The most basic type of garden and patio furniture is the garden table and chairs. Even with our unpredictable British weather, we insist on having a patio dining set in our garden, so that if the sun does appear for even a short spell, we can quickly take advantage of it.

 

Also the garden table and chairs form the basis of our outdoor entertaining.

 

The set pictured opposite is a cast aluminium six seater table and chairs with a parasol and a lazy susan on the table.

 

Despite the lack of sun and continental style weather, we adorn our gardens with such furniture.

 

The drawing opposite represents the coverage given by a weather proof cover. It totally envelopes the furniture to be covered.

 

This type of cover provides the best weather protection possible, short of moving the furniture indoors for the winter season.

 

Garden furniture covers are weather proof, to the extent that they exclude almost all moisture, and allow condensation to 'breathe' back out to the atmosphere.

 

These covers also cover right to the ground to avoid rain splashing back and damaging the lower legs of the furniture, and a draw cord keeps them tight around the table and chairs so they do not blow open in windy conditions.

 

If your prized garden table and chairs are to be stored outside in winter time, a weather resistant cover is a must, as it will prolong the life of your furniture, and preserve it's new furniture look for longer.

 

Ebay offer many covers, a selection of which is shown below.

 

Whatever your size, shape or style of garden table, there is a cover for you.

 

So many garden centres and outdoor furniture stores who supply patio and garden furniture, also supply a range of covers to allow you to store that furniture outdoors over the winter.

 

Woven polyethylene covers provide a near weather proof solution to outdoor winter storage of patio furniture.

 

They are surprisingly inexpensive also. The large cover pictured is just over GBP 20.00 and will probably last as long as the furniture itself, and give it protection to prolong it's life and looks significantly.

 

There is a wide selection of such covers on Amazon and also in your local store. In the absence of space in a garden shed or garage to store your garden furniture, this type of cover is a very good option.
