Why should I cover my rattan garden furniture in summer?
You are probably wondering why you need to cover your rattan garden furniture in summer. The reality is the British Summer time isn't always as sunny as we would like and therre are often spells of rain. In addition to this, you want to protect your garden furniture from dust and debris, and of course bird droppings ( which can happen at any moment in time). Especially when you are going on holiday, you may come back to it looking grubby!
Why should it is essential to cover my rattan garden furniture in Winter?
Being honest, no one wants to be sat out during the British winter time weather. Often rattan garden furniture sets are quite large, and people will lack space to store them indoors during winter. Galavanised steel garden furniture frames can quickly rust when exposed to the elements, so it is important to keep them as dry as possible. Although Aluminium has brilliant weather resistant properties, and our aluminium firepit rattan sets won't rust due to being high-quality rattan there is still the cushions to consider. Long exposure to extreme weather can significantly reduce the lifetime of the cushions for your rattan garden furniture set.
We always reccomend that any model of rattan garden furniture set you have whether it is luxury rattan garden furniture with aluminium frames, or galavanised steel rattan corner sets, covering them during winter will increase the life of your furniture and you will be able to make use out of it for many other British Summertimes!
