More on reddit.comThose of you that have outdoor couches made of the plastic wicker, do you cover them for rain?
I bought ours two years ago and always covered the couch each night. But 1)it’s a pain and 2) the cover barely lasted two years before tearing. Apparently finding decent L shaped covers that last isn’t easy. Everything on Amazon seems to be garbage.
Ideally, I’d like to have the cushions inside and leave the plastic wicker exposed if it rains, but I’m concerned the lifetime of the couch will be cut significantly. I always store the couch inside for the winter, so this is primarily about sun and rain.
P.S. I did a coat of synthetic ceramic car wax on the wicker part for UV after reading this tip somewhere. Went on perfectly.
