URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Outdoor furniture cushions often become airborne during windy days, creating frustration and potential damage. Fortunately, several practical solutions can keep them securely in place. Start by investing in cushion clips or fasteners that attach cushions directly to furniture frames. These simple devices create a permanent connection that withstands moderate winds. Alternatively, consider adding weight to your cushions. You can purchase specially designed cushion weights or create DIY versions using sandbags or weighted beads sewn into cushion casings. For furniture with removable cushions, look for models with built-in tie-down systems or Velcro strips that secure cushions to chair seats and backs. Another effective approach involves using bungee cords or weather-resistant straps to fasten cushions across furniture frames. When severe weather is forecast, develop the habit of storing cushions in waterproof containers or indoor spaces. For permanent protection, consider installing windbreaks such as privacy screens, lattice panels, or strategic landscaping around your outdoor seating area. Regularly inspect your cushion security systems, as exposure to weather can weaken materials over time. Combining multiple methods typically provides the best protection against unexpected gusts, ensuring your outdoor cushions remain where they belong regardless of weather conditions.
