TIPS FOR WINTERIZING EXTERIOR LIVING AREAS
There may be additional, region-specifi c steps to winterize a property, but these pointers are a good
starting point to protect outdoor spaces.
When the summer entertaining
season draws to a close,
homeowners need to ensure
their outdoor living areas can handle
weather that's right around the corner.
Although outdoor furniture and other
items tend to be durable, the impact
snow, wind and ice can have on them
may lead to damage over time. That is
why many homeowners take steps to
winterize their outdoor spaces and protect
their belongings. Here's a look at
how to prepare for the winter to come.
• Furniture: Cover or store furniture
to protect it from the elements. Covering
it with weather-proof covers can be
adequate if storing items indoors is not
possible.
• Deep clean: Items that will be covered
or stored should be thoroughly
cleaned prior to being removed from
spaces for the season. Lingering dirt
and moisture can cause damage.
• Insulate and drain: Don't risk damage
to pipes, which can freeze and
crack in the cold. Shut off the water
supply to exterior faucets and drain water
lines to prevent pipes from freezing
and bursting. Use foam pipe insulation
to prevent freezing and cover any exposed
pipes.
• Apply mulch: After cleaning up garden
debris, think about applying mulch
to garden beds and cover tender plants
to protect them from the weather.
• Check gutters: Be sure that gutters
and downspouts are clear of leaves and
any additional debris. If gutters and
downspouts are not cleaned, ice dams
may form on the roof and cause water
damage.
• Inspect and repair: Inspect walkways
and driveways for any damage
and make repairs now so water will not
seep in and cause further issues with
freeze-thaw cycles. Consider applying
a sealant to protect surfaces from snow
and ice.
• Pools and spas: It's essential to follow
the industry or manufacturer recommendations
for closing down swimming
pools and spas for the season.
While covers may not be essential in
all climates, covering can help prevent
leaves and other debris from getting
in the water. Water should be expelled
from pipes and tubing to prevent freezing
and bursting. If space allows, consider
moving the pool pump indoors
to prolong its longevity. Turn off the
electricity to the outlet where the fi lter
is plugged in.
