How can I ensure the longevity of my outdoor furniture investment?

Ensure longevity by using protective covers, performing regular cleaning and maintenance, and reapplying protective finishes as needed. Store furniture indoors or in sheltered areas during extreme weather, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Follow manufacturer guidelines for specific care instructions and consider the climate conditions when selecting furniture materials. Regular inspections and prompt treatment of any damage or pest infestations also help maintain the furniture’s condition.
