HOW TO SELECT FURNITURE COVERS

Measure your furniture

Before you even start looking at patio furniture covers, you’ll want to measure your furniture. It’s shocking how many people buy covers without ever measuring their pieces. This can easily lead to oversized or undersized covers that don’t function properly. Often, you’ll find manufacturers sell covers made specifically for the pieces you have. You can easily look at the manufacturer’s website to see what’s available. However, this isn’t always the case. If there aren’t covers sized to fit your outdoor furniture set, you’ll want to look for an alternative cover sized to your patio furniture — ideally one that has adjustable ties or attachments, to allow you more flexibility.

Waterproof

Whether the cover is water resistant or not is very important. And that rain has a tendency to promote mildew. There’s a common assumption that all outdoor furniture covers are waterproof. However, this isn’t true. There are a lot of covers that are simply water resistant. This means that water can (and most likely will) penetrate the cover at some point. Waterproof covers are typically made from vinyl. One thing to keep in mind with vinyl is that any moisture trapped inside is unlikely to dry and can lead to mold.

Breathable

Whether you select water resistant or waterproof covers, you’ll want to look for ones with vents. Vents allow air to circulate, helping the cover ‘breathe’ so that your furniture can dry. If you selected vinyl furniture without vents, you’ll want to open up the furniture on nice days from time to time, to allow any trapped moisture to escape.

Covers with tie downs

If you’re not careful, the wind can quickly transform your outdoor patio furniture cover into a balloon — which might even have enough lift to move your furniture! Tie downs help you avoid this. By tying your covers securely to your furniture and taking out as much slack as possible, you limit the amount of air that can gust inside.
