Custom Outdoor Chair Covers

What This Is A custom outdoor chair cover is a waterproof cover built from the measurements of one particular chair, so it follows that frame and nobody else's. Nothing is picked off a size chart. Outdoor chairs are the furniture few people bring in. They sit out through the season, under the tree, beside the pool, taking whatever the week brings. A cover only earns its place if it fits the chair that is actually out there. For the table and everything else on the patio, see our wider range of patio furniture and leisure covers. Verified Purchase Low price- lasts about one solid year “Our chairs and couch are under a fully covered patio. Hot summers and NO snow in winter. These split open at the arms as though they are brittle at about 1.5 years. Note, the beige color also becomes extremely dirty and needs to be blown off regularly.” Read the full review Why Do Universal Outdoor Chair Covers Never Fit Right? A universal cover is sized to the widest part of a chair and usually little else — the arms, or the seat if there are no arms. That is the one place it is ever pulled tight, and it is where one reviewer's cover split at the arms, at a little over a year. But a chair is not one measurement. If you are buying a standard size, does the size guide ever ask how wide your backrest is? The top of the cover hangs off the back like a shirt on a wire hanger. The spare fabric slides down into the seat, the one flat surface a chair has. Rain gathers in that slack and sits there, pressing down on the seat below. Wind finds the same slack at the back and fills it like a sail. The hem lifts, the cover climbs, and one gust takes it off. That is how a pack of universal garden chair covers ends up in a heap against the fence after the first windy night. What Does an Outdoor Chair Cover Protect Against? Six things wear an outdoor chair out: standing water, rust, damp, sun, wind, and what drops from the trees above it. Puddles in the Seat A sling or woven seat dips in the middle, and rain collects in the dip. A cushion on top takes that water in and holds it. Rust at the Welds Steel chairs rust at the welds and where the feet stand in the wet, because water lingers longest in those joints. The powder coat lifts there first, and the orange follows. Damp & Mould Cushions, slings and woven seats stay wet long after the frame has dried. Mould starts in the seams and the weave, where the sun never reaches. Sun & Fading Sun bleaches cushions and powder coat on whichever side faces it. Resin turns chalky and brittle, and bare teak goes silver-grey inside a summer. Wind Wind does not blow a chair clean. It drives grit, leaves and petals down into the seat and the joints, and the grit works into the weave until it is part of the fabric. Birds & Sap Chairs end up under trees, beside feeders and along fences where birds perch. Droppings etch timber and stain fabric, and sap from the branches above sets hard on the seat. Which Chair Do You Have? Which Chair Do You Have? There is no standard outdoor chair, so there is no standard cover here either. Find the shape closest to yours below and its measuring guide opens with it. If nothing matches, contact us with a photo and the measurements and we will design one around it. Dining Chairs With Arms A straight back, a curved back, or a barrel back that sweeps round into the arms. The cover runs down the arms to the front legs and takes in the backrest at its own width, not the width of the arms. Armless Dining Chairs A straight back, or an open back with a gap above the seat. With no arms the seat is the widest point, so the cover is shaped to the seat and narrows to the backrest above it. Sofa Chairs & Recliners Deep-seated patio armchairs with loose cushions: armless, square arm, rolled arm or a curved tub, and the garden recliner with or without a footrest. They are wider and deeper than a dining chair, and the cover follows the arms and the back cushion rather than a slim frame. Stools & Bar Chairs A round stool, a square one, or a bar chair on a single pedestal. A stool has no back to fit around, so the cover drops over the seat and follows the legs down to the feet. That is why a stool guide asks for the width at the feet as well as the seat. For a whole dining set, you can cover each chair here, or put one cover over the table with the chairs pushed under. Which suits depends on how far your chairs actually tuck in. What Happens to an Uncovered Outdoor Chair? An uncovered outdoor chair ages from the seat outwards, and slowly enough that nobody notices until a guest goes to sit down. Slat Rot Rusted Frame Mould in the Weave Faded Cushion Water Staining Bird Fouling How Is This Outdoor Chair Cover Different? 01 Shaped to the Back, Not Just the Arms The width of the backrest is what shapes the top of the cover, so it sits close to the back instead of hanging off it. We work from that, plus the total width, depth and height, and the height to the arm or the seat. Nothing goes into production until you have approved the design. Here is how the design service works. 02 100% Waterproof — Not Shower-Proof Waterproof garden chair covers earn the name at the seams as much as the fabric. NylonSafe® is a premium waterproof fabric for home and light commercial use. PVCArmour® is heavy-duty, for exposed gardens and commercial terraces. Both carry HydroLok® sealed seams — stitched, then sealed inside so water cannot follow the stitch line. Compare the two fabrics. 03 Held Down at the Seat With the back shaped to its own width, there is no spare fabric up top for a gust to fill. The standard tie-down is a drawstring hem, pulled in under the seat rail to hold the cover there. On an exposed terrace you can choose a stronger one instead: elasticated corners, eyelets or snap buckles. 04 Built to Stay Out Airflow vents let damp escape from under the cover, so the seat dries out. EZ handles — grab handles built into the vent structure — lift it off in one move when you want to sit. Both fabrics are UV-stabilised. The corners and fixings are reinforced, where the cover takes the most strain. A duffel bag stores it when it is off the chair. The full list is on the built-in features page. When Do You Need a Custom Outdoor Chair Cover? Not every outdoor chair needs a custom cover. It comes down to how long the chairs stay out and what they cost you. Focused on Longevity This cover is right for you if: Your outdoor chairs stay out all year and you want them dry enough to sit on the first warm day You have already bought covers for outdoor chairs that blew off or held a puddle in the seat The chairs are teak, powder-coated steel or woven resin, and worth more than a new cover every season Focused on Immediacy You don't need this if: Your outdoor chairs are plastic ones you would replace before you would cover They fold flat and live in the garage between uses You want something on them by Saturday and any size that roughly goes over will do
