Can outdoor furniture that's been left outside all season still be swapped?

Yes, as long as it's structurally sound — mention any weathering, rust, or faded fabric honestly, since outdoor furniture is expected to show some wear from use outside.

How do I move bulky outdoor furniture for a swap?

Arrange local collection rather than delivery wherever possible, and check both parties have a way to transport or carry it — garden sets and parasols are awkward rather than heavy, but still usually need two people.

Is it worth cleaning garden furniture before listing it?

A quick hose-down and wipe-over makes a real difference to how a listing photographs and how fast it swaps — algae and grime read as "neglected" even when the furniture itself is perfectly sound.

What should I check on second-hand parasols and gazebos?

Confirm the frame isn't bent, the mechanism still opens fully, and the fabric has no tears or significant UV fading — these are the parts that actually fail, not the fabric colour.
