URBAN OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Metal urban outdoor furniture can add a stylish, modern touch to your outdoor space, but its hard legs and feet pose a significant risk of scratching and scuffing your beautiful composite deck. The good news is that preventing this damage is straightforward with a few simple protective measures. The most effective and immediate solution is to use protective pads or caps on the feet of your furniture. You can find felt pads, rubber caps, or even plastic glides that are specifically designed for this purpose. These create a soft, non-abrasive barrier between the metal and your deck's surface. Simply clean the furniture feet, peel and stick the pads, and you have an instant layer of protection. Another excellent option is to use outdoor rugs or mats underneath your furniture arrangement. This not only protects the deck but also defines your seating area and adds a pop of color and texture. When moving your furniture, always lift it instead of dragging or sliding it across the deck. Dragging is a primary cause of deep, permanent scratches. For a more permanent setup, consider using small, flat stones or tiles as stable platforms for the furniture legs. Regularly clean your deck and the bottom of your furniture feet to remove any abrasive grit or sand that could act like sandpaper. By implementing these easy strategies, you can enjoy your stylish metal furniture without worrying about damaging the investment you've made in your composite deck.
