The Best Protection for Your Outdoor Furniture This Winter
In this blog, we will discuss how to prepare your furniture for storage and the many benefits of using our affordable furniture self-storage as it pertains to protecting your investment and preventing unnecessary wear and tear.
Preparing Your Outdoor Furniture for Storage
Before you move your outdoor furniture into a storage unit, proper preparation is key. Here is how:
Cleaning Your Furniture Before Storage
First of all, clean your garden furniture. Dirt and debris, along with bird droppings, will be a great deal more difficult to handle the longer it is allowed to sit around. The various materials differ in how care must be applied to them:
- Wooden furniture should be cleaned by using a mild soap in water.
- Metal pieces should just be wiped with a damp cloth and then treated with rust protection.
- All plastic and rattan furniture will require scrubbing to remove grime but should be treated with a non-abrasive cleanser.
- Whatever the type of material, one thing that is very important is that everything is totally dry before going into storage, otherwise, mould or mildew may damage them.
Protective Treatments
To further protect your furniture during its time in storage, apply the following treatments based on the material:
- Wooden furniture-benefits from a coat of varnish or wood treatment oil.
- Anti-rust sprays can be applied to metal furniture.
- Cushions and soft furnishings should be sprayed with waterproofing sprays.
Dismantling and Organisation
When pieces of your furniture can be dismantled, this is highly recommended to save space in your affordable self-storage unit. Dismantle tables, chairs, and umbrellas to give you more storage space. Keep small parts of your fixtures - such as screws and bolts - in labelled bags to make it easy to reassemble.
Wrapping Materials and Covers
For added protection, wrap the furniture in covers or tarpaulin. This will keep your items free from dust and dampness, which may mean they come out of storage looking no different from when they went in.

The Benefits of Using Self-Storage for Garden Furniture
Protection of Furniture from Extreme UK Weather
We will accommodate your furniture in a safe and weather-free environment. Leaving your garden set outside during months that may be harsher exposes them to rain, frost, and cold winds that may crack or rust your investment, ultimately contributing to deterioration. Our self storage offers a controlled environment that will protect your investment from the wear and tear of weather changes.
Prevention of Long-Term Damage
This is because outdoor furniture will degrade naturally at a much faster rate if left outdoors during winter. When you put your items into furniture storage unit, you are protecting them from exposure to the elements. Doing this will greatly extend the life of your furniture and save you money in the long run since you will not need to replace or repair it as often.
Optimise Space at Home
