Product Information

Whilst covering your garden table and chairs makes cleaning them a lot easier, the caveat to this is that the cover itself needs to be cleaned. The furniture may be free from mould and mildew, but the cover won't be unless it's washed regularly - remember, it's taking all the rain, snow and creepy crawlies your furniture would otherwise be getting.

One positive aspect of this furniture cover is its heavy-duty construction. The 600D rip-proof material provides durability and protection against various outdoor elements. It is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including rain, wind, and UV rays. The cover's ability to protect the furniture from these elements is commendable. The idea is to get the cover as low as possible without it trailing on the ground - measuring the height of your furniture is important for this - and then wrap the strap tightly around the leg of the furniture to secure it in place. If your garden has metal furniture for example, it will soon start to rust if its left out in the rain without a cover. And if you have wooden garden furniture, sun bleaching becomes an issue and you're going to have to repaint it to get it looking fresh again. Furniture covers will prevent all of that and allow you to enjoy your garden sets hassle-free. 2. Cleaning is easier Most garden furniture covers are quite generic in size and are made to fit different things, which means you’ll generally need to get one that’s slightly larger than what you need to cover. It's also simple to wash and maintain; just hose the down with water and let it dry in the sun. Can you wash garden furniture covers?Measure accurately: For the perfect fit, make sure you measure your outdoor furniture before choosing your cover. You want it to be a snug fit to ensure maximum protection. The inclusion of an air vent is also a positive feature. The vent allows for proper airflow, which helps prevent the buildup of moisture and condensation under the cover. This ventilation can contribute to maintaining the condition of the furniture and prevent the growth of mold or mildew. If you have outdoor furniture with soft furnishings that aren't necessarily designed to be kept outside, then having a cover could be beneficial,' he adds.

A big bonus of investing in an outdoor furniture cover is that it will make maintenance and cleaning a lot easier. As the cover acts as a barrier between your furniture and the elements, it is less likely to be affected by mould, mildew, or rusting, so the time spent learning how to clean garden furniture is cut in half. If you treat the wood every year, your furniture should be resistant to water and won't need covering between uses during summer.
