Does patio furniture need to be covered?

When not in use, lounge chairs and outdoor tables need to be covered. In fact, proper patio furniture care means covering all of your pieces. This shields them from pollen, sun exposure, and other outdoor elements.

Before you make your purchase, know the difference between water-resistant and waterproof covers. Some homeowners experience mildew when using waterproof versions. Better choices include patio furniture covers with built-in ventilation. That’s because they allow moisture to exit, while still offering protection.
