The forecast for the next week in the Pacific Northwest is what we live for. It’s why we endure month’s for grey skies and rain. Sunny days in the Evergreen State (Washington) are the prettiest I’ve seen. These first few days of sunshine for the season are never left to waste. We’ve got a long list of outdoor chores to keep us busy so that we can enjoy our yard, have barbecues and just PLAY. Unfortunately, winter and fall weather tend to do a number on outdoor furniture but there are ways we can protect it and keep it beautiful for years of use. Afterall, furniture isn’t disposable! Protect your investment with Guardsman’s new line of weather defense products for outdoor furniture. Whether it’s wood, metal, wicker or fabric, there’s a product designed to keep it in good shape season to season and extend it’s life.
Rain, wind, and kids/pets can easily destroy outdoor furniture. We want to keep that from happening! We don’t want to see rusted metal, damaged wood and fabric or mold & mildew growth from rain and moisture. Did you know that pollutants in the environment can corrode metal finishes and leave a film on surfaces? Yuck! Guardsman products can even help protect from everyday wear like grass, mud and food/beverage stains. They’re easy to use and now is the time to do it!
If your furniture isn’t new, you might have to take a few steps to prep it. Scrub it, clean it, pressure wash it — do you what you need to get it looking good. For rusty spots that might mean sanding it down and touching up the paint. Once you’ve got your furniture in good shape, don’t waste all your hard work — protect it with Weather Defense to keep it in top shape!
There are 3 products to choose from. Let’s take a look at them:
- Guardsman Weather Defense Fabric Protector — This one is designed for all natural and synthetic fabric textiles like umbrellas, cushions, pillows, canvas chairs, hammocks and other outdoor furniture fabrics. It is also effective for protecting plastic, resin and vinyl furniture. The formula forms an invisible barrier against mold, mildew and fungus while repelling moisture without affecting the appearance or breathablity of the fabrics. It also helps repel common stains to make cleaning easier. A 10 oz aerosol can retails for around $12.
- Guardsman Weather Defense Wood Protector — This product can be used on finished or un-treated wood including cedar, teak, rattan, wicker and other common woods to enhance their natural look and to help repel moisture. Like the other products, it also forms an invisible barrier against mold, mildew, fungus and common stains. A 10 oz aerosol can retails for around $12.
- Guardsman Weather Defense Metal Protector — This product is for wrought iron, steel, aluminum and other metals to inhibit rust and corrosion. It also helps prevent discoloration and forms that invisible coating to resist mold, mildew and fungus. A 10 oz aerosol can retails for around $12.
All 3 of these products are very simple to use. Just spray wood, fabric and metal to protect those surfaces all season long.
