When you've invested in quality outdoor patio furniture and grilling equipment like smokers and BBQ grills, protecting them from the elements becomes essential for maintaining their appearance and functionality. At Ace Hardware, we understand that your patio furniture, meat smoker and outdoor cooking equipment represent significant investments in your outdoor living space. That's why we offer a wide selection of outdoor furniture covers designed to shield your valuable pieces from weather damage year-round.
Why Outdoor Furniture Covers Matter
Using covers for patio furniture helps reduce wear and tear from weather exposure. Waterproof materials prevent moisture damage, while UV-resistant fabrics help minimize fading. Covers also keep dirt, pollen and bird droppings off your furniture, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. Many models include air vents to reduce condensation and straps to keep them secure in windy conditions.
Protection for Every Outdoor Essential
Our extensive collection includes covers designed for every piece in your outdoor living space:
- Dining set covers:Full coverage for tables and chairs together or individual pieces.
- Seating protection: Chair covers, love seat covers and sectional options.
- Specialty covers:Firepit covers, patio heater covers and umbrella protection.
- Cushion storage:Weather-resistant bags to keep cushions clean and dry during off seasons.
Ace also offers specially sized grill covers for BBQ smokers, meat smokers and traditional grills so you have protection for all outdoor equipment.
How to Choose Patio Furniture Covers
When looking for a cover for your patio furniture, there are a few things that are essential to the design that can help you make the most of your investment. Look for patio furniture covers with:
- Elastic loops to ensure a secure, protective fit
- Air vents to reduce condensation and wind lofting
- An elastic hem to assist with getting the cover over your furniture
- Tough water-resistant backed polyester fabric ideal for wet areas
What’s more, with many covers available in black and neutral light brown colors, you’ll find designs to suit individual furniture pieces and full sets that also complement your existing décor.
Do Furniture Covers Help Save Money?
While purchasing covers might seem like an added expense, they are one of the most cost-effective ways to protect your outdoor investments. Consider that replacing a damaged smoker or faded dining and seating sets can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. In contrast, quality covers typically cost a fraction of replacement prices and can extend furniture life by several years. By investing in proper covers, you're not just protecting appearances; you're preserving functionality and extending the life of your outdoor investments by years.
Choosing the Right Size and Style
Proper fit ensures maximum protection for your outdoor pieces. Measure your furniture and equipment carefully before selecting covers. A cover that's too small won't provide complete protection while oversized options can collect water and blow off in wind.
Many of our covers come in neutral colors like black and brown that complement any outdoor décor while maintaining a neat appearance when furniture isn't in use. Don't forget protection for larger structures like canopies and gazebos or outdoor heating equipment that also benefit from weather protection.
