Protective Covers - Protect Your Garden Furniture All Year Round

A good protective coverwill extend the lifespan of your garden furniture by years. Whether you have a lounge set, garden table, parasolor garden set- with the right protective cover, your furniture will stay looking great and protected against rain, UV radiation, leaves, and dirt. At Loungesetland, you will find custom-fit covers for all lounge sets and garden furniture.

Why A Protective Cover Is Essential

Even the best garden furniture needs protection. Aluminum lounge setsmay be rust-resistant, but the cushions and frame will stay cleaner and look better with a cover. Wooden lounge setsand especially teakretain their color better and require less maintenance if they are covered during the winter.

Benefits of a protective cover:

• Protection against rain and moisture:Cushions stay dry, preventing mold growth
• UV protection:Prevents fading of cushions and materials
• Less maintenance:No dirt, leaves, or bird droppings to remove
• Longer lifespan:Your investment will last 3-5 years longer
• Ready to use at all times:Just remove the cover and enjoy immediately, no cleaning required

Protective Covers for Lounge Sets

For Corner Lounge Sets:A corner lounge setrequires a special L-shaped cover. We have custom-made covers for popular sets such as the Belito Lotte corner sofa(288x220 cm and 220x220 cm variants) and the Apple Bee Condor corner. Always measure your exact dimensions: length, width, and height.

For Chair-Sofa Lounge Sets:For a chair-sofa lounge set, you have two options: individual covers for each piece (sofa, chairs, table) or one large cover for the entire configuration. Separate covers are more flexible if you change the arrangement. Sets like the Belito Birminghamand Belito Juliausually come with separate covers.

For Small Lounge Sets:A small lounge setor balcony lounge setrequires a more compact cover. Please note: even if the set is small, the cover must fit over the armrests and back cushions, so always measure the highest points.

• Breathable material:Allows moisture to escape to prevent condensation
• Reinforced seams:Double-stitched at critical points
• Drawstring/Velcro:Keeps the cover in place during wind
• Ventilation openings:Extra air circulation prevents mold

Choosing the Right Size

Step 1: Measure your furniture

• Length: longest point of your set (including armrests)
• Width: widest point (often the depth of the sofa + chairs)
• Height: highest point (usually the backrest, not the seat)

Step 2: Add 10-20 cm

A cover should fit loosely so that you can easily pull it over the furniture. Too tight = tearing; too loose = blowing away. 10-15 cm of extra space on each side is ideal.

Step 3: Check the shape

Corner sofas need L-shaped covers, rectangular sets need rectangular covers, and round tables need round covers. Never order the wrong shape - it simply won't fit.

Common sizes:

• Small lounge set:200 x 200 x 80 cm
• Chair-sofa set:250 x 200 x 80 cm
• Medium corner sofa:220 x 220 x 80 cm (L-shape)
• Large corner sofa:288 x 220 x 80 cm (L-shape)
• Dining table 6 person:200 x 100 x 80 cm

When Should You Use A Protective Cover?

Always in winter (October - March):Even all-weather furniture needs protection against frost, snow, and prolonged rain. Especially important for wooden setsand cushions.

During long periods of non-use:Are you going away for 2+ weeks? Cover your set. Even in summer, this protects against dirt and unexpected downpours.

During extreme weather conditions:Heavy storm forecasted? Better to cover up and bring cushions inside.

NOT necessary:When using it daily during summer months (May-September), you do not need to cover it. Modern all-weather cushions like BEE WETT® can withstand a light shower. However, covering at night does help against dew and dirt.

Maintenance of Your Protective Cover

A cover also needs maintenance to last a long time:

• Regularly brush off:Remove leaves, twigs, and dirt
• Wash 1-2 times per year:Lukewarm water with mild soap; do not machine wash!
• Dry thoroughly:Always let the cover dry completely before storing it
• Storage in summer:Store in a dry place away from the sun in a storage bag
• Check for tears:Repair small tears immediately to prevent further damage

Combining Covers with Other Accessories

You get maximum protection by combining covers with:

• Bringing cushions inside:Even with a cover, it is better to store cushions indoors during the winter
• Using risers:Elevate your furniture slightly so that water does not pool under the cover
• Closing parasols:Close parasols before you put the cover on
• Cleaning furniture:Clean furniture before covering - dirt under a cover acts as an abrasive

Protective Covers & Warranty

Did you know that many manufacturers provide a longer warranty if you can prove that you protect your furniture properly? For Apple Beeand Belitosets, using covers is often a condition for full warranty. Always check your warranty terms!

Frequently Asked Questions About Protective Covers

Can furniture mold under a cover?Only if there is poor ventilation. Always choose breathable covers with ventilation openings. And never cover wet furniture - let it dry first.

Can I use a cover on wet cushions?Better not to. Let the cushions dry first or bring them inside. Wet cushions + sealed cover = mold risk.

How long does a cover last?Standard covers: 3-5 years. Premium covers: 5-8 years. Heavy-duty PVC: 8-10+ years. This depends on maintenance and weather conditions.

Do I need a separate cover for each piece?For chair-sofa sets, that is more convenient because you remain flexible. For fixed corner sofas, one large cover is easier.

In addition to protective covers, we also recommend:

• Parasol covers- Protect your parasol against fading
