Story summary

As summer ends, NBC News Top Stories advises readers to prepare their patios for winter by covering or storing outdoor furniture and equipment. The article highlights the importance of protecting items from rain, snow, freezing temperatures, which can cause damage like cracking, fading, and mildew. It suggests that end-of-season sales offer discounts on essential storage items such as deck boxes and furniture covers.

One recommended product is a deck box made from wood-look resin panels that are double-walled, weather-resistant, and fade-proof. This box includes soft-close lids, carrying handles, a lockable metal latch for security, and a steel-reinforced lid that can serve as seating.

Another key recommendation is a heavy-duty polyester cover with a PVC undercoating to shield outdoor dining sets from the elements without cracking in cold weather conditions.
