How Well Does the Ceramic Glaze Handle Sun and Rain?

The semi-glossy weather-resistant glaze on this ceramic stool is formulated to withstand direct sun and moisture without peeling or blistering when used outdoors. The handcrafted ceramic body resists UV fade better than most painted finishes, so the color holds through a season of patio use. That said, ceramic is porous and can crack if water freezes inside it, so this stool performs best in climates where overnight freezes are rare or when you bring it in before winter.

Do You Have to Bring It Inside for Winter?

Yes -- store this ceramic garden stool indoors during periods of freezing weather to prevent the material from cracking. Ceramic can absorb small amounts of moisture, and when that water freezes it expands and causes hairline fractures or breaks. If you live where winter nights drop below 32°F regularly, move the stool into a garage, shed or covered porch before the first freeze. For maintenance, just wipe it down with a damp cloth and avoid chemical cleaners that can dull the glaze.
