How to protect your outdoor furniture and get ready for winter

Hide away your cushions, gardening tools and plant pots

Here are a few simple ideas to help you get started. A shelving unit, can store things that resist frost, like these FJÄRILSBUSKE plant pots. A SOCKERBIT box makes a great place to tidy gardening tools away indoors until next spring. Why not put cushions and throws into DIMPA storage bags to store inside, too? And if you keep your NÄMMARÖ storage box outdoors, don’t forget to use a waterproof TOSTERÖ cover.

Fold and tuck away your patio furniture

With colder temperatures and autumn winds on the horizon, foldable furniture, like this SUNDSÖ bistro set, is easier to put away as it takes up less space. If you can, store it in a cool dry place indoors. If you decide to keep it outdoors, use a waterproof TOSTERÖ cover, and make sure that air can circulate to avoid condensation.

Tidy up your balcony

Before you store away furniture like this TÄRNÖ table and chairs, here’s a way to give it some protection from the weather but still have it handy for a coffee on a sunny day. Simply fold it and hang it on the wall. And you can keep your space tidy with a KOLBJÖRN cabinet, protected from rust thanks to its powder-coated galvanised steel. It’s a great place for things that can resist frost, like MUSKOTBLOMMA plant pots, for example.

How to deal with the big stuff

When you’re covering your outdoor furniture for the winter, make sure to remove any cushions and store them away for the off-season. Even if they are made of resilient, outdoor-safe fabrics, this will lessen the amount of clean-up you’ll have to do when spring arrives. Waterproof TOSTERÖ covers come in various sizes to fit storage, furniture and parasols to protect them from weather, dust, and dirt.
