Protecting your patio furniture during the Autumn and Winter months is about making sure your garden items are in the same condition when you unpack them in Spring and that you can get the maximum enjoyment out of your investment. Enjoying your outdoor space in the summer is one of life’s blessings, so you are absolutely right to invest in good quality garden and patio furniture and to also make sure it is properly protected.
But what types of patio furniture covers are available? And what special features should you look out for? Here we will present a short guide to the range of waterproof patio furniture covers we offer and explain the qualities and characteristics that make them the high quality garden furniture cover you should order online today.
Why you should order patio furniture covers from Bags & Covers Direct
Our range of patio furniture covers are ideal for tables and chairs, sofas, benches and picnic tables. But we also supply premium quality covers for other garden items such as barbecues, firepits, parasols, rotary dryers, pet hutches, hot tubs and cushions. And in terms of suitably protecting your patio furniture, here are the best qualities:
Strong – In the UK we are lucky to escape the harshest winters, but we can still be exposed to strong winds, heavy rains, sharp frosts and periods of snow and ice. These all take their toll on patio furniture, so you want covers to be strong and durable to last many years. This means they can withstand the wet and windy weather conditions, but also that they can be pulled tight around your furniture without the stitching coming away. You also want your cover to stay in place and our heavy-duty garden furniture covers have the durability to do that.
Breathable – The changing conditions over winter present condensation, which is the result of a differential in temperatures. To avoid excessive moisture build-up our garden furniture covers are breathable, so they allow air to circulate to prevent moisture build-up and so you don’t experience damp and mould on your garden furniture.
Waterproof – When we talk about protection over winter, we are mainly talking about waterproof patio furniture covers. Rain is the most common type of weather we experience over winter, and damp also comes from early morning frost. We can supply a premium waterproof cover which is manufactured with 500 denier polyester fabric, or a deluxe waterproof cover which is made to 750 denier. Either of these options give you suitable and adequate moisture protection long term, but for items that are particularly exposed to the elements, consider the deluxe option for the best protection.
Eyelets and draw cords – Wind is a nuisance over winter, and you can spend hours wrestling with your garden furniture covers if you have ordered the wrong size, stacked your furniture badly or not fitted the cover properly. Our eyelets and drawcords allow you to pull a cover tight at the bottom and secure it, to avoid excess material that can get caught by high winds.
Made-to-measure – Ordering a bespoke cover enables you to avoid the issue referred to above, ie. ordering the wrong size of cover. To offer maximum protection the cover has to neatly and securely fit your garden furniture, with no excess material and no parts of the furniture exposed to the elements. Our made-to-measure service enables you to get the perfect fit if you supply accurate measurements. But remember not to stack too many items under a cover, as they could move or present an awkward package that doesn’t fit the shape the made-to-measure cover was originally made for.
