EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR OUTDOOR FURNITURE

Autumn is just around the corner, and depending on your area of the country, the outdoor entertaining season is drawing to a close. For many folks it is the time to start thinking about winterizing the patio furniture. Most outdoor furniture is manufactured to remain outside for the winter, but taking precautions against the weather conditions will keep your patio set looking new for many years. 
When you're ready to winterize, you need to take a few steps to clean and store your furniture. It's important to properly clean your furniture before storing or covering it. Most manufacturers will give you instructions for your type furniture or cushion. Vacuum or shake off outdoor cushions, spot clean with mild detergent, and let them air-dry thoroughly before storing indoors or in a watertight cushion keeper for winter. Brush loose dirt from tables and chairs, then wash with mild soapy water. Once dry, move to storage or use protective covers, and you're finished for the season.
PatioandYards.com offers protective covers from Duck Covers and KoverRoos, made of state of the art fabrics to cover everything from furniture, tables, umbrellas and grills. 
KoverRoos
Outdoor furniture covers need to breathe so that moisture can escape, keeping mold and mildew from developing under the cover. KoverRoos use technologically advanced materials that are one-way breathable - moisture leaves, but dust and dirt can't get in. Water resistant and breathable, these covers are truly unique and the best that you'll find to protect fine outdoor furniture. Choose from four fabric choices.

KoverRoos Chaise Cover





Our patented 'drain through' system for table and chair sets eliminates puddling on tabletops and chairs. And our fastening system ensures a snug fit and eliminates sagging and water puddles. No water buildup to get on someone removing the covers - they go quickly and easily into their signature storage pouches. 

KoverRoos® are extremely lightweight, making them easy to put on, remove, and store. Our umbrella cover weighs a mere 10 ounces and is a breeze to put on. Like all of our covers, it easily folds up for storage. No rods to screw in or lose and no jam-prone telescoping poles. A chaise cover can be removed and stored in 60 seconds.

Every product, including our umbrella cover, has a storage pouch to store KoverRoos® right near the furniture. KoverRoos® are the only covers with this feature. Some of our chair cover pouches can even be conveniently attached directly to your furniture or used as a pillow.


To clean your KoverRoos® cover, just wipe and rinse. You can use a mild solution of warm soap and water. You can also safely wash KoverRoos® in a front-loading washer. Wash in cold water, do not use detergent, and hang to dry. Do not place your KoverRoos® in a dryer, as high heat can destroy the fabric. Always store your cover dry.




Duck Covers
Duck Covers use an innovative inflation design that helps furniture stay clean and looking as good as new. Combined with Duck Covers’ secure tie-downs, it’s the most reliable way ever to protect and maximize the life of your patio furniture

Our patent pending Duck Dome solution fits into the low points of your outdoor furniture and creates an elevated, dome-shaped surface under the cover to repel water and debris—much like water off a duck’s back. The Dome also creates superior airflow between the furniture and cover, eliminating the condensation that causes mold and mildew.

Duck Dome inflates in less than 90 seconds using our handheld, rechargeable inflator. Just secure the Dome to your furniture using its attached reinforced nylon tie-down straps, and place the cover over it. The Duck Dome comes standard with all Duck Covers.

Duck Covers come in wide variety of stylish, outdoor patio furniture covers—including covers for patio tables, lounge chairs, BBQ grills and more. Use our covers with our patent pending Duck Dome integrated air bag, and you’ll keep your furniture protected and looking great for years.

Duck Dome

Fast and Easy To Use. 

Duck Covers comes with a patent pending integrated Duck Dome airbag solution that prevents just this problem. Just place Duck Dome on the flat surfaces or low points of your outdoor furniture and use our rapid inflation deflation system. Duck Dome inflates in less than 90 seconds with our handheld, rechargeable inflator, creating a higher dome-shaped surface under the cover that repels water and debris



Prevents Mold and Mildew

Elevating the cover also creates better airflow between the furniture and cover to eliminate condensation, the leading cause of mold and mildew build-up.



Fits Securely
Unlike ducks, our covers don’t migrate. The Duck Dome airbag is held into place with four nylon tie-down ropes attached to the airbag. Simply tie them to your furniture, place the cover over the furniture and secure it into place. The Duck Dome comes standard with all Duck Covers.



Regardless of which company you decide on, you will not go wrong protecting your investment.  The best part is that your furniture will be clean, protected and ready for use when spring arrives next year!

  1. They appear to be very effective and practical furniture covers. I have used brands that are either too hard to secure in place or simply unreliable in that they end up having holes and damaging the furniture in the long run. I think these ones are worth considering.
