Why You Don’t Need to Ditch Your Old Patio Furniture

Here in Phoenix, AZ, now that summer is over along with the monsoons, dust storms and triple-digit heat, you’re probably thinking about spending cooler days and evenings lounging on your patio or around the pool. But is your patio furniture ready as well?

If your patio furniture is just dirty, you can probably clean it yourself. You can find detailed instructions on how to do this here, but metal frames can be cleaned with mild soap and then rinsed with water and cushions can be washed in your washing machine or sponged clean if they’re not removable.

The fact is, heavy monsoon rains, humidity, dust, and debris can wreak havoc on even the most robust metal patio furniture causing:

• Rust
• Corrosion
• Broken parts
• Mould and Mildew
• Paint damage

If the Phoenix area is your winter home, returning to the Valley of the Sun to find damaged patio furniture can put a real damper on your vacation time. You might even be tempted to throw out all your old stuff and just buy all new furniture. But if you do that you’re missing out on huge savings that repairing your damaged patio furniture can give you. In fact, repairing your furniture can make even heirloom metal furniture look brand new.

So how exactly can your old, damaged patio furniture be brought back to life? While you can find some DIY techniques online for restoring and repairing metal patio furniture, those solutions are often short term because you just don’t have access to the same equipment and supplies that professionals do. Besides the purchase of new cushions and pillows, there’s just not much you can do at home.

The good news is that it’s convenient and easy to have your metal patio furniture repaired right here in Phoenix, AZ and it’s much more reasonable than buying new furniture. A professional can:

• Sandblast away rust and corrosion
• Weld broken parts back together
• Fabricate things like new feet for tables and chairs
• Powder coat patio furniture so it matches your home’s color scheme
• Make new cushions in more current fabrics

The important thing to remember is you don’t have to worry about losing your grandmother’s patio table or spend your hard earned money on all new patio furniture. It’s simple and easy to have most metal patio repaired and restored to like-new conditions.
