How to store garden cushions properly: 3 options

Rain and the change in temperature between day and night quickly cause damp cushions on garden furniture . Mould is often the result. This is how you protect your garden cushions .

When it's finally warm enough outside to enjoy time in the garden, it's time to get the garden furniture out and enjoy the beautiful time. But then you get a shock! The garden furniture cushions have mildew stains!

Option 1 – Protective cover:

This option allows you to kill two birds with one stone: cover your garden furniture and cushions with suitable protective covers. This way, you not only protect the cushions from dirt and rain, but also the furniture itself. Protective covers can therefore also help to extend the lifespan of garden furniture, as they reduce the effects of the weather. These protective covers are available for each chair and table individually, as well as for entire seating groups. You can find suitable garden furniture covers on Amazon, for example.

When using such a cover, however, it is important to ensure that there is sufficient ventilation. Therefore, you should only place the cover loosely on the garden furniture and remove it from time to time, especially when the sun is shining.

➤ Option 2 – Storage box:

So-called storage boxes are much better than protective covers. These are available in a wide range of materials and designs. Whether made of plastic, metal, wood or polyrattan - there is something for every garden style. And the great thing about it: if it suddenly starts to rain, you can quickly stow the garden cushions in the box.

➤ Option 3 – Protective carrying case:

If you have a garden shed and want to store your garden cushions inside, you should either put them in a storage box or a protective carrying bag. This water-repellent cover protects your cushions from dirt and moisture, which also keeps them optimally clean and well-maintained. Such bags are also sturdy and weatherproof.

With such bags you kill two birds with one stone: On the one hand, you can leave the bag in the garden in summer and on the other hand, you also have a great storage bag for the winter, because then you can put it together with the garden cushions in the garden shed or in the attic.
