Falling buckeyes can damage your outdoor furniture, leaving dents, scratches, or even stains. To safeguard your patio or garden setup, follow these practical tips:

1. Use Protective Covers – Invest in durable, waterproof furniture covers to shield tables, chairs, and loungers from falling buckeyes. Heavy-duty materials like polyester or vinyl work best.

2. Install Overhead Netting – If your furniture sits under a buckeye tree, consider hanging a fine mesh net above it to catch falling nuts before they hit your pieces.

3. Relocate Furniture Temporarily – During peak buckeye season (late summer to fall), move furniture away from high-risk areas under trees.

4. Regular Cleaning & Inspection – Sweep away fallen buckeyes promptly to prevent prolonged exposure. Check for any damage and treat scratches or dents early.

5. Choose Resilient Materials – Opt for metal or high-density plastic furniture that can withstand minor impacts better than wood or wicker.

By taking these precautions, you can enjoy your outdoor space without worrying about buckeye damage!
