Winter storms can have drastic and dire consequences on Brits’ gardens. A new poll from Ronseal found that almost half (46 per cent) of Brits neglect to put their garden furniture away resulting in the same amount noticing damage to their garden after a storm or heavy rain.

When asked where the damage hit the specific areas in the garden the most, over four in 10 (42 per cent) admitted their fences suffered the most. And with rain spells and showers predicted to take over the UK, Ronseal’s DIY expert and senior brand manager Jimmy Englezos has revealed how Brits can protect their garden furniture, fences and decking against the weather elements and how to prepare for the next bout of rain or storm.

He says: “As time-consuming as taking furniture in and out of storage like sheds can be, it’s necessary to keep it safe from high winds and rains. Although some garden furniture can withstand extreme weather, it can be worse for wear when left out, so it’s always best to pop it away before a big storm.

“Rain can affect furniture in different ways depending on the material. Metal garden furniture is prone to rust and corrosion which results in a discoloured, flaky, orange-brown appearance. Corrosion can also cause it to look blue or green. Some signs of water damage in wooden furniture are discolouration, mould growth, warped and a damp, musty smell.”

Chris Davies, Director of Crisis Response and Community Resilience at the British Red Cross, said: “As British Red Cross teams wait on standby to support communities across the UK, we are advising people to be as prepared as they can be.

“While many can cope when there are power losses, floods and storms, others, including those who are living alone or who are isolated, seriously unwell or living with dementia, will need extra support.

“As volatile weather becomes more common, we must up our game.

“We need to think about a whole host of practical things like how to ensure an older person isn’t stuck halfway upstairs on a stair lift if the electricity goes down; or what to do if an older person dependent on a particular drug is unable to get hold of it if local shops are cut off or flooded.

“The nightmare scenario is that an older person is left marooned upstairs at home and forgotten during a bad storm or flood: the emergency services do a fantastic job and communities often rally round magnificently too, but we can’t leave these things to chance. We need to prepare.

“We also advise any older person at risk from heavy rain or storms and their families to think about how they can plan for an emergency, just in case; to make sure that home insurance is up to date and to let friends and family know how best they can get in touch if there is an emergency – particularly if you don’t currently use a mobile phone.
