if you live in an area that gets cold temperatures during the winter, you will need to make sure you take the necessary precautions to protect your patio furniture. As the days begin to get shorter and the temperatures get cooler, it’s time to begin preparing for the winter months ahead. Even furniture that is treated or weather-resistant should be properly cared for and maintained. For best results, patio furniture should be stored in a secure, climate-controlled facility and here’s why.

You’ve packed and planned. Your family and friends have agreed to help you move on a certain date. You have to be out of your apartment or home by a certain date, and changing your move is not an option. Moving day arrives, and with it, comes inclement weather. So what do you do if all your moving reservations and help are set, but the forecast is less than perfect for your big move? The answer to that question will vary, depending on the nature of the weather, and the potential safety risks posed to you or the individuals helping you to move. Realistically, certain weather scenarios will pose less of a threat than others, and it is always wise to use caution first. For moves that unfortunately fall on rainy days, there is hope for you to still complete your move.
