How often should you store your patio furniture?
Grumpty's answer
Every 12 months
Why bother
Left out, winter cracks frames and rots cushions. A thorough-tier job. Skippable when life's busy, worth it when it isn't.
Why it's a range
Stow before the first hard frost. Mild climates may only want a cover.
When to start thinking about it
A few days' warning does it. Grumpty grumbles 5 days out, then leaves you alone. Mark it done and Grumpty sets the next one, every 12 months, so you can go back to forgetting it exists.
Let Grumpty remember it for you
Add it once. Grumpty tracks the date, grumbles when it's due, and rolls it forward the moment you mark it done. No spreadsheets, no sticky notes, no forgetting.
