subject: Seasonal Dangers Your Garden Furniture Manufacturer Should Prepare For [print this page] If you live in a seasonal climate, then you know how difficult the weather can sometimes be, especially if you keep your furniture outside. Cheaper forms of garden furniture can get blown around, waterlogged, damaged, and dried out depending on what time of year it is. If you are concerned about the weather and what it may do to your furniture, then you really need to be in the hunt for products from a quality garden furniture manufacturer. With a professional caliber company crafting products, either from sturdy natural or synthetic materials, you can rest assured that your outdoor furnishings will be able to outlast the storms that Mother Nature throws your way. But the only way that you can know you're getting quality product is if your garden furniture manufacturer is aware of the dangers and willing to address them in the production process. So just what seasonal dangers should your manufacturer prepare for? Any or all of the following:
1) Incredibly dry seasons
Dryness is a huge fear for many. When the weather is very hot or very cold, it can produce a dryness capable of weighing on the materials and leading to cracks and splits. If the material is of a low grade and not protected adequately, then this is almost a certainty for happening. While it is your responsibility to care for a product once you get it, it is the manufacturer's responsibility to create a product that will require as little upkeep from you as possible. It's why they charge what they do for the chair or furniture set in the first place. So if they are shipping to dry climates, your manufacturer needs to be aware of the hazards and use tough materials designed to last.
2) Wet and windy
Equally as dangerous to the life span of a piece of garden furniture is the wet and windy seasons. When faced with the storms of the season, you have to be mindful of the damage that can occur to your furniture. But it is your manufacturer's job to use sturdy materials, which can withstand winds. They also want to make sure that the furniture is "treatable" or is at least strong enough to take some rainfall. You shouldn't have to worry about the overall health of your garden furniture every time it rains. The product should be strong enough to stand up to common weather occurrences.
3) High disaster areas
Sometimes damage is unavoidable. While you have a responsibility to use care with your furniture during times of high disaster possibility, your manufacturer should do all that it can to give you furniture that is strong, comfortable, and lightweight. You also want it to be mobile enough for moving to cover in worst case scenarios.
