How to protect Outdoor Sofa Set from rain and sun

To protect your outdoor sofa set from rain and sun, here are the most effective strategies:

Protection from Rain

Waterproof Covers:

Use high-quality, UV- and water-resistant furniture covers that fit your sofa set snugly.

Look for breathable materials to prevent mold and mildew.

Waterproofing Sprays:

Apply fabric protector sprays (e.g., Scotchgard Outdoor) on cushions and fabrics to repel water.

Elevated Bases:

Ensure the sofa has legs or an elevated base to avoid direct contact with pooling water.

Storage:

Store cushions indoors or in a deck box when not in use.

Sloped Surfaces:

Place the furniture on a slightly sloped surface or add risers to promote drainage and prevent water accumulation.

Protection from Sun

Shade Solutions:

Use umbrellas, awnings, pergolas, or shade sails to block direct sunlight.

UV-Resistant Fabrics:

Opt for cushions with UV-protected covers (e.g., Sunbrella fabric) that resist fading.

Reapply UV Protectant:

Use UV sprays or fabric guard solutions periodically to extend fabric life.

Rotate Furniture:

Change the orientation occasionally to ensure even exposure and avoid uneven fading.

Seasonal Storage:

During harsh seasons, store furniture in a garage or shed, or cover completely.
