You have two options when it comes to deck furniture - buy pieces you will love during the main outdoor entertaining season in your area, or patio furniture you love year round. You may be wondering what the difference is. It's simple. There is some furniture that will put up with whatever weather comes your way, from torrential rains and blistering heat to 6 foot snow drifts. There are other pieces that can handle moderate weather, but need to be protected from the extremes. While that may not seem like a big deal right now, having to pull those pieces of pool furniture inside every time Mother Nature throws a curve ball can be quite annoying. Eventually you may even misplace some of that anger and take it out on your patio furniture.
The best option is to put a little extra money out, up front, to purchase a more weather resistant patio furniture set that you will love year round.
Furniture Feet Protectors
Now you may be thinking that you don't need to worry about these things, because you wouldn't use your patio furniture when it's cold, so you can just bring it inside. But why shouldn't you use your outdoor furniture when it's cold? You could have a fabulous outdoor gathering, even when the mercury has dipped very low, by setting up an outdoor fireplace, bringing the patio furniture close, and sipping hot cocoa or cider as you enjoy the contrast of the cold air and warmth of the drink and fire. You just need to make sure you have the right patio furniture for the job.
The first thing to look for is the words 'all weather' on the patio furniture pieces you like. Read up on what that really means for those items. Many will let you know just what temperatures and weather conditions they can withstand.
Make sure to get cushions for your patio furniture. Most pieces come with cushions these days. Read about the cushions. Sometimes, while the outdoor furniture itself can handle the weather, the cushions need a little more protection and have to be brought in. You may be able to find some cushions that are just as resistant to the conditions, but often they are less comfortable. You'll have to make that call.
If you decide bringing the deck furniture in during extreme conditions is the better option, make sure the patio furniture you choose is easy to move. You don't want to get a table that weighs hundreds of pounds if its one you will have to roll into the house. Think about what you can move on your own, or with another person, and stick within those limits. You also need to think about the chairs you choose if they are going to be coming inside. You don't want large bulky chairs, unless you happen to have a completely empty garage. Most garages are already packed with things and don't have the space to add much more. Stacking chairs are a good way to solve this problem, being able to be put one top of one another and conserving floor space.
