Custom Patio Furniture Covers

custom patio furniture covers are available in many different styles and sizes. You can find covers in everything from the almost plastic like fabrics to the ones that look and act like canvas but a much less heavy and are resistant to mold and mildew.

Unfortunately, no company makes custom patio furniture covers that are made of the same materials as car, boat and motorcycles covers. The ones are serviceable but the cheap ones are little more than glorified plastic trash bags.

If you are curious why there is even a market for cheap custom patio furniture covers it is because some patio furniture, especially rustic or custom made is not a standard size. So the only way to get fitted covers is to either make them yourself or to buy custom made covers.

Good covers need to be made of a water proof and moisture resistant material that can �breathe�. Mold and mildew will destroy fabrics and can damage wood surfaces and eat away finishes.

Most of the better custom patio furniture covers are constructed of fleece-backed vinyl. These are heavyweight, reinforced patio furniture covers that have been designed to last through years of wind, rain and snow. The weight of these patio furniture covers along with Velcro� straps will keep them secured to your furniture. Most of the companies use vinyl that is al least 7mil. Thick. To that they add anywhere from a 2 to 4 ounce fleece polypropylene backing. After the backing is compresses into a flat sheet, it is then laminated onto the vinyl. This process ensures the fleece won't
come off on the furniture.

A good custom patio furniture covers will provide protection from Ultra violet light, severe cold and polymer chemicals to ensure that the vinyl will not crack when exposed to the elements and will stay soft and pliable for the life of the covers. All of the hems should be heat sealed with grommets to keep the Velcro tie downs secure even in windy conditions.

Like I said in the beginning, I would prefer that my furniture covers be made of the same material that my motorcycle is made of. The bike can sit outside all winter and the chrome doesn�t rust, because the cover is moisture resistant but breathes so any moisture that forms from condensation inside the cover dries quickly.
