Although garden furniture tends to be made from materials that are able to withstand much of the unique UK weather, buying covers can still make sense.
Even the most durable of materials will be damaged by lengthy periods of heavy rain or exposure to the sun for long spells. So, what should you look for in garden furniture covers?
The correct size
The best way to ensure that you get a cover of the right size is to put all your furniture together in a typical grouping and then measure it.
Give yourself a five-centimetre margin when it comes to the cover size. You can buy separate ones for each piece, but products such as Lifestyle garden furniture covers are big enough to protect an entire set, which will be a cost-effective choice.
Full protection
The covers you purchase should be both waterproof and able to shield furniture from UV sun rays. That will be especially important if your furniture stays in the garden all the time. Make sure to check carefully before actually buying a cover.
Strong seams
If it rains heavily for a long period, water will start to build up towards the bottom of your cover. The weight of that pooled rainwater can put the seams under pressure, so make sure you get covers with well-made seams.
Buying something like Garland garden furniture covers will ensure you are getting a product from a reputable and established manufacturer, so you will not have to worry about your seams splitting.
