URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

To keep your metal urban outdoor furniture from rusting during winter months, follow these essential maintenance steps. First, thoroughly clean all surfaces with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris that can trap moisture. After cleaning, apply a protective coating such as automotive wax or specialized metal protectant to create a barrier against moisture. For existing minor rust, use a wire brush to remove it before applying a rust-inhibiting primer and touch-up paint. Consider using waterproof furniture covers specifically designed for outdoor use, ensuring they're breathable to prevent condensation buildup. If possible, store furniture in a dry, covered area like a garage or shed during harsh winter months. For permanent outdoor placement, elevate furniture slightly above ground using feet or pads to prevent water accumulation. Regularly check your furniture throughout winter and remove snow accumulation promptly to prevent moisture seepage into joints and crevices. These preventive measures will significantly extend your metal furniture's lifespan and maintain its aesthetic appeal through multiple winter seasons.
