Tree helicopter seeds, also known as samaras, can be a nuisance for outdoor furniture, especially tables. These winged seeds fall in large quantities, creating a mess and potentially staining or damaging surfaces. Here are practical ways to keep your outdoor table safe:

1. Use a Protective Cover – Invest in a durable, waterproof outdoor furniture cover. Ensure it fits snugly to prevent seeds from slipping underneath.

2. Regular Cleaning – Sweep or rinse off seeds daily to avoid buildup. Stagnant seeds can attract moisture, leading to mold or stains.

3. Placement Strategy – Move your table away from trees that produce helicopter seeds during peak shedding seasons (spring and early summer).

4. Temporary Canopy or Umbrella – Install a shade or umbrella to deflect falling seeds and reduce direct contact with the table.

5. Apply a Protective Coating – For wooden tables, use a sealant to make the surface less adhesive to seeds and easier to clean.

By taking these steps, you can enjoy your outdoor space without constant cleanup or worry about seed damage. Prevention and maintenance are key to keeping your table in top condition!
