Outdoor furniture question?

Hilary M asked:
I’m looking for outdoor furniture for the patio and have found a set that I really like and is reasonably priced. It is made of kiln-dried hardwood, not teak, so I am wondering how bad it is to leave some of it outdoors over the winter. We live in CT so winters can be bad here. While I will probably be able to store some of it indoors, I’m just not sure if we have room to move everything indoors for the winter. I would obviously cover everything with furniture covers if left outdoors, but it would likely sit in some snow at some point. Will it be destroyed? I’m going to look for other options if you all think it’s a bad idea. Thanks in advance for your advice!
I would take it inside as I know that would extend the life of it, unfortunately, that just isn’t an option for me…we just don’t have room for it. We are trying to build a shed for some of it but the town is giving us grief…that’s a whole other story though…so I’m not counting on that as a storage space as of now.
