Although our northern friends face a much harsher fall and winter, it is still essential to protect your patio furniture as the air gets colder in Florida. Our rainy season is also still in effect, so there may be times you need to cover your valued outside items to protect them from rust, mildew, or mold. Here at Belleair Storage, we provide you with some tips to keep your outdoor patio furniture safe and organized during the fall and winter months.
Before You Store, Wash your Patio Furniture
Before you choose the right location to store your patio furniture, it is wise to give it a good wash. Start with quality cleaning products made for patio furniture. Then be sure to remove any cobwebs, dirt, and debris from the furniture, as these can damage or stain over a prolonged time. Also, make sure you dry it thoroughly, so it does not get rust, mold, or mildew on it. Once you’ve cleaned and inspected your patio furniture, you are ready to put it away for the fall and winter.
Protect your Furniture with Secure Covers
You’ll want to shield your furniture if you’re leaving it out through fall and winter. Invest in protective covering for the chairs and loungers, including the tables. You can also use inexpensive plastic tarps to cover them, keeping the items protected from moisture damage.
Use a Storage Shed for Pillows and Cushions
A patio storage shed is a good option for keeping your patio cushions, pillows, and other items organized and protected. Plastic resin sheds come in compact sizes and fit on small and large patios, giving you a place in which to hold your goods and to keep them dry and protected. However, we know that not everyone lives in a home to have this option. We offer shed-like storage spaces with our non-climate controlled units starting at a 5×5 size.
Create a Space in Your Garage
If you have a garage, create a spot in the corner for your patio furniture. Once it’s stored, cover it with a tarp or blankets to keep dust and debris off of it. Purchasing plastic storage bins is also beneficial for storing and organizing pillows, small cushions, and blankets.
Organize your Belongings in Self-storage
Organize your Belongings in Self-storageWe understand that not everyone has extra space for storing patio furniture and items indoors. This fact is especially true for us Floridians, as we don’t have basements, and many of us live in condos. Self-storage is the best solution for obtaining added space for your things and keeping them protected and organized in one place. Climate controlled units are even better and protect your belongings from temperature and moisture damage.
