Outdoor Furniture Seasonal Storage Guide

Outdoor Furniture Seasonal Storage Guide

Use this guide to prepare outdoor furniture for seasonal storage and check it before bringing it back into use. It covers general cleaning, drying, hardware checks, removable parts, covering, storage, and handling. Product pages and the instructions supplied with your furniture provide its specific storage limits and removal or assembly details. Follow those directions; this guide does not replace them.

Plan for Storage

Choose a dry period with stable weather to prepare and move your furniture. Avoid handling or storing it during rain, snow, damp conditions, or strong winds. Allow enough room to inspect and clean each item, separate removable components when the product instructions permit it, and prepare a clean storage area before moving the furniture.

Check the product page or supplied instructions before removing any component. If removal is permitted, keep the parts together with their furniture. Sort the related hardware separately, place it in a suitable bag, and label it so it can be identified later. Keep the instructions with the stored item when practical. Do not remove components unless the product guidance allows it.

Clean and Dry Before Storing

Clean the furniture gently using a method suited to its materials, following the care guidance on the product page or in the supplied instructions. Check surfaces, seams, joints, and removable parts for moisture or debris. Let each component dry completely before covering or storing it. Putting furniture away while damp can leave moisture trapped around surfaces and connections.

Avoid harsh cleaning products and do not allow water to collect around wheels, slides, joints, or hardware. If you are unsure which cleaning method is appropriate for an item, refer to its product information before proceeding.

Check Connections and Hardware

Before storage, look over the frame, connections, hardware, and any wheels or slides included with the furniture. Check for looseness, visible damage, or unusual movement. If something feels loose, address it only as directed by the supplied instructions. If a component appears damaged or abnormal, stop using the item and contact gloqora before storing or using it again.

Keep removed hardware organized with the furniture so it does not get mixed with parts from other items. Avoid forcing a connection or making an adjustment that is not described in the product instructions.

Covering and Choosing a Storage Location

If you use a cover suitable for outdoor furniture, arrange it to allow ventilation. Avoid leaving furniture sealed for long periods in a way that traps dampness, or allowing water to collect on or around a cover. Check the covering and surrounding area as needed to make sure moisture is not building up.

Choose a clean, dry, well-ventilated storage location. Keep furniture away from standing water, prolonged dampness, heavy objects that could press on it, and sharp items that could contact or damage it. Arrange stored pieces so they remain stable and are not unnecessarily crowded.

Move and Handle with Care

Lift furniture when moving it instead of dragging it. Handle frames, tabletops, seats, and wheels carefully to avoid scraping or putting unnecessary strain on a component. Another person can assist with a larger or heavier item. Take care while carrying furniture through doorways or around other stored items, and set it down in a stable position.

Check Before the Next Season

Before using stored furniture again, inspect and clean it. Check its surfaces, connections, hardware, and any wheels or slides. Confirm that the furniture is dry and stable, and that components removed for storage have been handled according to the product instructions. If you notice damage, missing hardware, unusual movement, or instability, do not use the item until you have reviewed its instructions and contacted customer support if needed.

For assistance with a damaged item, an unusual connection, missing hardware, or another storage-related concern, contact gloqora. Include your order number, product information, and a clear description of the affected part or issue.
