The changing seasons can bring many challenges and issues to your garden, and there’s no better time than now to prepare and ensure your garden can handle anything.
There are many things you could be doing before the darker nights draw in and the frosty breeze emerges. On top of pulling up weeds, tidying up your borders, clearing out compost bins, and ensuring all vulnerable plants are catered for, you can upgrade your fences or garden products to make sure you’re ready for everything nature has to offer.
Autumn and Winter are the times when the structure of your garden and any outdoor products are tested to see if they can handle the cold, damp and strong winds. Natural wooden products are susceptible to damage, and their integrity doesn’t handle well against harsh conditions.
Wood is also prone to water absorption, which, when combined with cold weather, leads to freezing, creating a hazardous, slippery surface. Even worse than that, water expands once it freezes, causing your wooden boards to crack and ultimately break.
Sure, you can do things to protect your wooden fences, tables, and chairs, but moving them inside is more challenging than it’s worth, and treating your products can cause harsh chemicals to leak and damage your grass or the soil underneath.
Charles & Ivy’s composite products are all you need to ensure your garden stays in top condition during this time of the year. Our fences, panels, and planters are 100% weatherproof and guaranteed to withstand routine exposure to the elements, including temperatures between -40°C to +50°C.
On top of that, our products are tough and hard-wearing, meaning they won’t corrode, rust or rot, or fade in the sunlight. Composite also doesn’t need to be painted, stained, or varnished, so you can remove the risk of causing any chemical damage to your outdoor space and say goodbye to the laborious, lengthy task of looking after your wooden fences. Just think of all that time you’ll be saving over the years!
Once the harsh weather has passed and the sun starts appearing, plenty of garden-lovers will swarm to the closest outdoor furniture store to upgrade their space before they start welcoming guests. This is your chance to get ahead of the game and begin your panic-free garden upgrade now.
Not only will you be beating the rush during the early months of 2023 and making sure you don’t miss out on the products you’ve been keeping your eye on, but you can also guarantee a well-protected and sturdy garden that will stand strong against the upcoming harsh conditions.
