Garden Covers

Garden furniture cover

The garden furniture cover is a cost-effective alternative to the garden shed. Made from plastic or canvas, the waterproof cover protects garden tables, deckchairs and parasols alike. This online garden center also delivers large-scale garden furniture covers to protect inflatable pools and swing sets. Waterproof protective cover for all seasons.

The garden or terrace are ideal outdoor spaces for enjoying garden furniture on sunny days. But since garden furniture is generally left outside all year round, it's important to take care of it and protect it from the elements and the climate. Whatever the season.

To keep your furniture in perfect condition and enjoy it for longer, a protective garden cover is an indispensable ally.

Preserving your garden furniture

Garden furniture is highly exposed to the vagaries of the climate: intense sun, rain, hail, even snow in winter. If left unprotected, your beautiful furniture can quickly deteriorate. Replacing your furniture every year can be very costly.

Wooden furniture

Wood is a characteristic material that is highly sensitive to humidity. Although it can be treated and varnished, wood rots if repeatedly subjected to rain or humidity. It must therefore be protected from sources of water. Characteristic oils such as linseed oil can provide welcome protection, but if you leave your wooden garden furniture outdoors all year round, it would be wise to invest in a protective cover for garden furniture.

Metal furniture

Wooden furniture is not immune to corrosion. In contact with a damp environment, metal reacts and rust sets in, gradually eating away at the structure. Beyond the unsightly effect of rust on your furniture, it can cause considerable damage and render the structure crumbly, less solid and therefore dangerous to use, especially on the barbecue.

The parasol

Less often thought of, parasols also need a protective cover. The cover protects the parasol from the effects of the sun, which can cause discoloration. Resistant and water-repellent, the cover prevents mildew and fungus from settling in the sides of the parasol when it's folded.

How do I use my protective cover?

First of all, use a protective cover of the right size to cover your table or chairs completely. Before use, unfold the cover and check for damage. To be of good quality, the cover must be UV-resistant, water-repellent and hard-wearing. It must be easy to use, both to protect the furniture and to remove it. When you no longer need it, fold it up and store it in a clean, dry place.

Which cover should I use for my garden furniture?

For garden furniture, especially wood, it's essential to choose a cover that lets the furniture breathe. A woven polyester cover is ideal. Of course, it must be waterproof and airtight.

You can also opt for a transparent or opaque, UV-treated protective tarpaulin to guarantee the life of your furniture. Next, choose the right size cover: too small and it won't protect your furniture sufficiently, too big and it will reduce air circulation and your furniture will suffer.
