Two part question -- do you keep your furniture stored outside with the covers all year? and if you do how are the covers holding up now?

I leave most of my patio furniture outside during the winter with Patio Armor covers on them and they weather extremely well.

We just purchased these a couple of months ago and haven't used them outside yet -- sorry!

We put the covers on our new furniture last November and left all covered furniture outside through winter (rain, snow, wind...). I am pleased to say that the covers and our furniture both still look like NEW. I needed to do some dusting of the furniture but everything held up superbly!

I do keep them outside all year. This past winter was particularly bad, and the covers are holding up quite well and the furniture is well protected. There is some fading of the color of the dark green cover; other than that minor cosmetic issue, no complaints.

I keep the furniture out all year. The covers stood up well through a very cold and snowy winter here. They are folded and put away for next winter.

yes I keep my furniture out side all year and we had such a bad winter but my furniture still looks great. and yes so far they still look new.

I keep them outside for entire year. I live in Minneapolis area so we had a pretty rough winter and they look pretty good. They could use a power washing but have no signs of break down. I recommend.

I cover my chairs for the winter. They have gone through one winter. They have held up really well.

I live in Minnesota and here's my suggested protocol for winter storage. Take off the canopy and store it, the 4 canopy support rods, and the head pillow in your garage. That's it. I leave my swing outside, uncovered, all winter. I've never covered it, and the snow and cold haven't created any issues. However, I learned the hard way. The first year I left the canopy on (against instructions) and the weight of the snow caused two of the canopy support rods to splinter. I ordered two replacement rods and they were supplied quickly by Sunset Swings. Hope this answers your question.

This is my second year and it's in the same shape as when I put it up. I did stain mine when I put it up originally and since I didn't like the color, I also just sprayed over the outside with black paint which made it look like burned wood so I assume that helps preserve the wood but so far, it's fine. I just left it out in the elements all winter filled with soil.

Yes, we have kept outdoor for several months now and they look like new. We use outdoor furniture covers for all out outdoor furnitures when it rains, so we also put these under our table cover. They have got some rain once in a while though.

I second Bonnie's answer; we have kept ours outside in NY as well (during Summer, Fall and now Winter) and it is holding up very well.

I keep mine outside as well, much to my dismay, and that of my friends. The bike is stored in MA under this cover (and I've had a few other of this same basic cover for most of the last ten+ years. My bike still looks brand new, despite being a 1994 VFR750. Is it as good as a garage? No. But it does a great job at its intended purpose. When I wear this one out (just bought this new one last fall), I'll buy another.

We left ours out all summer through some fairly bad storms. They held up very well. We did store them for winter.

I only purchased these two months ago but they have been outside ever since. We did recently start to keep them under a tarp. I just want to keep them as long as possible. As with any wood product, they will weather over time. Keeping them covered just protects them a bit and helps keep their color. Also keep in mind I live in south central Texas where it is hot and humid with lots of sun and little rain. Bottom line, we have really enjoyed them for the past two months but it is too early to speak to the longevity of them outside.

I have the tables with the frames. In MN they have sat outside all year long (including winter) for 3 years now. No issues. Plus, I have one in the Caribbean - outside in the salt air. No issue there either. I just wish the company would ship to the Virgin Islands, and provide cushion replacements and options for fabric.

Mine are outside, but on a covered porch. I've had them for 1 summer and they have held up well, but have not been directly in the sun or weather. The front seems to be a sturdy outdoor fabric, but the back is a softer fabric so may not fare well in harsh conditions.

We've used ours for about a year now. None really. The only maintenance was dusting the outside. Recommend using the covers when not in use to minimize dust from getting inside.

I live near the coast of NJ and have had the chairs for several years now. I keep them outside and covered from End of Oct thru Mar/Apr. I have never had a problem.

I'm using mine outdoors on my patio's storage closet. My patio is covered but I'm sure it still sees some weather. I haven't noticed any trouble with mine in the last 4-5 months since I purchased and have been using it.

I have had two of them for about a year and they have been on my deck all the time. I live in Minnesota where we have very severe winters. I purchased some covers for them during the off-season and when I took them off this spring, they were in great condition. They appear to be well made, durable and so far so good:)

My furniture will most likely stay outside as well and we plan to protect it from the elements. Next year we plan to put a sealant on it.
