Storage and support

Remove your pavilion cover and curtains. These can easily get damaged under the weight of accumulated snow. Prior to storing, wait until they’re completely dry, as trapped moisture can lead to mold. Store them carefully in a dry place, protected from the elements to prevent potential wear.

If you cannot store your furniture indoors , we suggest putting wooden blocks or bricks under the legs to prevent water infiltration, which could eventually lead to damage from freezing. (Please note that freeze damage is not covered by any of our manufacturer’s warranties.) Next, use covers or tarps to protect your furniture and make sure they fit snugly to prevent any water from getting in. Covering your furniture in the winter is the best way to extend its use and reduce the impact of exposure to the elements.

Read on for how to store your teak furniture during the winter season.

• Before storing your teak furniture for winter, clean it thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or residue. Use a soft brush and soapy water to clean the wood surface, avoiding high-pressure cleaners that can damage it.
• Ensure the furniture is completely dry before storing it. Trapped moisture can lead to mold and wood deformation.
• Unlike other types of furniture, it is not recommended to cover teak furniture during the winter. Tarps can trap moisture, creating conditions conducive to mold and rot. Instead, leave the furniture uncovered in a dry area.
• When storing your teak furniture indoors, avoid placing it near direct heat sources like radiators, as rapid temperature changes can cause cracks in the wood.
