Outdoor cushions

That’s the problem with outdoor furniture, storage for the Winter or wet weather, I’m eagerly awaiting responses to your OP as I have to put ours in the garage every evening and it’s not ideal, especially as I often forget and they don’t look so special after a winter amongst DHs paint pots and axle grease!

Can you get rid of the steamer ones if you don't use them? These bigger cushions are difficult to store. DD1 has them and they take up a lot of space in her utility room cupboard. In her area there have been thefts of garden furniture some the day following delivery so if you have a gate put a lock on it. The cushions are very comfortable though and they have used them a lot throughout lockdowns.

We pile ours on top of the outside (well in the garage) fridge and freezer - that's if we remember to take them in.

I’ve just (?) thought I could ask him to sell the steamers. He likes to get a bit of cash. He bought them second hand and did them up so he’d get more for them. But, it wouldn’t free up enough space for these new ones ?

Years of stacking cushions from round our pool and from swing seats taught me not to pile them horizontally on top of each other. They can go sweaty or even mouldy. I line them up like soldiers with room for air to circulate in a dry garage, not in the boxes.
Good luck.

I have three plastic Keter boxes but I'd not store sucions in them as they all let in some rain . Thet are quite useful for plastic ware, and decorating supplies if |I cover such things with plastic basins. I think cushions would get musty.

I keep cushions in my open fronted gazebo from one year to the next, thoughout the winter. I had split bampoo screening put round the sides, and the rare showers that actually get inside the gazebo don't matter much as the place is so airy that the cushions dry very readily and have never become musty. The colours fade, but I rather like faded chintz.

Thanks all. Garage would be perfect if it wasn’t full of half built cars and associated other rubbish accumulated by OH. I think I need to reclaim my summerhouse which has been appropriated for large mowers and shredders etc. Great tip re the horizontal stacking though! Thanks.

We have a giant holdall made from the same stuff that the BBQ and table cover is made from. It sits in the garage until the cushions are needed and folds up when they're in use. Bought it from the large river company.

I could make one of those and sling it across the roof of the summerhouse/shed. Good plan ?

Some great ideas here.

Same problem here ,I seem to have so many outdoor cushions. I have thought about a storage box but am afraid the rain would get in , so they are thrown behind the sofa in the sitting room we don’t use , and dragged out to the garden when the sun shines !! ?

Put them in the cars Polarbear2.

Put your foot down and tell OH he can use the garage or the summerhouse not both .
