Safe handling of fire in the garden area
A relaxing evening in the garden lounge can quickly be spoiled by a careless mishap, especially if there are open fires, cigarettes or fireworks nearby. These elements carry the risk of causing burn holes in the high-quality upholstery of your garden furniture. To preserve the longevity and beauty of your garden lounge, caution is advised. Here are some preventative measures you can take to avoid burn holes and give your garden lounge the best possible protection:
- Keep your distance: Make sure that any sources of open fire, such as candles, fire bowls or barbecues, are a safe distance away from your garden furniture. A sufficient distance prevents flying sparks that could damage the upholstery.
- Use an ashtray: For smokers, it is advisable to always use an ashtray. This prevents embers from falling onto the upholstery and causing burn holes. Provide ashtrays in accessible places to make them easier to use.
- Choose fireworks carefully: Special care should be taken when setting off fireworks. Always light fireworks at a safe distance from your garden lounge to avoid flying sparks. Make sure that the direction in which the fireworks are set off points away from your furniture.
- Use protective covers: Invest in high-quality protective covers for your garden furniture. These covers are not only useful for protecting the furniture from the elements, but also offer a degree of protection against flying sparks and hot ash.
- Pay attention and act quickly: If you do notice sparks on your upholstery, act quickly to prevent them from catching fire. A bucket of water or a fire extinguisher nearby can be of great help here.
By following these tips, you can enjoy your garden lounge without worrying about burn holes. A conscious approach to fire and heat sources will ensure that your garden furniture remains an inviting place to relax and socialize with family and friends.
