What DUMOS is

DUMOS outdoor and utility

02What decides it

The yard, the garage and the room the furnace forgets

Patio sets and lounge chairs, camping cots, zero-gravity chairs, a cantilever umbrella, step ladders, metal shelving, raised garden beds, a magnetic whiteboard and a space heater.

The patio sets are the reason this room exists: a three-piece bistro set for a balcony and four-piece sets with a glass table for a deck, in PE rattan on a steel frame or in plain powder-coated steel. The lounges are for lying down, the zero-gravity chairs for reclining with the feet up, the cots and folding chairs for a campsite. The cantilever umbrella hangs its 10-foot canopy from an offset pole so the table underneath stays clear. Every card prints the assembled size and the frame material, and we sell the covers separately.

The utility half is what a house needs and a furniture catalogue rarely lists: two and three-step folding ladders with a handrail, four-tier metal shelving for a garage, galvanized raised beds for a vegetable patch, a magnetic whiteboard for the wall by the door, and a space heater for the one room the furnace never reaches. The heater carries a tip-over switch; the Consumer Product Safety Commission's three rules for running one are on this page, and the first of them is three feet of clear space.

Before the heater goes on

A portable heater is the one piece in this catalogue that starts fires, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission counts about 1,600 of them a year, with about 70 deaths and 150 injuries, in its most recent three-year figures. Its rules are short. Keep the heater at least three feet from drapes, furniture, bedding and anything else that burns, on all sides. Plug it directly into a wall outlet, never into an extension cord or a power strip. Turn it off before you sleep and before you leave the room. Our heater carries a tip-over switch; a switch is not a substitute for the three feet.

Every sentence in this note about safety comes from a named public source. All of them, with the date we read them, are on our updates page.

03Asked in this room

DUMOS outdoor and utility: questions

The three things people ask us about outdoor and utility before they choose a piece.

Can a DUMOS patio set stay outside in the rain?

The frames are powder-coated steel and the rattan is PE, both made for rain; the cushions are not, and the reviews bring them in or cover the set. A cover is sold separately and is on this shelf. Leave the set out through a winter and the coating, not the cushion, is what you are relying on.

How far from the sofa should you put a DUMOS space heater?

Three feet, on every side, from anything that burns, which is the Consumer Product Safety Commission's first rule; the second is a wall outlet rather than an extension cord, and the third is off before you sleep. The heater carries a tip-over switch, and the switch does not shorten the three feet.

How tall can you go on a DUMOS step ladder?

The two-step stands about 33 inches tall opened out and the three-step 45, both with a handrail and a stated capacity of 800 lb. Stand on the step, not the handrail, and open the ladder fully on a flat floor; a kitchen counter at 36 inches is reached from the two-step.
