Protecting Your Project

You’ve put in the hours to complete your DIY garden furniture products. You’ve added the finishing touches with paint, varnish, casters, and even selected a parasol or two along with cushions to add that relaxing comfort to your garden furniture. What now? Well, even though your monetary investment is small, your time and creativity investment is great and you’ll want to protect your projects. You want to keep them safe from the elements—rain, sleet, snow, and sun—for years to come.

If you added casters, you could spend time moving your garden furniture in and out of the elements when you want to use them in the garden. A better idea is the use of protective covers. Protective furniture covers are designed to protect your garden furniture from the elements and come in varied shapes and sizes including bench covers and table covers in round, square, and rectangle sizes. Slip them on your outdoor furniture when it’s not in use and easily remove the covers when you are ready to enjoy your furniture in the garden.

Each of these projects delivers fun and creative ways to design your own stylish garden furniture by recycling and reusing common quality materials that are easily accessible. Let’s close out the fun with a few more amazing and distinctive ideas for DIY garden furniture.
