Read on to learn 3 tips to prepare your patio for summer entertaining including:
- De-clutter and clean your patio
- Inspect your patio and repair any damages
- Set up furniture and entertaining essentials under your patio
De-clutter and Clean Your Patio
All areas of our home are prone to accumulating unneeded items. Spring cleaning is a perfect reason to de-clutter any unwanted items from your patio. Dispose of rubbish and recycle items.
A thorough clean of your patio will have it ready for entertaining in no time. Depending on the type of flooring, sweep debris and the wash the grounds surface. Wipe surfaces and remove cobwebs including those hiding in those hard to reach places such as cornices too.
Inspect Your Patio and Repair any Damages
Regular inspections and repairs of your patio are recommended to ensure the safety of you and your family and friends. Winter brings fierce winds and heavy rain which can cause damage to structure and fittings. Remember to also inspect items that haven’t been used during the winter months such as a barbeque, patio blinds and any furniture under your patio.
When it comes to repairs, if you don’t have the experience or equipment to do it yourself, it is best to leave them to a professional. What may seem like a minor repair could become more extensive damage if not repaired correctly and it may not be safe for you to attempt repairs on your own.
Set up Furniture and Entertaining Essentials Under Your Patio
Bring out furniture and other entertaining essentials that were stored away over winter. Barbeque, eskies, extra seating plus have other items on hand such as cutlery, crockery, cups and bins. It is important your patio area flows with the connecting door from your home. You may even considering changing the layout of furniture under your patio to create a sense of space or better flow from indoors to outdoors.
