We cannot emphasise enough the importance of measuring your garden furniture before purchasing a cover. A cover may state that it is suitable for a 6 seater furniture set, but this does not necessarily mean that it will fit your 6 seater furniture set. There are so many different brands, styles and designs of garden furniture on the market it is near impossible to produce a cover that will fit all 6 seater sets.

Without anything to secure your cover to the furniture, it stands a chance of being blown away during windy conditions. And if the current is high enough, it can tag your furniture along. While these covers are great, we encourage you to explore other indoor storage solutions if you want something more long-term. A common question asked is why it is necessary to prevent water from pooling onto the patio furniture cover, apart from making cleaning patio furniture covers extra difficult. Where it is stated that a cover is for a set, this includes the chairs and you will need to include your chairs placed around your table in your measurements. If your measurements don't quite match the dimensions of the cover you are looking at, try pulling the chairs out away from the table slightly where the cover is too large, or push the chairs further under the table where the cover is too small and measure again.If you have a tablecloth that is pooling water, there are a few things you can do to prevent it. First, make sure the tablecloth is the right size for your table. If it is too big, it will hang over the edge of the table and collect water. Place something under the table cover to create a barrier. This could be a towel, an old piece of fabric, or even cardboard. Waterproof covers don’t allow water in or out; as a result, it’s very easy for moisture to build up inside when there’s no airflow. On the other hand, a water-resistant material will repel water while still offering a breathable design. This allows moisture to evaporate and not get trapped under the cover. Prioritize Breathability If you live in an area where rain has a strong presence for considerable periods each year, it’s best to move the furniture altogether. You could relocate the pieces in the shed, the garage, a covered patio, or some other spot where they’ll be shielded from water.

Few brands offer innovative furniture covers with a self-draining feature. These covers are shaped differently from regular covers. They most likely have an extra shaping on the front to help water drain off more easily. Often small amounts of water can escape from the weakened seams of the covers onto the patio furniture itself. This eventually leads to water damage that is quite difficult and costly to repair.Outdoor furniture covers come at different prices depending on the type of material, size, and style. It helps to have a particular budget in mind; this helps to narrow down your options. But make sure it’s possible to find a high-quality cover at your chosen price range. Avoid ridiculously low-priced covers by all means!

If you have patio furniture, you know how annoying it is when water gets on it. Water can ruin the material and make it uncomfortable to sit on. There are a few things you can do to keep water off your patio furniture. If you’re already using a waterproof cover, you can upgrade it by cutting a slit into the sides. Then use a piece of wire or straw to line the area with some mesh. The straw or wire helps to keep the slit open, while the mesh provides a channel for moisture to escape and helps to keep debris and insects away. If you have a patio table with an umbrella, you know that sometimes water can pool on the cover and make it wet. Here are a few tips to help keep your patio table cover dry:If none of the solutions sound appealing or possible, then you might want to invest in stronger outdoor furniture. Teak wood furniture, for instance, is more expensive, but it’s also a very durable materials choice. Its natural construction can fight off bad weather with minimal chances of damage. Final Thoughts The weight of the water on the furniture cover can cause it to sag. This destroys the custom shape of the furniture and puts excessive pressure on the seams, causing them to become undone.
