This is the time of year when everyone starts thinking of their outdoor furniture and what to do to maintain it over the winter. It certainly can be a job and costly at that. If you have wood or teak you will need to find a place to store the furniture as it cannot be left out in the elements.

Metal furniture should also be stored inside to protect it from the elements as it may rust. Plastic furniture can be left out however it should be covered. This gets expensive as covers can cost up towards $50.00 for each piece of furniture. Not to mention that wood, teak, metal and plastic furniture can all blow away in the blustery winter weather.

So how do you maintain your Stone Furniture?
 

This is the great news. As your neighbors are staining and weather proofing their wood and teak furniture you will be enjoying the nice fall days sitting in your Stone Furniture.

All woods are susceptible to rot and decay if left in damp, humid, and shady areas for a long time. Wood that becomes saturated with rain or snow is more likely to warp and rot. Exposure to common items such as alcoholic beverages, plants and flower nectar, and hot items (off of a grill, for example) can permanently stain and damage wood surfaces.

Additionally, it is vital to prevent plastic objects, like plastic table cloths, toys, placemats, and appliance covers, from lying on wood furniture for a long period of time because plastic can discolor wood. Plastic can also stick to and damage a wood finish.

Stone Furniture doesn't require staining or weather proofing which makes it easy to maintain and easy on the environment. Stone Furniture is sturdy and durable and doesn't have to have special care and treatment or avoid a lot of what is naturally in an outdoor environment.

As your neighbors are hauling their furniture off to storage, and maybe even asking if you have room in your garage, you will be relaxing in your durable Stone Furniture that has already survived 100's of winters and is ready for whatever mother nature has to offer.
