Why Choose a VERANDA Outdoor Furniture Cover

The reason is clear, so clear it’s transparent and RUNS OFF the fabric cover instead of collecting on seats and tabletops. The Veranda outdoor furniture cover collection from Classic Accessories has a proprietary protective system called Gardelle, which allows you to have the best of both worlds – elegant fabric on the outside and mildew and mold-free furniture on the inside. Look at how water beads on the fabric, then rolls off. Nevertheless, the Veranda covers don’t solely rely on treated fabric to protect your furniture. They have an inner lining, or rather an undercoating, that’s PVC so moisture and dirt won’t penetrate to harm even expensive wooden garden furniture sets. Each cover has a skirt that repels splashes, and the pliable canvas-like fabric won’t crack even in icy weather!

For when it’s windy, the covers include straps and closures that attach to the legs of tables, chairs, lounges, land even barbeques. They stay snug and secure because there’s also a cord that’s elastic and runs around the lower edge of each chair or table cover. Despite being well covered, the furniture won’t get musty, moldy or stale smelling because each of the Veranda outdoor furniture covers has an air vent. That means that even when covering resin furniture or glass table tops there’s less condensation and less chance of damage even during long winter months. The air vents prevent wind lofting because air can pass through so the covers won’t act like parachutes – filling with air, tumbling, toppling over or sailing off the deck or patio.

Another feature of the Veranda patio furniture cover design is that every seam is constructed using an interlocking system for added strength while keeping moisture / dirt out. When covering chairs, tables and outdoor equipment like heaters, lamps, umbrellas, air conditioners, barbeques or fire pits, use the easy to grip handles to slide them on and off.

Installing the Veranda Outdoor Table and Chair Covers

They’re easy to install using the handles to lift and slide over furniture, but it’s a good idea to make sure that sharp edges and corners are not poking and stressing the fabric.

If there are sharp corners (especially on square tabletops made of glass or wrought iron), it may be a good idea to cut pieces of sponge and wrap them around protruding corners. However, in most cases, if a large enough outdoor furniture cover has been chosen, they’ll glide over furniture without stress to the cover or the furniture.

Make sure that the covers are pulled all the way down and that the lower elastic cord is tightened to cinch everything in place. Then wrap the strap fasteners around the legs of chairs or tables and secure them with the Velcro so everything stays where it ought.

Caring for Your Outdoor Chair Covers

The covers for chairs, tables and other outdoor accessories can be cleaned before storing during summer months. The best way to ensure that the protective coating on the fabric remains water-resistant is to brush off the dirt and wash with water – not hot – just lukewarm. They can be hosed down so long as afterward they’re thoroughly air dried in the sunshine before getting packed up. The covers must be TOTTALY dry before storing, especially if they’ll be packed for several months of the year.

It’s important NOT to use soap, detergents or cleaning products to wash the covers. The protective treatment that keeps the fabric waterproof may be adversely affected by cleaning products and therefore should be avoided.

Why has the Classic Accessories Veranda Patio Loveseat Cover received rave reviews? Because it’s durable, easy to care for and practical. Customers agree that Veranda is one of the top outdoor furniture cover designs, and many who buy them are tough clients to please due to where they live – often near coastal regions where humidity, heavy rains and strong winds have made other patio covers useless. The Veranda fabric is indeed easy to care for, despite being a neutral canvas-type material that’s soft and pliable. Although there are more expensive patio furniture cover designs and many that are cheaper, the combination of price vs. quality is difficult to beat.

Choosing the Right Outdoor Furniture Cover for Each Piece of Furniture

The Veranda outdoor table cover designs, as well as their accessories covers, are not designed for specific brands of furniture, however, since they have various sizes, it’s important to measure your table and chair sets very carefully. In some cases, especially those that cover dinning sets that include the table and the chairs under one single cover, it’s important to measure the total dimensions including the chairs placed around the table. It’s better to err on the side of a little large than too small.

Take a look at the Classic Oval Veranda Patio Table and 6-Chair Cover Set that’s 108 x 82 inches, which means that the table and chairs together can’t be longer or wider than these dimensions. Don’t make the mistake of just measuring the table alone – you may need a size larger. Since the Veranda patio furniture cover sets are available online, you can avoid problems with returns by being cautious with initial measurements.

Another huge problem on my patios and patio furniture, aside from the elements, is the ever abundant (and not so friendly) bird droppings that if left, eat away at vinyl and plastic patio furniture and discolor and stain wood (even teak) and tarnish metal patio chairs. Before getting covers I also went through several patio cushions due to the un-toilet trained neighborhood birds.

Patio Furniture Covers for Protection

Prior to living in Spain, I spent many years in Asia where I had (in one home) two patios and where without patio furniture covers my teak lounge chairs and other furniture wouldn’t have lasted one monsoon or typhoon season, not because of storms and high winds, but just the daily constant drizzle and moisture in the air during certain months.

outdoor patio furniture sets made of wicker disintegrated before my eyes and literally turned into a pile of mush in less than 3 months. A patio furniture cover is well worth the price because otherwise every year or two (or less if it’s rattan or whicker) you find yourself wanting to buy new chairs and tables because even the plastic resin patio furniture becomes stained, mildewed and often cracked and unstable after a very short period of time if left exposed.

Covers To Slip on and Off

One of the things that is annoying about having to cover patio furniture is that they must be put on and taken off of each item, and so many of us will get lazy and not do it every night as we should.

There is a great solution to having to individually stretch a cover over each piece of patio furniture, and that is using a table and chair covers that are combined into one easy to toss covering over all the items together. All you have to do is set the furniture together and plop the cover over the group and you’re done. When shopping for them, they have many names but the most common is a patio set cover and they will come in specific sizes depending on your furniture models.

There are exact covers to perfectly match most of the common styles and brands, even the smaller bistro tables and chairs or the long lounge teak or resin sets that are odd shapes to cover.

An outdoor patio furniture cover for any kind of furniture should allow you to have like-new chairs and tables year after year, not to mention the fact that when you go to sit on your outdoor patio furniture they will be clean and not full of leaves, bird droppings, moisture, blackened with mildew or covered with fuzzy green mold or moss.

An outdoor furniture cover needn’t be a difficult thing to put on and remove quickly, and furniture covers needn’t only be for winter or inclement weather, but can be used at night or during the week when you spend less time outdoors. Slip them on, slip them off. Make it a habit.

Even if you have a patio that is covered and has a roof which extends over your porch or over a deck or patio area that appears to get less direct sun and rain, the furniture may still some added protection from wind and moisture and even subzero temperatures that can make patio chair cushions and other outdoor furniture becomes cracked, crinkly or crisp and not nice to sit on.

Covers can also protect fabric cushions without having to bring them inside every night.
