Frequently asked questions about outdoor couch covers
1. Why do I need a special outdoor couch cover?
Outdoor couches are constantly exposed to the elements. A suitable cover reliably protects the upholstery and frame from rain, sun, and dirt.
2. Can upholstery remain under the cover?
Yes, as long as the cover is breathable and the couch is covered when dry, upholstery can remain under the cover without any problems.
3. How do I measure my garden couch correctly?
Measure the length, width, and height at the outermost points of the couch and allow for some leeway if a purely rectangular cover is sufficient for you.
However, among our sketch templates, you will find over 80 templates and are sure to find one that is suitable for your couch.
4. Are sofa covers windproof?
With suitable fastening systems such as drawstrings and straps, covers remain securely in place even in windy conditions.
5. Does it make sense to have something custom-made?
For unusual shapes, a custom-made product is ideal. If you're lucky, our custom-made product will fit: cover with 2 heights.
6. Does the cover also protect against UV radiation?

7. How do I store the cover when it is not in use?
The cover should be stored in a dry, clean, and airy place, folded up.
If you have problems with mice in your shed, it is better to store items in your apartment or house, as it is not uncommon for mice to eat food.
8. Can I use the cover all year round?
Yes, couch covers are suitable for year-round use. However, please remove the cushions in fall/winter.
Conclusion
A high-quality outdoor couch cover reliably protects garden couches from the elements, preserves the appearance of the furniture, and ensures long-lasting relaxation outdoors.
