cold months and putting covers on during rain, is a must.

Patio Furniture Covers– Like we said before, it is always a good idea to get to know your patio furniture after buying it. Is it a material that is pron to rust? Does it have a anti-rust finish on it? Is it all weather? Are the cushions water resistant or water proof? If it isn’t any of these things, it is extremely important that you always cover your patio furniture when there is a chance of bad weather. If it is, it is still a good idea to cover your furniture if rain is a possibility. The more you keep your patio furniture away from harsh weather conditions, the longer it will last. Protective finishes can only last so long but if it does get caught in a mid summer storm, don’t sweat it!
