What care does the beach chair need?
- Impregnate wood regularly
- cover when wet
- hibernate protected
- Clean pillows and covers
The framework of the beach chair is usually made of wood. The wood is severely attacked by rain and sun. As a result, there is a risk that it will become brittle and tear under load. The color fades from the sun.
Therefore, the most important care of the beach chair is the impregnation of the frame. There are tools available commercially for this. You should use these regularly according to the directions on the packaging.
Cover the beach chair when it is wet
Even if an impregnated beach chair can cope well with moisture, you can significantly increase its durability by covering it with a protective tarpaulin. If you are sure that you will not be using the beach chair for a long time, you should always put the cover on - but only when the basket is completely dry. Otherwise mold may form.
Overwinter the beach chair properly
If you don't have space in the garage or basement to overwinter the beach chair there, move it to a sheltered corner in the garden and protect it with a cover. You should brush off dirt particles beforehand.
So that the beach chair does not get wet from below, place it on wooden planks, a pallet or bricks.
On dry days, you should take off the cover for a while so that the beach chair can air out and not have an unpleasant smell later on.
Clean pillows and covers
When buying, make sure that the fabrics used for the cushions and covers are impregnated. You can then simply wash out small stains with a little water and soapy water. Incidentally, fabrics can also be impregnated later.
It is also good if the cushion covers have a zipper. This makes them easy to remove and machine wash at low temperatures.
tips
A beach chair can be integrated into almost any garden. Beach chairs made of wood, in particular, go well with any style if cushions and covers are kept in muted colors.
