Are these all season or is it advisable to store them away during the winter?

They appear to be all season. We live in Illinois and our winters are hard on everything - so we will store it. We love this bench and do not want to risk it being ruined.

We intend to leave our benches outside year around. I am very impressed with quality of the construction.

Mine is underneath a covered patio and occasionally I bring it out into the middle of the yard. I suggest you store it underneath an area out of the elements during the winter months if you want to keep it looking nice.

We haven't had it during the rainy season yet and it is in a covered area. That being said it is faux wood and that will be able to handle the weather. The other parts are metal and are coated. We are in California so I don't know how it would handle sitting in snow. We do move in all of our patio furniture at our cabin for the winter just because we don't like it sitting in the snow for periods of time.

I just found the following info on the Home Depot site1. Made from UV protected simulated wood that requires no annual maintenance2. Powder-coated steel frame provides a weather resistant finish

I'd say they're all season products. You might get a little bit of solarization on the "wood", but otherwise it will be no worse in summer than in winter.

I think there all season cause of the material, but it will be nice if u cover them.

They have to be removed and stored elsewhere. Storage has not been an issue since they are not very big or heavy so they are easy to store.

I'm not storing them outside, indoor as a matter of fact. Its been safe so far. Its the best answer I can give you.

No, not necessarily. They can be stored in airtight container until next use. They are very dry. I've had mine for months stored this way..

I keep mine refrigerated and have had no problem keeping them for several months.

Indefinitely as long as you store them in a safe place. You should keep them some place where they will not be exposetto temps above 80 degrees.

Yes I put a weeks worth in the fridge at a time so they are nice and cold. Just don't freeze them is the only storage caution.

Ulla, I have grown these in pots so I can bring them inside in the winter. I wouldn't keep them out when the temperatures are consistently below 45.

I live in Upstate NY with bad winters....I season them and wrap in plastic then stored them inside the grill outside... They were fine.

Yes...wait until April or May. Any earlier you would have to keep them in the refrigerator.

They are "wintering" and as soon as spring comes around they will go away. You MAY be able to coax them away with an outdoor heat source but other than that for what to do in the meantime is indeed a toughie. Good Luck. This for sure falls into the category of "too much of a good thing"

I keep them out until winter. Not sure how it would do in winter. They are easy to take off and put on.

If you have real winters put them inside in pots for the winter. They take months to root. Do not pull them out to check them. Do Not over water or they will rot. I have grown them for years. They are easy to keep. Kept inside and warm mine bloom all year.

I keep mine in the refrigerator. They should last a few months that way. They are delicious!

I am in Michigan and have them outside for the warm months-then store them inside the garage for winter. So far they are great

I would keep them out of extreme heat. I think they would be fine outdoors if not left in direct sunlight for an extended time.
