Choosing the Best Patio Furniture Cover Material: A Guide to Covermates Collections

Investing in patio furniture is a great way to enhance your outdoor space, but protecting it is just as important. Covermates offers four distinct collections of patio furniture covers, each designed with unique materials, features, and warranties. While all provide durable protection, the differences in fabric, construction, and design allow you to choose the option that best aligns with your needs.



What to Consider When Choosing a Patio Furniture Cover

Selecting the right patio furniture cover is about more than just price—it's about ensuring long-lasting protection based on your unique needs. Here are some key factors to consider:

  • Climate Conditions: The weather in your area plays a major role in how much protection your furniture will need. If you frequently experience intense sun, heavy rain, snow, or strong winds, choosing a cover with strong UV resistance, water repellency, and wind security is essential.
  • Furniture Material: Different types of outdoor furniture require different levels of protection. Wood and wicker are vulnerable to moisture, metal may need UV protection to prevent fading, and cushioned furniture benefits from breathable covers to prevent mold and mildew.
  • Usage Frequency: If you use your furniture year-round, a cover that balances durability and ease of removal is ideal. If you only cover it seasonally, a heavier-duty cover may be better suited for long-term storage.
  • Fit and Coverage: A well-fitted cover is key to keeping out the elements. Look for adjustable straps, elastic hems, or drawcords for a snug and secure fit.
