Canadian winters are no joke! The freezing temperatures, snow, sleet, and even sneaky sunshine can wreak havoc on your patio setup. Leaving your furniture uncovered during the off-season is like leaving your barbecue uncovered during a monsoon—bad idea.
Give your beloved backyard patio furniture a little TLC before the snow takes over. While we can’t barbecue our way through every winter storm (although we wish we could), we can ensure our patio furniture survives to see another summer.
At Barbecues Galore, we pride ourselves on offering premium outdoor furniture from brands like C.R. Plastic Products, Berlin Gardens, and Mallin, which are built to withstand the elements. These high-quality pieces are less likely to fade, rust, or warp compared to other brands, thanks to their weather-resistant materials and superior craftsmanship. But even the best furniture deserves a little extra protection when faced with the freezing temperatures, snow, and ice of a Canadian winter.
Patio furniture covers, like those from Treasure Garden, are built to withstand the wildest winters. Designed with RHINOWeave™ technology, they’re water-resistant, breathable, and—wait for it—machine washable. Yep, these covers laugh in the face of sleet and bird droppings alike. You’ll find a variety of sizes at Barbecues Galore to suit your setup—whether you’ve got a lounge chair, sofa, or entire sectional, there’s a cover for that.
Why Patio Covers Are Still a Must
While our furniture is designed to withstand the elements, covers are your furniture’s first line of defense against the worst Canadian winter weather. High-quality covers prevent moisture from accumulating and protect against those rare but powerful mid-winter sunny days, which can cause fading even in the cold. Using covers ensures that your furniture stays looking brand new, year after year.
Treasure Garden Sectional Covers: Protect Your Investment with Ease
Sectionals are notoriously tricky to cover, and a lot of the time, you end up using a weird combination of sofa and chair covers that never fit quite right. But worry no more—Treasure Garden has you covered (literally) with their sectional covers designed to fit your unique setup perfectly.
These covers come with RHINOWeave™ technology that offers optimal protection, keeping those pesky sky-liquids (rain and snow) away from your furniture. And if your cover gets a little dirty? No worries, they’re machine washable. With reinforced zippers, these covers zip together easily and fit any configuration—no more awkward cover combinations. Trust us, they’ll look so sleek, that you might be tempted to leave them on all year. (But furniture is for sitting on, remember?)
How to Get the Most Out of Your Patio Covers
- Clean Before You Cover: Before you throw on that protective cover, make sure your furniture is clean and dry. A quick wipe-down prevents mold and mildew from forming under the cover during the long months ahead. Our Expert Advice – Try using Berlin Gardens Heavy Duty Xtreme Clean all-surface cleaner and degreaser before you cover up your patio furniture for the off-season.
- Tie It Down: A loose cover is an invitation for snow, wind, and moisture to sneak in. Look for covers with cinch-able elastics, like those on the Treasure Garden Lounge Chair Cover, for a snug fit that won’t flap in the winter wind.
- Invest in the Right Size: Covers that fit properly are key to ensuring maximum protection. At Barbecues Galore, we carry a wide range of sizes for all types of patio setups, from individual lounge chairs to full sectional sets.
