Caring For Your Garden Furniture

There's nothing we enjoy more than kicking back and relaxing in the garden during the summer heatwave. Whether it's garden pool parties, al fresco dining, or BBQs, we want to make the most of the outdoors.

However, when your furniture's not being sat on, you've sizzled your last sausage on the barbie, and your pool's all partied out, it's important to look after your garden furniture for when the next occasion rolls along.

We've rounded up five ways in which you can help to care for your garden furniture this summer and beyond!

1. Furniture covers

We think it's safe to say that your furniture needs a coat when it rains too...

Think of them as the stylish capes that shield the set you snagged in a sale - ours hopefully. Whether it's rain, sun, or not-so-friendly critters, your beloved furniture set shouldn't be subject to such conditions! Let's not forget that happy serving of what those local birds ate for breakfast. Save yourself the hassle of scrubbing the sofa down after every summer evening and questioning just what substances you're wiping off!

2. Garden sheds

There's no point in sugarcoating it – it's the UK. So, you shed really think about investing in the best protection for your garden. Unfortunately, the sun doesn't grace us all year round and we doubt any of you are putting your feet up on the sun lounger in November.

Either way, your garden furniture will need some refuge too, so take your pick from our selection of metal and wooden storage sheds. Don't worry about your pieces being lonely in the shed, we're sure that decades old spider can keep it company!

3. BBQ cleaners

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that burnt charcoal will not add any more flavour to your burgers – sorry. We know BBQs can be a tad pricey (unless you shop with us), so you'll want to make sure it can be your summer hosting companion for a little while yet!

A true chef knows just when to turn the skewers, but also when to back out the bristle brush for expert cleaning. Your skills as BBQ genius aren't doubted – until you try to pass off the burnt drumsticks as Gordon Ramsay's latest special. Summer should be about peace and good food – mainly good food!

4. Pool patches

For those of you rocking a pool in your garden – do tell us how! We're a little jealous, but we don't want to burst your bubble. Instead, we want your fun to overflow safely and securely! There's nothing worse than a leak, unless it's coming directly from us about something as fabulous as this.

Wave goodbye to the fear of having to trade your pool for a beach bucket – first world problems ay! This type of protection is shore to guarantee a worry-free summer so you can dive into your plans with ease!

5. Pressure washers and hoses

Feeling under pressure to keep your wooden furniture clean? Never fear, because we've got the perfect solution!

Whether you need to hose down your table and chairs or need to see a sparkling patio again, a pressure washer is ideal for all your cleaning needs. We also have a range of garden hoses which can give you the sprinkling you need (whilst being ideal for watering your plants too).
