Summer’s over. The grill is cleaned, the last BBQ was a hit… but now the weather’s changing.
And your garden furniture? It’s still outside — soaking up moisture, catching frost, or fading in the autumn sun.

Let’s fix that.
Whether you’re dealing with stackable chairs, lounge sets, heavy flowerpots, or foldable tables — smart storage can protect your gear and make your spring setup way easier.

This guide shows you how to store your garden furniture properly — and when it makes sense to keep it offsite.

Why garden furniture needs extra care during the off-season

Ob Kunststoff, Holz, Metall oder Rattan – jede Oberfläche reagiert empfindlich auf WeNo matter if it’s plastic, wood, metal, or rattan — outdoor furniture materials react to the weather:

  • Moisture causes wood to warp, metal to rust, and cushions to grow mould
  • UV light fades surfaces — even in autumn and winter
  • Frost cracks ceramic pots and damages glass tops
  • Cushions stored in damp cellars? Instant mildew party 🎉

💡 A bit of smart storage now can save you a lot of money and effort come spring.

5 quick tips for storing garden furniture at home

  1. Clean thoroughly before storing
      Dirt traps moisture — and moisture causes damage.
  2. Store cushions separately
      Use breathable storage bags or boxes in a dry, cool place.
  3. Stack smart to save space
      Nest chairs, fold tables, and dismantle when possible.
  4. Protect planters from frost
      Ceramic and clay pots should be kept in frost-free zones.
  5. Covers are useful – but let air in
      Never seal furniture completely; trapped moisture = mould.

No basement, no garage – no problem

If you live in an apartment or simply don’t have the space, it’s time to think bigger.
Dragging furniture into stairwells, squeezing it onto balconies, or shoving it into a dusty garage isn’t ideal.

And renting a classic self storage unit? That means keys, transport, contracts…
There’s a smarter way.
