Best Garden chair protective cover

Many discounters regularly offer protective covers for garden chairs. These are relatively inexpensive to purchase, but they are also made of inferior materials, which tear quickly and then can no longer fulfill their purpose. If you decide to buy protective covers for garden chairs, you should rather invest a little more money in high quality. In the long run this extra price pays off and it is not necessary to buy new protective covers at least once every season. The tarpaulins from which the protective covers for garden chairs are made should be made of a strong and tear-resistant material and at best be interwoven with a reinforcing fabric. Buyers of protective sleeves should also ensure that the sleeves are UV-stable. Even if the protective covers are only rarely pulled on and off, the UV rays alone cause the material to become brittle and tear at the slightest touch. UV stability, which is certified in the package insert or on the packaging, prevents this. It can also be very interesting to make sure that the protective sleeves are frost-resistant. This means that the garden furniture can be stored outside even in the cold season and used at least occasionally if necessary. A circumferential nylon cord, with which the protective sleeves can be fixed, prevents the hoods from flying away in the slightest wind. At best, metal eyelets are worked into the material through which the nylon cords are pulled around the protective sleeves. This ensures a particularly secure fit.

When selecting the protective covers for garden chairs, it is important that the fit of the covers for the corresponding chairs is given. This means that the protective cover ideally perfectly envelops the garden chairs. At the edge there should be a space of five to ten centimetres between the protective cover and the garden chair so that optimum ventilation is possible. Especially when changing from cold to warm air, condensation water can quickly form under the protective cover and the result can then be mold growth. These problems can be avoided with a good fit and appropriate ventilation. However, the protective cover for the garden chairs should not be too large either, because then it can happen that it flies away in stronger winds despite being fastened with nylon cords. It is ideal to obtain the protective covers to match the garden chairs from the same manufacturer. It is important that the protective cover does not rest firmly on the upper edge of the garden chair. Depending on the materials, this can lead to a chemical reaction and the surface of the garden furniture can be damaged. For a permanent covering over a longer period of time it is recommended to use polystyrene parts as spacers.

High-quality protective covers for garden chairs require good care so that the value is maintained and the protective covers can reliably perform their tasks over a long period of time. Storage is important. When using the garden chairs, the covers should be stored in such a way that they are quickly at hand when it rains. Only when the chairs are dry can they be covered without the risk of mould growth. It is also important that the protective covers are only stowed when they are absolutely dry.

Regular and gentle cleaning is also important. Only special plastic care products should be used for this, or clear water should be used for low soiling.
