You have probably spent a considerable amount of time and money investing in your beautiful outdoor garden furniture and you want to insure that it will last for years to come; investing in garden furniture covers is the best way to proctect your furniture. These covers have become popular not only for use in the winter months, but all year long as they have become easier to use. Most people consider furniture covers the first season they are faced with deciding on how to store their investment. A proper approach will provide you with the same beautiful furniture next spring. There are several factors to consider when deciding to store your furniture for the winter months as opposed to using garden furniture covers:
• Available indoor space to store your furniture
• Weight of the furniture
• Manufacturer’s recommendations
If you are like most people, the thought of moving your garden furniture indoors is a nightmare! Besides the fact that it is heavy and awkward to move, it also takes up a considerable amount of critical storage space within your home or garage. Prior to investing in covers, it is recommended that you review the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper storage. Items made of concrete are usually not recommended for outdoor storage if you live in a climate that experiences freeze conditions as this may cause the concrete to crack. Most items made of wood or polywood and most plastics will weather the winter months quite well.
Considerations for Year Round Use
Over the years the quality of furniture covers has greatly improved and people are now using the covers all year long. Consider using protective covers all year for the following reasons:
• Protect your furniture from trees that drop seasonal berries or from the staining of leaves in the fall season.
• Bird droppings
• Prevent the green and yellow residue of created by pollen
• Items that are in direct sunlight all day long can begin to dry and fade in color
Not All Covers Are Created Equal
Purchasing outdoor furniture covers is an investment in your furniture and you will want to buy covers that will provide you with many seasons of use. Furniture covers that are not made of high quality materials can be almost as bad for the furniture as not covering them at all! When purchasing make sure that the covers have the following:
• One year manufacturers warranty – anything less should be a red flag as to their quality of construction!
• The material should be water-proof. This will protect the furniture from moisture that can lead to mold growing on the furniture.
• Fade Resistance should be built into the material. This protection will prevent your furniture from drying out and fading.
• Vents should be built into the cover to allow air circulation through the cover to prevent mold and mildew growth.
• Elastic and or draw cord strings should be present around the bottom of the furniture to allow for easy removal and to prevent the covers from blowing off
• Choose a cover that is made of top quality PVC backed polyester material.
• Read online reviews of others who have purchased this product
Prepare Your Furniture Properly Prior to Storage
As you begin to plan for the storage of your furniture for the off-season months it is important to inspect the items for any damaged hardware or rusted pieces. These should be repaired prior to storage. In addition, any rotted wood should be taken care of as well as mold and mildew. Prior to storing the furniture it should be washed with a mild detergent and water to remove any stains and dirt that has accumulated over the course of time. The most important part of storing your furniture is to make sure that it is completely dry. Storing furniture that may still be wet can cause mold, mildew and rust to form over the winter months.
You have invested a lot of time and money into your outdoor garden furniture that has given you many months of enjoyment. If you value your investment and want to keep it for years, purchase a set of quality garden furniture covers today to extend the life of your furniture.

Christmas is just around the corner, and gift-buying season beckons (that
is, if it hasn't already started in earnest in your locality yet)! So start
thinking and looking for gifts now, or else you'll end up doing 11th-hour
Christmas shopping, just when prices have already gone up!Thinking of buying
shoes as gifts for Christmas? Sheepskin boots would make for an ideal gift at
this time of the year, because of the ice-cool temperatures brought about by
winter. And if you and me are on the same "wavelength", what better sheepskin
boots to give than a pair of genuine, honest-to-goodness "UGG Australia"
sheepskin boots, right? As they say, "give nothing but the best!" But the
problem is, where should you look for authentic "UGG Australia" sheepskin boots?
Sure, you might say that 'there are actually lots of stores in my area selling
authentic "UGG Australia" sheepskin boots, but are you sure that they are,
indeed, authentic "UGG Australia" sheepskin boots? And are you even remotely
aware of the "controversy" or""dispute" between Australian bootmakers and the
American company that makes the authentic "UGG Australia" sheepskin boots? If
you are not aware of this so-called "controversy or "dispute", then check out
the Wikipedia article about UGG Boots.Now that you have spent some time
educating yourself about the American and Australian "interpretation" of the
word "UGGs" and the background behind the "UGG Australia" controversy, let's
move forward as I show you the ways by which you can distinguish a pair of
genuine "UGG Australia" sheepskin boots from fake ones. Let me begin, however,
by saying that all of my "hints", "pointers", notes and remarks that follow are
applicable ONLY to "UGG Australia" boots found in an "actual" store and not a
"virtual" one (such as those "online" stores and/or "retailers"), okey? For
purposes of conciseness or brevity, I"ll talk about spotting fake UGGs among
"virtual" or "online" stores in another discussion.Let's start the ball rolling
by talking about the PRICE. Genuine "UGG Australia" sheepskin boots are quite
expensive. I won't mention any figures, because prices vary and change from time
to time. But here's what I sUGGest you can do to "root out" obvious fakes: if
there are several stores offering UGGs in your area, check out each and
everyone's prices. If they"re all bunched together within a small range, that
means 1.) Either they are all selling genuine UGGs, which is good; or 2.) They
