Outdoor furniture covers

With covers and protective sleeves, outdoor furniture and parasols last longer

There's no doubt about it: our rattan and acacia outdoor furniture, our garden furniture cushions, lounge sets and so much more look beautiful and turn outdoor spaces into a second living room. So it's well worth protecting them, quickly and easily, from bad weather, dust or strong sun. Without that protection, precious natural materials can fade or even get damaged. And green stains or the traces left by birds and insects on your outdoor furniture aren't a great look either. Whether it's bad weather, harsh sunlight or simply a spell when you're not using them, an outdoor furniture cover keeps your outdoor pieces looking like new and helps them last longer.

Key features and benefits of our covers and sleeves for parasols, outdoor furniture and more (depending on the model):

• Perfect fit: designed specifically for our range, from covers for lounge sets and garden dining tables and chairs to sun lounger covers and parasol sleeves.
• Waterproof protection: the waterproof outdoor furniture cover keeps rain and moisture off.
• UV-resistant materials: covers and protective sleeves prevent fading and protect delicate surfaces from strong sun.
• Easy to clean: our outdoor furniture covers can be wiped down easily.
• Quick to secure: elastic and velcro straps keep covers firmly in place, even in strong wind.
• Practical design: different coatings on each side make it easy to see which side faces out when fitting.
• Compact storage: folded up, the covers tuck away neatly in a storage chest or on a shelf.

Which cover or protective sleeve is best for my outdoor furniture?

The most important thing is that the cover fits your furniture. It's also worth deciding whether you prefer a flat cover, a fitted one or a shaped sleeve. Large flat covers can be used for different purposes, while fitted covers and sleeves tend to be more compact and sit more precisely on your furniture. For a lounge set, a lounge cover that wraps around the whole outdoor sofa and sometimes the side table is ideal. Outdoor dining tables can be protected with a garden table cover, while parasols need a matching parasol sleeve. Check the dimensions of your furniture when choosing and the fit will always be just right.

What material makes a good cover or protective sheet for outdoor furniture?

A good outdoor furniture cover is made from durable, coated polyester. This material is waterproof, UV-resistant and tear-resistant. It keeps moisture out while still allowing air to circulate, so condensation doesn't build up on the inside. The coating also makes the fabric easy to look after and long-lasting.

How can I protect my outdoor furniture?

The best way is with well-fitting covers. Simply put a cover on whenever your furniture isn't in use or when bad weather is on the way, and leave it slightly open at the bottom so air can still get through. Regular cleaning also helps, as does storing garden cushions somewhere dry. During winter, you can bring more delicate garden or terrace furniture inside to protect it from the elements completely.

Should I cover my outdoor furniture every time it rains?

Yes, especially during longer spells of rain or when the furniture isn't being used, a cover can really help your outdoor furniture last longer. Even though many pieces are built to be durable and weatherproof, wood, metal, rattan and cushion fabric can become more fragile over time. An outdoor furniture cover helps prevent water damage, stains and mould. And putting the covers on usually takes just a few seconds, but makes a big difference over the years.

How do I care for and store outdoor furniture covers properly?

Wipe off dirt with a damp cloth or rinse the cover off with a garden hose. For stubborn marks, a gentle hand wash at no more than 40 degrees will do it. One important step before storing: covers must be completely dry to prevent mould. Fold them up and put them away in a storage chest or on a shelf. Check beforehand for any slugs or dirt hiding inside. That way, your outdoor cushions and covers stay ready to use for a long time.
