Garden Furniture Covers

Garden furniture cover buyers guide

Although all garden furniture from Hayes is weatherproof and can withstand many conditions, using a garden furniture cover gives an extra layer of protection to make your garden furniture last even longer. Garden furniture covers stop dust and dirt from getting in when furniture is not in use and also prevent bird droppings, fallen leaves or sap from soiling your outdoor furniture. Choosing a high quality breathable cover will also stop condensation and mould from forming. Many of our manufacturers produce furniture covers specifically for their furniture sets, so they are guaranteed to fit correctly. When choosing a cover, you should consider the size of your furniture as you will need different covers for garden furniture sets, chairs, parasols, swing sets or barbecues. Getting the wrong size will mean your furniture isn't as protected as it should be. Furniture covers are especially important for covering cushions. Aluminium and rattan frames will last well in cold and wet weather, but cushions are susceptible to mould and must be protected from the elements. You can buy dedicated cushion bags for your cushions or, of course, store them in a cushion box. A good quality garden furniture cover will be durable and made from breathable fabric. This means they will not be completely waterproof but, if you prop up a broom handle or an upturned bucket in the middle of your furniture, you can create a peak for water to flow down so it doesn’t pool and cause problems.