are all selling fakes, which is too bad. My point is, if one store offers a
price that is significantly much, much lower than the others, then, in any
language, that's a giveaway that that store is selling fake UGGs.Now, suppose
they all indeed sell UGGs in a tightly-bunched price range. What should you do
next? Check out their LOOKS. Here are several visible 'telltale signs" that give
away fakes: If one or all of a particular boot's labels (both outside and
inside) show "Made in Australia" or "Made in New Zealand", then those definitely
are fakes. Because Deckers has been manufacturing them in China for quite some
time now. If the quality of the stitching is very bad, then it's a fake. Of
course, it might be difficult to distinguish "very bad" from "bad" and from
"good", but if it is obviously very bad, then the boots are fakes. Look at the
store's black-colored UGGs. Geniune black-colored UGGs have black-colored soles
and black labels with the "UGG" logo in white, whereas fake "black" UGGs have
tan-colored soles and brown (or non-black) labels. Ask for the "Nightfall"
model. If the "Nightfall" presented to you is any other color but Chestnut, it
is a fake. Deckers only makes "Nightfall" in Chestnut. Ask for a "Sundance"
model. If you see a "Sundance" in any other color but Chestnut Sand or
Chocolate, it is a fake. Deckers has stopped making it in Black. There may be
old stock around, but anyone selling large amounts of them is probably selling
fakes. While still on the subject of boot color, take note that there are no
"camel"-colored UGGgs. So if someone offers you one, bingo! In a genuine UGG,
the sheepskin fur around the boot matches the colour of the boot but the
sheepskin fur at the bottom of the boot, where your foot sits, is always natural
(or "cream") in color. The sole of a genuine UGG is about a half-inch or more,
while the soles of fakes are very thin, like maybe ?-inch. Now try looking at
the "size" label of their women's and kid's UGGs, if they have any. All the
Euro, UK, and US sizes are shown on a kid's UGG, whereas the women's UGG only
shows the US size on it. If a blue card or a brown "leather" pinned-on tag (some
of these might say "Made by CGM Co. Ltd."), or a dust bag in a light brown or
beige colour saying "UGG" or sometimes "Snow Boots" goes with the pair of UGGs,
then it's a fake. Most "innocent" purchasers are fooled by this seeming
"attention to detail" or "extra touches". The truth is that no pair of genuine
"UGG Australia" boot has a pinned-on label (or with "sample fur" attached) or
comes with a dust/protection bag or shopping bag! If you happen to bring with
you (or wear) a pair of genuine UGGs, or one of your companions brought with him
his genuine UGGs, try to compare your genuine UGGs with a fake side-by-side; a
fake one that is the same "model" as your genuine UGGs either will be taller or
shorter than yours. Also, while still on the subject of side-by-side comparison,
the "UGG" label on the rear of the boots is higher up on a fake and the
lettering is different from the genuine UGG. The letters may have gaps between
them in the fake, while in the real, they are overlapping. Lastly, the word
"australia" on the "UGG Australia" logo is in a bolder font on the fake than on
a genuine UGG.Now, suppose that the counterfeiters have exceedingly gotten
better, and, so far, the UGGs you are looking at have passed all the "visual"
tests above. There are yet some more 'tests" that you can do to "root out" the
fakes. For instance, try this FIT TEST: If you know your boot size, try asking
for a pair of UGGs whose size is higher up by one "notch" than your size, then
try wearing them. If they are genuine UGGs, they should fit snugly, or they
should even be a little loose-fitting. Fake UGGs, on the other hand, are
notoriously ill-fitting!Want more 'tests"? Try these simple FUR TESTS: Look at
the boot's interior fur. Genuine UGG fur are fluffy-looking and thick, and they
should have a rich cream color. Fake UGG fur, on the other hand, are synthetic
and are thin- and delicate-looking, and they are "greyish" or "white", instead
of being cream-colored. Now "feel" the fur with your hands. They should "feel"
very soft. Next, try rubbing your fingers against them. You could tell the fakes
because bits of them would "come off" or "come away" even with just a slight
"rubbing." Lastly, smell the boot's interior and the fur. If there's even just a
slight paint or "lacquer" smell to them, then that's your indication that the
boots are fake. Genuine UGG fur don't have even just a slight hint of that
"lacquery" smell, because genuine fur doesn't have to be dyed to "pass" it off
as the "real thing".Let's try a "new" approach to these 'tests"; instead of
testing the boots, let's TEST THE SELLER. Here are some ways by which it can be
done: Strike up a conversation with the seller about UGGs and where they are
made. If he/she mentions that the genuine ones are made in Australia and/or New
Zealand, then he/she is selling fakes. Likewise, if the seller fails to mention
the Deckers Outdoor Corporation (or Deckers, Inc.) as the "parent" company, then
that's another sign that he/she is selling fakes. Try "feigning" a slight
disappointment with the "model" or boot size that was presented to you, like
perhaps it's just not what you want. If the seller says, "Take your time
choosing. I have lots of different "models" and sizes for you to choose from.",
then, chances are, he/she is selling fakes, because UGGs are, by the very nature
of their "raw" materials, scarce or in limited supplies. Anyone who has a
truckload of them at this time of the year is highly suspicious! Next, look
around the place and try mentioning a "model" that isn't there, asking him/her
if he can "order" it, how many days it will take, and from where does he/she get
it. If the seller mentions getting it directly from his supplier in China, then
he/she is selling fakes. While it is true that all of Deckers" UGGs are
manufactured in China, a seller/reseller doesn't get them directly from
China.That's it. I have already covered the bases here. By no means this is a
"comprehensive" list of 'tips" on discerning a genuine UGG from a fake one; in
fact, a fake UGG may pass all of the "visual" telltale signs which I mentioned
above (perhaps because the counterfeiters themselves have "wised up"), but, for
sure, a lot of fake UGGs fail the "FIT TEST" and the "FUR TESTS" mentioned
above, while a lot of their sellers fail the 'tEST THE SELLER" tests. Australia
