How To Stop Your Garden Furniture From Blowing Away

At Chimes Home and Garden, we supply a wide selection of garden furniture that offers a unique look to your garden and conservatory. It is easy to move, and suitable for all weather conditions. However, when the weather gets windy or overcast, the furniture covers you use might get blown away. In this article, we will find ways how to keep your cover on without worrying about it.

Why Do You Need A Garden Furniture Cover?

Choosing one of our garden furniture covers is important because it keeps your garden furniture dry over time. It shields the furniture from stains and damage, ideal if you are hosting a garden party or a smaller social event. The furniture cover will protect the sofa from inevitable wear and tear. 

 

Our garden furniture covers are all weatherproof, making sure they are easy to clean if they suffer from dirt or weather conditions. As a result, you will enjoy the garden with minimal hassle. And, it is cheaper than replacing garden furniture, saving money in the long run. It creates a barrier with mould, mildew, and rust. If you have a busy lifestyle, the bonus of a furniture cover means you won’t have to clean it every few weeks.

Use Elastics to Keep Your Furniture Cover Safe and Secure 

Choose a sofa cover with breathable fabrics that give you cross ventilation. These covers are lightweight and complement rattan furniture well. However,  you will need added protection such as elastics that will keep the cover in place. Elastics are highly dependable and durable against the worst conditions. They cover anything from dining sets to cube sets, resulting in a versatile material. 

 

It is worth checking if the furniture can cover the desired material, so it is important to be sure that you will get a cover that fits your furniture. If you get a high quality cover, it lasts for numerous years.

 

If you have a 4 seater cube set, at Chimes, we have a secure cover that includes a uPVC polyester finish. This arrives in a handy carrier bag that you can store away when not in use. It also comes with elasticated drawstrings that are fastened tightly, protecting it from any weather conditions.

 

Drawstrings are a Minimalist Way of Protecting Your Dining Set 

If you have a dining set that is suitable for large family gatherings, invest in our 8 seater dining set. Made from a strong and durable polyester that gives you maximum longevity in your property.

 

The covers themselves are treated with a special compound called Weathertex, which repels any water from getting on the furniture. This cover is specifically designed to have a snug fit over your design over time, coming with secure drawstrings that are easily fastened. 

 

Drawstrings are a minimalistic way of ensuring the furniture cover remains in place for the long term. They are simple and easy to handle, available at affordable prices. 

Use Cover Clamps on Your Furniture Cover 

Another way of protecting your garden furniture is the use of cover clamps on your outdoor garden furniture furniture cover. This ensures that your design will be less affected by the wind so they stay in place in the long term.

 

What’s more, the covers are suitable because they fit on all our furniture while they stop the cover from ballooning and blowing in the wind.

Methods of Cleaning Your Garden Furniture Cover 

It is essential to clean your furniture cover a few times a year to make sure it stay protected for many years to come. To clean the furniture, avoid using harsh detergents, and only use a mild cloth and soapy water.

 

What’s more, use a fabric furniture cleaner that lifts the stains off the fabric, but make sure that the product is given enough time to penetrate the stain. Leave it on for around 15 - 30 minutes if it is a worn in stain, then wipe it with a damp cloth so it looks as good as new. 

Use A Bungee Cord 

Another popular option to secure your furniture cover is to use a bungee cord to tighten it. They are affordable and viable in gale-force winds, causing the furniture to stay still. Attach the cords and fit them straight into the ground, ensuring they are pinned down.
