A coating gives garden furniture a new look and protects it from the elements
Prepare garden furniture for the new season in spring
As soon as the sun is in the sky again for a long time, it is the right time to bring out the old garden furniture and check it. Old and unsightly pieces of furniture can be prepared with a few tricks and turned into trinkets in the garden again.
Prepare garden furniture and clean it well
If you have cleaned the garden furniture well before the winter and brought it to the winter quarters, you usually do not have much to prepare. It is then enough to free them from dirt and cobwebs.
Depending on the nature of the material, the garden furniture is sprayed with soapy water, sponge or a water hose. However, you should not clean wooden furniture, but use a root brush and household sponge.
If you have cleaned the garden furniture, you can see if the fabric is ok, if the hinges are still working properly or if there are unsightly stains on the shelves.
Refurbish wooden garden furniture and refresh
Wooden garden furniture is refreshed by treating the dry wood with wood care oil. This enhances the color, protects against fading and makes the surface more resistant to dirt.
Lacquered garden furniture, where the paint has only slightly chipped off, prepare by repairing the paint spots. If the paint peels off heavily, you need the furniture
Process plastic garden furniture
Plastic garden furniture is particularly affected by the weather. The material becomes brittle and the color fades. Smaller fading and stains can be repaired with special paint for plastics.
If the plastic is very faded, you can not do much to refresh the garden furniture. Maybe it's time to buy new furniture or build a lounger or garden lounge yourself.
Garden furniture made of metal and iron handle
Metal and iron are very resistant materials. Careful cleaning is usually sufficient. If necessary, remove smaller rust spots with appropriate means.
Iron furniture has a particularly decorative effect due to the patina that forms over time.
Tips
The least garden furniture is actually winterproof and can stay out even in frost and snow. Above all, furniture made of untreated or varnished wood and plastic is better placed in the garage or cellar.
