In order for the furniture to survive this, it has to be made using high quality materials, and using a tried and tested method of manufacturing. We understand exactly what this kind of furniture is likely to go through, so we always design it in such a manner that it can resist it. The net result is outdoor furniture that will last ages. This also means that you will need to spend less on repairs and replacements in future.
Product care
Read and closely follow Product Care instructions. The care may of us invest on the interior of homes os significantly more than we invest on the exterior of homes. The level of technology in outdoor furniture is superior to indoor product as are the materials and this is why the costs for good quality outdoor furniture are greater. Furniture has to really withstand excessive climatic conditions and lack of care and yet look great all the time. At a minimum, protect your furniture and invest in great outdoor furniture covers, this not only keeps outdoor furniture looking great ALL the time, it helps keep furniture dry, fabrics brighter and overall, it extends the longevity of the life of your product. Great covers can be found in specialist retailers such as www.Koverroos.com – this company takes furniture covers to a brand new level of technology. Plastic covers with no insulation potentially can provide more harm than good. Make sure you understand what you are purchasing.
