Outdoor Furniture Cover Buying Guide — Patio, Garden, and Poolside Protection
Outdoor furniture is expensive — a quality patio set costs $500-3,000. A furniture cover that costs $20-50 protects that investment from sun, rain, and bird droppings for years.
Material Choices
- Oxford with PU coating: Waterproof, UV resistant, breathable. The standard choice for outdoor furniture covers.
- PEVA: 100% waterproof but degrades in 6-12 months of sun. Budget option for covered patios.
- Ripstop polyester: Lightweight but strong. Good for large sectional covers that need to be lightweight enough to put on solo.
Sizing Tips
Measure the total width, depth, and height of your furniture set. Add 4-6 inches to each measurement for easy on/off. For L-shaped sectionals, measure each piece individually — you may need two covers.
Essential Features
- Ventilation flaps: Prevent condensation and mildew
- Adjustable drawstrings or click-close straps: Keep the cover on in wind
- Handles: For easy removal by one person
- Dark colors: Hide dirt and mildew stains better than light colors
