Cover for Garden Chairs

Size and fit are essential. Measure your chairs including armrests and consider whether you need a slip-on cover, a tailored fit, or a universal fit that will accommodate different chair shapes such as dining chairs, lounge chairs, or stacking chairs.

Material matters. Look for polyester or polypropylene fabrics with a UV-resistant coating and a waterproof backing to keep rain out while allowing moisture to escape. A breathable, PEVA or polyurethane coating reduces condensation and helps prevent mildew.

Weather resistance. If you experience strong winds, choose covers with elastic hems, drawstrings, or buckle fasteners to keep the cover secure. Windproof designs prevent flapping and reduce wear and tear over the seasons.

Maintenance and care. Easy-clean fabrics that shed dirt and stains with a quick wipe-down save time. Many garden chair covers are machine-washable or simply require a gentle hand wash and air drying.

Storage and portability. For those who store chairs indoors during winter, look for lightweight, compact covers with carry bags or integrated storage pockets to keep everything organized.

All-weather covers: Heavy-duty, waterproof fabrics designed to withstand rain, snow, and soaking humidity, perfect for temperate and wet climates.

Breathable covers: Fabrics that allow air flow to reduce moisture buildup and prevent mold while keeping rain out, ideal for humid summers.

Elasticated and tailored fits: Covers with elastic hems or tailored cuts that hug the chair shape for a neat, streamlined look and minimal movement in the wind.

UV-protected fabrics: Materials with UV inhibitors that slow fading and preserve colour richness after prolonged sun exposure.

Lightweight travel covers: Compact, easy-to-pack options for balcony or terrace furniture during travel or seasonal storage.

Regular cleaning keeps fabrics looking new. Most covers can be wiped with a damp cloth or given a gentle wash with mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals that can break down coatings and stitching.

Dry thoroughly before storing. Ensure covers are completely dry to prevent mildew and odours during storage. Use the included storage bag or a dedicated space in a dry wardrobe or shed.

Store properly in off-season. If possible, rotate usage so no single cover bears the brunt of sun exposure, heat, or heavy rain, prolonging its life and maintaining fit.

Protection routines. Pair covers with protective chair cushions and weatherproof storage solutions to maximize protection and ease of use when you’re hosting outdoors.
