How to protect your patio and outdoor structures during winter

Terraces, balconies and outdoor structures experience significant temperature variations in winter.

Good protection helps to prolong their lifespan and prevent the accumulation of snow and moisture.

Here's how to protect your outdoor structures during the winter:

Applying appropriate protection — oils, stains or sealants reduce the wood's water absorption.
Remove leaves and debris — they retain moisture and accelerate decomposition.
Avoid excessive snow accumulation — especially on balconies and pergolas to limit the load.
Check anchors and supports — freezing and thawing amplify structural movements.
Protecting furniture and accessories — covers, indoor storage or shelters prolong their lifespan.

A well-protected terrace is more resistant to bad weather and requires much less maintenance in the spring.
