Buying Guide
What should you consider when buying a rectangle patio furniture cover?
- Size and fit: Measure your table length, width, and height plus chair clearance. Look for covers that specify a compatible range and note if chair arms extend beyond the table footprint.
- Material and waterproofing: Look for heavy-duty polyester or vinyl blends with waterproof backing and taped seams. UV resistance helps prevent fading in sunny climates.
- Ventilation: Side vents reduce wind pressure and moisture buildup under the cover, extending furniture life.
- Durability and seams: Sealed seams and reinforced edges prevent tearing in wind and rain.
- Weather considerations: For snowy areas, ensure the cover has extra height or room to shed snow, and choose double-stitched construction.
