Fall Prep Guide: Protect Your Outdoor Surfaces Before Winter Hits

As the days get shorter and the temperatures dip, now’s the time to get your home and outdoor spaces ready for the months ahead.


Most of us remember to rake leaves, clean gutters, or cover the fire pit — but what about the furniture, railings, and fixtures that make your backyard feel like home? Too often, they’re left to face the season unprotected, which means by spring they’re faded, oxidized, and in need of replacement.


That’s where Protecticoat comes in.

 

✅ Why Fall Prep Matters

 

  • Moisture + Leaves: Wet leaves left on surfaces all season = stains and breakdown.

  • Frost + Freeze: Repeated freeze/thaw cycles speed up oxidation and cracking.

  • Sun + Cold Mix: Even as temps drop, UV rays still fade and chalk surfaces.

 

A few minutes of prep now can save you hundreds (or even thousands) in replacement costs next year.

 

🛠 Your Fall Outdoor Checklist

 

Here’s what to tackle this weekend:

 

  1. Clean Gutters – Prevent ice dams and water damage.

  2. Rake & Mulch Leaves – Keep your lawn healthy.

  3. Check Fire Pit / Grill – Clear ashes and prep for winter storage.

  4. Inspect Outdoor Surfaces – Look for fading, chalking, or oxidation.

  5. Spray with Protecticoat – The fastest step on this list! Just spray, let dry, and you’re done.
