4 Risks of Leaving Your Outdoor Table Uncovered

Watching your outdoor table slowly get destroyed by the elements can be heartbreaking. While it is sometimes possible to reverse the damage weather causes on outdoor furniture, it can be an expensive and difficult process.

If your outdoor table and chairs are already weather damaged, you can avoid further damage can be by investing in a table cover. However, it is best to be proactive and get a cover right after your furniture purchase to prevent the expense and struggle of attempting to make your table look like new again.

1. The 4 main risks of leaving your tables and chairs uncovered are damage from: sunlight, water, dirt and leaves, and animals and insects.
2. Coverstore provides a wide variety of table and table chair set covers to help you protect the investment you have put into your patio.
3. Coverstore’s four collections each offer different features and give you the choice to pick what is best for you.

This is probably the biggest risk to your furniture. The sun can cause both aesthetic and structural damage.

Wood tables and chairs will fade or become sun bleached if left outside in the sun all day every day. This damage can be reversed, but the process is often difficult and time consuming. As the wood continues to be damaged by the sun, it will become weaker. This opens it up to the risk of cracking and splintering.

If you live in an area that rains a lot, you definitely need to be proactive in protecting your outdoor furniture. No one likes the surprise of sitting on a wet chair, especially if there’s a cushion on it.

When the water on wood furniture dries, it typically will leave water stains. Like sun damage, these stains can be removed or covered up, but the process can be difficult and expensive.

Water also encourages wood to rot and metal to rust, neither of which are ideal for your patio.

If your table and chairs are under a tree, leaves are sure to fall on it. When doing yard work, grass and dirt may fly up and get on the furniture. This means you’ll need to wipe down your furniture before use, and some of it may still get stuck in the cracks (especially if you have wicker furniture).

Another pesky substance that can dirty up your furniture is pollen. In spring, pollen seems to appear out of nowhere. It will cover your car, your outdoor furniture, and anything else that is left outside. Cut down on your cleaning time and invest in an outdoor furniture cover. Read how to effectively remove pollen from your furniture.

Bird and squirrel droppings are never a welcome sight on tables and chairs. Your plans to have a nice outdoor dinner could quickly be ruined by various critters leaving you special "gifts" on your furniture.

Spring also brings more issues from animals and insects, namely squirrels. Squirrels love to chew, and leaving your outdoor cushions or pillows out in the open is squirrel heaven. Once they chew a hole in your cushion, that gives cockroaches and other unpleasant insects the chance to burrow inside.

We offer many sizes, styles, and colors of table and table chair set covers. We recommend using a table chair set cover if you have an outside dining table with several chairs around it. Getting one of these covers will be less expensive than purchasing chair covers separately, and is quicker to take on and off.

Several styles of our covers also include built-in umbrella holes. This makes the process of putting on and taking off your cover much easier since you can leave your umbrella in place. You can even purchase a matching umbrella cover to go along with your table cover. Learn more about our umbrella covers.
