Patio furniture are not permanent you need to re-arrange when the time comes like when your friends come over. A long table can be set to in the middle of the patio with chairs around it so your friends can sit and mingle while they enjoy the food you serve.

Aside from the patio furniture, you must also consider the maintenance of it. Patios must be kept clean because every visitor will look at it and you want your friends or visitors to be pleased when they look at your patio. When the season is about to change, make sure that you clean the patio such as sweeping and brushing of dirt. Patios can also wear down so you must be keen at looking at holes or signs of wear and tear. Other people might be stepping on the hole and might trip and hit the floor. You surely do not want this scenario to happen. If your patio flooring is made of wood make sure that the paints are not scratched away or it cannot be chipped easily. If it does then you might need to repaint it again. Also clean patio furniture, before and after you use for the summer time or the winter season.
