You spend a lot of money on your patio furniture, so naturally you want them to look great for years to come. You may think that patio furniture can withstand these elements because it is designed for outdoor use, but you would be surprised to find that many of them start to fade and rust after just a few years. But don't worry because there is a way to extend the life of your patio furniture!

If you want to keep your patio furniture protected from harsh weather and keep it looking its best for many years to come, then it's wise to protect it with a garden furniture cover. The furniture you invest in for your outdoor space will last longer if you use a customized cover. But not all covers are created equal, and it's important to do your research first so you can get the one that will best protect your furniture. Here are a few questions you should ask before making a purchase.

What type of fabric is this cover made of?
Ask what your patio furniture cover is made of and what advantages certain materials have over others. Certain types of fabric are more likely to break down over time. You should choose a cover where all fabric covers are made of high-quality polyester fibers that are guaranteed to withstand the harshest weather conditions.

Are there covers for specific furniture types?
Yes, there are furniture covers designed for various types of outdoor furniture, catering to the unique shapes and sizes. You can find covers for lounge chairs, sofas, dining sets, grills, and even umbrellas. When shopping, make sure to browse for covers explicitly designed for your furniture piece, ensuring a better fit and protection.

Does the cover offer UV protection?
It is crucial to choose a cover that offers UV protection since continuous exposure to the sun can damage furniture. High-quality covers use UV-resistant fabrics that protect your furniture finish from fading and deterioration. When selecting a cover, make sure it specifically mentions UV protection as one of its features.

Can the cover withstand extreme weather?
An excellent outdoor furniture cover should withstand extreme weather conditions. Look for materials and construction designed to resist damage from hot or cold temperatures, heavy rainfall, snow, and strong winds. Additionally, ensure the cover has air vents to prevent condensation buildup, which could cause mold and mildew growth. This will help preserve your furniture regardless of the weather conditions.

Is your cover tear resistant?
Outdoor furniture and other belongings are an expensive investment. The last thing you want to do is try to protect it with a cheap case that will only last a few months. Look for patio furniture covers made of high quality, tear-resistant durable fabric that features double-stitched seams. Covers with this type of craftsmanship won’t rip and are made to last as long as your patio furniture.

Does the cover come with after-sales service?
The cover is a protector of your investment. It is important to know that it will last. A good company will offer after-sales service for their products. If you purchase a cover that is defective or not working properly, you can return or exchange it. Understanding factors such as warranty, guarantee, upgrades, returns and replacement policies can help you make an informed decision.

Is the cover breathable?
It’s important that your cover is breathable to avoid mold and mildew. While our covers are sealed tight since they are waterproof, they come with air vents that are strategically placed to allow proper airflow. This allows the air to circulate which greatly decreases the likelihood of mold and mildew growth.

Is the patio cover secured?
Nobody wants to chase their outdoor patio furniture cover across the yard whenever a strong wind blows or worse yet, see it transformed into a balloon as it flies off down the street. Strong tie-downs are made to prevent these things from happening. Shop for covers with multiple tie-down options like push clips, elastic, or customizable grommets to name just a few. This gives allows you to pick the best option for your needs and keeps your valuables safe in even the heaviest of winds.

If after being satisfied with the answers, when you choose a specific patio furniture cover, be sure to check the dimensions so that it fits and doesn't drag on the floor to collect water and dirt. Hopefully, after understanding the above questions, you will be able to make an informed decision and find the ideal cover for your needs.
