Excessive exposure to wind, sun, snow and rain can shorten the lifespan of outdoor furniture dramatically. By using furniture covers regularly and also in the off season it can lengthen the lifespan of furniture ten fold.
Without proper protection throughout the seasons, patio furniture can be subject to damage and color fading that becomes very expensive to replace or repair. Many times replacement is the only option and frequently the furniture styles become obsolete after a few years and become out of date or discontinued.
