Beach chairs are no longer only found on the B altic and North Sea coasts. Decorative garden furniture has also found its way into home gardens. To ensure you can enjoy your beach chair for a long time and save yourself from repairs, you need to take good care of it. Tips for caring for beach chairs.
How do I properly care for my beach chair?
You can take care of a beach chair by regularly impregnating the wood, covering the basket when it is wet, keeping it protected over the winter and cleaning cushions and covers. This means your beach chair will last a long time and be beautiful to look at.
What care does the beach chair need?
- Impregnate wood regularly
- cover when wet
- overwinter protected
- Cleaning pillows and covers
The frame of the beach chair is usually made of wood. The wood is severely damaged by rain and sun. This poses a risk of it becoming brittle and tearing under stress. The color fades in the sun.
That's why the most important care for the beach chair is to impregnate the frame. There are appropriate means on the market for this. You should use these regularly according to the instructions on the packaging.
Cover beach chair when wet
Even if an impregnated beach chair can handle moisture well, you can significantly increase its durability by covering it with a protective tarpaulin. If you are sure that you will not be using the beach chair for a long time, you should always put the cover on - but only when the basket is completely dry. Otherwise, mold may form.
Winter the beach chair properly
If you don't have space in the garage or basement to overwinter the beach chair, move it to a sheltered corner in the garden and protect it with a cover. You should first brush off any dirt particles.
To prevent the beach chair from getting damp underneath, place it on wooden planks, a pallet or bricks.
On dry days, you should remove the cover for a while so that the beach chair can air out and not smell unpleasant later.
Cleaning pillows and covers
When purchasing, make sure that the fabrics used for the cushions and covers are impregnated. You can then simply wash out small stains with a little water and soapy water. By the way, fabrics can also be impregnated later.
It is also cheap if the cushion covers have a zipper. This means they can be easily removed and washed in the washing machine at low temperatures.
Tip
A beach chair can be integrated into almost any garden. Wooden beach chairs in particular suit any style if cushions and covers are in muted colors.
