Summer isn't over yet, but it's the perfect time to think about how you will utilize your patio during the autumn. Here are four tips on how to extend patio season in style:
1. Performance materials
As the summer months bid farewell, there's still plenty of time to enjoy the cooling weather and gorgeous sunsets before winter arrives. To ensure your patio furniture can sustain the extra dampness that comes with the seasonal shift, consider investing in items made from high-performance materials.
Performance fabrics hold up better than traditional varieties in outdoor conditions. They are more water-resistant, less prone to staining and will not degrade due to a season's worth of humidity.
2. Storage solutions
When the weather changes, it's important to be able to store your outdoor furniture cushions away from the rain. Though performance fabrics will hold up better under extreme conditions, they'll last even longer when stored in a dry place.
A deck box is the perfect place to store your cushions when not in use. When you store them in the house or the garage, they may be too difficult to get to every time you want to enjoy the outdoors. A deck box protects the items while keeping them within reach whenever you need them.
Performance fabrics can withstand tumultuous weather patterns.3. Mobile planters
To store your potted plants in a more accessible manner, try placing them on a multi-tiered, moveable caddy. This way, if the weather gets too cold for sensitive breeds, you can easily roll them inside. Mobile planters with shelves also make it easier to water your potted plants without straining your back.
4. Propane fire pit
Don't let cooler nights stop you from enjoying the outdoors. A propane-powered fire pit table is the perfect answer to chilly nights. Curl up in a blanket with your loved one and enjoy the gentle warmth of an open flame as you watch the stars come out. A fire pit table is easy to maintain and less messy than a traditional bonfire.
