How do you maintain the structural integrity of natural rattan outdoor tree boxes in snowy climates?
Maintaining the structural integrity of natural rattan outdoor tree boxes in snowy climates requires careful attention to prevent damage from moisture and cold. Start by applying a waterproof sealant to the rattan before winter to protect it from snow and ice. Store the tree boxes in a sheltered area, such as a garage or covered patio, during heavy snowfall. If left outside, elevate them on feet to avoid direct contact with wet ground. Regularly brush off accumulated snow to prevent excess weight and moisture absorption. For added protection, use breathable covers to shield the rattan from harsh weather while allowing air circulation. These steps will help preserve the beauty and durability of your rattan tree boxes year-round.
