Garden furniture set covers buyers guide

A cover for your garden furniture set protects the pieces from adverse weather conditions, dust, mildew and the suns UV rays. Although the garden furniture sets sold by Hayes are fully weatherproof and can be left outdoors all year round covering them over the winter cuts down on the amount of maintenance needed in spring. All you have to do in spring is brush the furniture down with a soft brush to remove any grit particles embedded in the weave. Any wooden garden furniture will require treatment less frequently if the sets are covered when not in use. The first consideration is to make sure you know the size of the individual pieces as many of the covers are specific to particular styles of garden furniture. Some garden furniture sets have dedicated covers, if you are struggling to find one the correct size just call our Customer Services team via the Contact Us page and they will be able to find you a cover to fit. Just make sure you have all the measurements of the garden furniture. Make sure the cover you are considering is breathable, if there is not a good airflow around the garden furniture set there is a tendency for mildew and other moulds to grow. Although they will not affect the function of the furniture they can be difficult to remove and are unsightly. If the material from which the cover is constructed if fully waterproof make sure it has mesh panels or some other means of allowing the air to circulate. Make sure the covers shed water and that it is not allowed to pool as that is when it will seep through the cover. Place a bucket on the table to allow water to run straight off and make sure the covers are pulled as tight as possible. The cover must have some means by which you can fasten it securely around the bottom of the furniture, if it’s not secure you run the risk of losing it in strong winds. Buying a cover from a reputable brand could be more cost effective than a cheaper alternative, it will use more robust fabric, be better constructed and, in most cases, will come with some warranty. The fabric is also more likely be UV resistant, making it resistant to fading.

Are the covers for the garden furniture sets fully waterproof?

They are not 100% waterproof as they have to allow the furniture to breathe, which in turn discourages the growth of mould and mildew. The trick to keeping the furniture as dry as possible is to make sure the covers shed the water and don't allow it to pool, it is then that the water can seep through the garden set covers.

Is it essential to cover garden furniture?

All the garden furniture sold by Hayes is fully weatherproof and can be left outdoors all year round without being covered. However if you want to protect your furniture from winter dirt and bird droppings and ensure it lasts for longer in a pristine condition then it is recommended that you do cover it over the winter.

Do all the garden furniture sets come with free covers?

Unfortunately not, however a lot of the furniture does have dedicated covers which can be purchased separately. If there are no specific covers for your furniture some of the covers we sell could fit, so it is essential that you measure the pieces of garden furniture accurately. If you are unsure please call the Customer Services team on the number at the top of the website and they will be able to advise you if we have covers to fit your furniture.
