Enjoy your outdoor space all year round with Patio Warehouse.

A trusted name in outdoor furniture, Patio Warehouse prides itself on its extensive range of outdoor furniture, from sun loungers to al-fresco dining sets.

In fact, the company has the largest selection of patio furniture in Africa.

But, as the company notes: “Not only will you get the most sought-after outdoor pieces of the highest quality at the best prices, but you’ll also find the widest variety of outdoor furniture, from lounge sets, dining sets to gas barbecues, patio furniture, cushions, umbrellas, pots and plants” at their stores nationwide.

Of course, with so many beautiful items on offer, it is a shame to only use them during the summer months.

Luckily, with Patio Warehouse, you can utilise your outdoor areas all year round. Here, the company share some clever tips on how to do just that for 365-day-a-year enjoyment of their products.

Light it up

Whether rain or shine, outdoor lighting is a must-have to make your space functional. In the winter, the lights will brighten up the dark days and in summer, they can provide the perfect mood lighting for sunset drinks.

Choose durable outdoor furniture for year-round comfort

No matter the weather, you want to be comfortable outside, so be sure to choose seating that is durable, weather-resistant and plush.

Weatherproof, waterproof and rot-resistant, wood is an excellent choice for outdoor lounge sets.

A great option is the Jindar sofa set: it is made from high-quality eucalyptus wood and finished off with comfortable Olefin fabric cushions with removable covers.

Add layers of warmth

Whilst you won’t need much to be cosy outside during the summer, lovely throws are a great option for when the weather turns cooler.

An outdoor rug, scatter cushions and a small fire pit or outdoor heater can also make your outdoor area a whole lot cosier.

Add overhead cover

A beautiful pergola that can offer overhead protection is a great investment if you want to use your outdoor space year-round.

“Our unique Hammond pergola not only adds elegance and ambience to your outdoor living space but it also helps you enjoy outdoor tranquillity in all year round with the additional element of privacy, weather protection and shade,” explains the team. “It is designed with an aluminium structure and louvres. Plus, the Hammond drop screens serve as an excellent, convenient add-on to the Hammond pergola. They are a practical, lasting and aesthetic system that provides a wall of shade around your pergola when lowered. They open and close by manual operation without any hassle.”

Opt for an all-season outdoor kitchen

An outdoor cooking and dining area is a great way to get more use from your outdoor space all year round. Think barbecue, kettle braai or outdoor pizza oven.
