How can I prevent pets and wild animals from damaging my furniture?
POLYWOOD products are engineered to withstand all weather conditions, but we can't guarantee that pets or wildlife won't damage your furniture. While it's not a common occurrence, you can take the following measures to prevent animal damage:
- Cover your furniture when it’s not in use.
- Store cushions in an outdoor console table.
- Apply cayenne pepper or peppermint oil directly onto genuine POLYWOOD lumber—their strong scents and tastes repel animals, but won’t harm the material.
Although POLYWOOD doesn't sell furniture covers directly, you can purchase covers from retailers such as Coverstore. To find the cover that fits your furniture best, you only need the product’s dimensions.
If you need replacement parts due to animal damage, please complete a Replacement Parts Request and have the original order information on hand. We’ll be glad to provide you with pricing for the item and assist you in placing the order.
