Time is a cruel taskmaster. No matter how good your furniture is, it is going to bite the dust with chipping paint and sagging cushions. And when it comes to outdoor furniture, it is almost as if time has accelerated its speed. Well, you can’t put skid brakes on a ticking clock. But you can beat it at its own game by giving your outdoor furniture an upgrade.
If you are frowning as you look at your garden furniture, maybe it does need an upgrade! So, which red flags should you be looking at? Let’s check them out.
One: Tarnished Paint
Outdoor furniture is exposed to a variety of natural elements. Harsh sunlight expands, and the cold weather contracts your furniture. Your paint doesn’t stand a chance with these contrasting adversaries. Is it any wonder that your paint chips and cracks?
So, what to do?
Two: Mildew Deposits

Outdoor furniture and the monsoons are not the best bedmates. The damp seeps into the wood and cane and encourages the growth of mildew. And with so many areas at its disposal, mildew never had it so good. Before you know it, your chairs are veritable gardens of white and gray growth.
So, what to do?
Three: Stained, Unsightly Furniture
Bird droppings can mar the appearance of your furniture. But hey, a bird’s got to do what it’s got to do. A deep clean should tackle most poop and dirt stains, depending on the material.
So, what to do?
Four: Lumpy Cushions
Upholstery weakens over time, and you are left with unsightly lumpy cushions that lack comfort. Flat cushions are an indication that the fibers are breaking down due to overuse. Faded upholstery is a downer too.
So, what to do?
There is no way to repair a limp cushion. Or faded upholstery, for that matter. Rather than trying to flog a dead horse, get new upholstery for your furniture.
Five: Creaking Furniture
When your furniture joins in the conversation with squeaks and creaks, you cringe with mortification, especially when you are entertaining. If your furniture is made of wood, it may have wood rot and be beyond repair.
So, what to do?
Six: Just Because
When you get the makeover itch, the only thing you can do is scratch it. And why try to justify the makeover? Do it because you feel like it.
So, what to do?
