You only need to step outside to realise that summer is well and truly over. The mornings are chilly, our electric blankets are plugged in, we’ve swapped our iced coffees for pumpkin-spiced lattes, and our summer blooms are no longer. So, now is the perfect time to prepare your patio for winter.
Of course, when you’ve put your money, sweat, and sometimes literal tears into bringing your patio idea to life, winter can be a real killjoy. Although the brave amongst you can still use it as your outdoor kitchen or the home of the best winter plants for pots, the likelihood is that you’ll shut up shop and close the doors on your patio for the cold and wet months. You can’t do that on a whim, though.
