Outdoor Furniture Covers

Give Your Outdoor Furniture Extra Protection With Quality Covers

Sun, rain, and wind can take a toll on even the toughest patio sets. That's where outdoor furniture covers come in!

At Amart, we stock a range of durable covers designed to shield your outdoor living space from the elements, keeping your furniture looking fresh season after season. Shop our best sellers online and score exclusive deals that protect both your investment and your budget.

Can covers help your outdoor setup last?

Covers act as a first line of defence against harsh weather conditions that wear down your furniture. UV rays fade fabrics and weaken materials, while rain invites mildew to take hold. Bird droppings and dust add to the mess, leaving you with constant cleaning duties.

Protecting your outdoor space with quality covers means less maintenance and more longevity. You'll save on repairs and replacements down the track. Plus, many furniture warranties require proper care, so covering your pieces gives you peace of mind that you're doing right by your investment.

Picking a cover that fits your furniture and routine

Finding a cover that suits your routine comes down to the way you use each part of your outdoor area. You might have lounge covers for lazy afternoons or 7-piece dining set covers for family meals, so the right match helps everything stay protected.

Consider these factors when shopping for high-quality protection:

• Material durability: Heavy-duty, water-resistant fabrics hold up better than basic tarps. Look for UV-resistant options if your furniture sits in full sun.
• Fit and function: Waterproof outdoor furniture covers for outdoor lounge sets differ from 7-piece dining table covers. Measure your setup to find the right match.
• Ease of use: Durable covers with drawstrings or ties make seasonal changes simple.

How to measure for outdoor furniture covers

A perfect fit means better protection and longer-lasting covers. Too tight and the fabric strains, too loose and wind gets underneath.

Getting your measurements right takes just a few minutes:

1. Measure the widest point of your furniture from left to right for the width.
2. Measure from front to back at the deepest section for the depth.
3. Measure from the ground to the highest point for the height. 
4. Add a few extra centimetres for breathing room, especially if you have extra-large or oddly shaped pieces.

What are the best covers for outdoor furniture?

The best cover depends on what you're protecting, may it be sun loungers, daybeds or just your outdoor cushions. At Amart, we stock options tailored to different furniture types so you get the right fit and features.

• Dining setting covers: Features PVC inner coating, breathable mesh panels, and a pull-string closure. Generously sized for seven-piece outdoor dining sets.
• Lounge setting covers: Protects four-piece lounge configurations with the same durable, weather-resistant design.

How to tie down outdoor furniture covers

Strong winds across Australia can turn unsecured patio furniture covers into sails. Properly tying down your covers keeps them snug and extends their lifespan.

Follow these steps for a secure fit:

1. Drape the cover over your furniture and position it evenly on all sides.
2. Locate the pull strings or tie-down straps along the bottom hem of the cover.
3. Pull the strings tight under the furniture base and tie them firmly in place.
4. For chair covers or smaller pieces, use elastic hems or buckle straps if included.

How to wash outdoor furniture covers

Keeping covers clean helps them last longer and keeps your outdoor setup feeling fresh. Light dirt often lifts with a quick shake, while deeper marks need a gentle wash.

You can hand-wash most styles and use a hose or a soft sponge with mild soap to spot-clean stubborn areas. This works for everything from a lounge cover to a table cover.

How to clean mould off outdoor furniture covers

Mould needs fast attention so it does not spread across the fabric. A mix of mild soap and warm water usually removes early spots, and you can repeat the process until the surface looks clear. Let the cover dry fully in open air to help prevent future buildup.

Should you use outdoor furniture covers in winter?

Winter in Australian climates brings frost, heavy dew, and windblown debris that can damage uncovered furniture. Moisture seeps into fabrics and frames, leading to mildew and rust over time.

Using covers during the colder months is one of the smartest moves you can make. A quality chair cover or outdoor table cover keeps your pieces dry and clean. Your outdoor sofa and dining sets will be ready to go when warmer weather returns, saving you from costly repairs or replacements.
