6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and appearance of your Oviala Palavas garden table.

  • Winter Storage: During prolonged periods of non-use or harsh winter conditions, it is recommended to cover the table with a protective outdoor furniture cover or store it in a dry, sheltered area.
  • Leg Caps: Ensure the protective caps on the table legs remain intact to prevent scratching floors and to protect the leg ends from moisture.
