Prevent furniture weathering...

My deck furniture is made of bamboo, and if it were left out there in the elements with no protection it would weather and decay faster than it would using outdoor furniture covers. While I didn't spend that much on the furniture, it still makes sense to take just a bit of extra care to make sure it lasts as long as possible. Another great reason is if you have ever thought you were sitting down on something that was dry, only to discover the cushion was damp or wet? Covers prevent that...
