Patio Furniture Covers | What You Need to Know
It’s no small price to pay for high-quality patio furniture, but that upfront cost is meant to signify an investment in your outdoor living space—a promise that your exposed outdoor seating will hold up for years to come. Try telling that to Mother Nature...
The truth is, even the highest quality patio furniture is susceptible to the elements. The only tried-and-true method to ensure the longevity of pieces like your patio umbrella, chaise lounge, or Adirondack chair is with well-fitting outdoor furniture covers.
Whether rain, snow, or sunlight, outdoor furniture covers are specially engineered to prevent damage caused by the elements. Even more than that, they can serve as an extra layer of protection against other outdoor forces. Let’s look at what your covers can safeguard against to protect your furniture's functionality and aesthetic.
Prevent Rust and Corrosion: Outdoor seating like metal patio umbrellas and chaise lounges may be vulnerable to rust over time. Covers keep moisture away and help maintain your furniture’s structural integrity.
Dust and Dirt Protection: Patio furniture covers are perfect for keeping dust, dirt, and debris from accumulating, which is especially important if you live in a windy area or have high pollen levels.
Fade Resistant: With UV-resistant materials, outdoor furniture covers prevent colors from fading due to sunlight exposure. That means outdoor seating can stay vibrant for longer.
Pest Deterrent: Avoid a face full of spider webs (or who knows what else) when unpacking your furniture at the start of the season with covers that can potentially deter insects and small animals from nesting or damaging your pieces.
Our selection includes single covers for individual seats and patio umbrellas in addition to sets of outdoor furniture covers, which can incorporate chaise lounges, chairs, and even patio tables, so we’ve got you completely covered...literally.
Is it best to cover outdoor furniture?
Yes, we recommend covering outdoor furniture pieces like chaise lounges, patio umbrellas, and more to protect against outdoor elements and increase your furniture’s longevity.
Should I cover wet patio furniture?
It is best to avoid covering patio furniture when it is wet as it can trap the moisture and create a breeding ground for mold, mildew, and bacterial growth. Ideally, you should allow your outdoor seating to dry before covering.
How do you cover patio furniture in the winter?
Best practices for covering patio furniture in the off-season include cleaning the furniture, removing cushions, covering each piece individually with appropriate-fitting covers, and, if possible, storing inside. If left outside, it is recommended the furniture be monitored and maintained as needed.
