If the weather is very hot or very cold and it is not possible to spend a relaxing time on the garden furniture, it is very important to use furniture covers to protect the furniture. Environmental factors such as harsh sun, wind, rain and snow can damage the garden furniture over time, and the covers make an exceptional contribution to protecting your investment.
Let's take a look at a few factors that allow you to choose the perfect outdoor furniture cover.
Material of the cover – Since the cover is directly exposed to the harsh weather conditions, it is better to choose high-quality covers. They should be waterproof and, if possible, UV resistant. Low quality outdoor furniture covers can last only a few seasons and must be replaced in any case. Even if the high-quality covers are a little expensive, they will save you money in the long run because they last for years.
Size – Considering the size of the covers, it is better to choose bespoke covers as they are exactly the size of your furniture. If you opt for smaller covers, these can not completely cover the furniture, and larger covers can inflate in strong winds. In addition, there is a possibility that they completely blow off the furniture.
Additional Features – While not strictly required, you can use covers with additional features such as Velcro, elasticated seams, leg bindings, storage pockets, and more. There are also covers with piping at the ends that drain the water remove the ceiling. There are also covers with ventilation holes to reduce condensation under the covers.
These points ensure that your garden furniture is well protected throughout the year. Be sure to remember these tips when buying garden furniture.
