As winter approaches you should consider protecting your garden furniture from the destructive winter elements.

If you leave your garden furniture exposed in the garden during winter it will rot and get damaged.

Even if your tables and chairs are stored safely in the garden shed, there are some simple protective measures you should take.

These precautions and tips will help ensure your furniture is fit for use next summer:

• Cover your furniture – garden furniture covers come in all shapes and sizes, so you should be able to find a cover to fit all furniture items.

• Find a cover that fits – rather than covering all your furniture with one large tarpaulin, get a bespoke cover to fit individual items of garden furniture.

Charge your mobile phone with your wellies, using heat from your feet. These prototype thermoelectric wellies have been unveiled by Orange, as a way for festival goers and farmers to keep in touch with friends and family.

The Orange Power Wellies were created in conjunction with renewable energy experts at GotWind. They work by using a ‘power generating sole’ inside the welly that transforms the heat from your feet into electrical current.

Twelve hours of walking in wellies will generate enough charge to keep your mobile phone going for an hour.
