Outdoor Furniture Covers Restoration Hardware

Essential Elements of Outdoor Furniture Covers

Outdoor furniture should withstand the elements for years to come, especially if you make an investment in high-quality pieces. Restoration Hardware outdoor furniture covers are designed to protect your furniture from the sun, rain, dirt, and dust, but even the best covers will need to be refreshed or replaced over time.

1. Fabric

The fabric of your Restoration Hardware outdoor furniture cover is the first line of defense against the elements. Look for covers made from durable, weather-resistant fabrics such as Sunbrella, which is fade-resistant and water-repellent. Other options include polyester, canvas, and vinyl. Make sure the fabric is breathable to prevent moisture from building up underneath the cover.

2. Fit

A well-fitting cover will keep your furniture dry and protected, while a loose cover can flap in the wind and allow water and dirt to get inside. Measure your furniture carefully before purchasing a cover, and choose one that is snug but not too tight. The cover should extend to the ground on all sides to provide maximum protection.

3. Features

Look for covers with features that make them easier to use and more durable. These features may include:

Drawstrings or buckles to secure the cover in place
Reinforced corners and seams to prevent rips and tears
Vents to allow air to circulate and prevent moisture buildup
Pockets for storing cushions or other accessories

4. Care and Maintenance

To keep your Restoration Hardware outdoor furniture cover looking its best and functioning properly, it is important to care for it properly. Here are a few tips:

Clean the cover regularly with a mild soap and water solution.
Rinse the cover thoroughly with clean water.
Allow the cover to dry completely before storing it.
Store the cover in a dry, well-ventilated place.

5. When to Replace Your Cover

Even the best outdoor furniture covers will need to be replaced eventually. Here are a few signs that it is time to replace your cover:

The fabric is faded, torn, or ripped.
The cover no longer fits properly.
The cover is not providing adequate protection from the elements.

By following these tips, you can help extend the life of your Restoration Hardware outdoor furniture covers and keep your furniture looking its best for years to come.
