Fitting a custom cover over an Adirondack chair on a porch, drawing it down over the wide flat arms

What This Is

A custom Adirondack chair cover is a waterproof cover cut to the exact shape of your own chair. The pattern follows the wide flat arms, the raked back and the sloping seat. Adirondack chair covers are made one at a time, from the measurements you send. There is no small, medium or large to pick between.

Adirondack chairs are not one shape. Wide flat arms, a tall fanned back, a seat that drops toward the ground. Every maker builds them a little differently, so a cover that fits one will not fit the next.

Cedar, teak, pine, painted timber or poly-lumber, these chairs live outdoors all year, on decks, porches, lawns and lakeside docks. If you need covers for a whole outdoor set instead, see our made to measure outdoor furniture covers.

Why Do Universal Adirondack Chair Covers Never Fit Right?

Because the chair is widest in its middle. The arms are the widest part of an Adirondack, about halfway up. Almost everything else outdoors is widest at the base.

So universal covers are cut narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. That is upside down for this chair. The cover fouls on the arms going on, then rides up and leaves the legs bare.

Then there is the size spread. Polywood puts its own Adirondack range at 34 to 44 inches tall, 24 to 33 inches wide and 24 to 38 inches deep. That is a ten-inch spread in every direction, across chairs all sold under the same name. Universal covers come in about two sizes.

Our free design service checks your measurements before anything is cut.

What Does an Adirondack Chair Cover Protect Against?

Water In The Seat

An Adirondack seat slopes down toward the back. Rain runs to the bottom of that slope and sits there. A cover shaped to your chair sheds it instead.

Freeze And Thaw

Water standing in the joints turns to ice and works them apart over a winter. Keep the water out and a freeze has nothing left to lift.

Wind-Driven Rain

Rain does not fall straight down in the open. Wind pushes it sideways, into the slat gaps and under the arms, where it sits and soaks in.

Sun And Greying

Bare timber silvers in UV and the grain lifts. NylonSafe®, our medium-weight 420D fabric, covers home and light commercial use; PVCArmour®, the heavy 1000D, high-exposure and commercial sites.

Damp In The Slats

A slatted seat holds water in every gap. Airflow vents are built into each cover, so moisture escapes instead of sitting against the wood.

Leaves And Sap

Wet leaves pack into the slat gaps and stain the timber long after they are cleared. The drawstring pulls the hem in around the base to keep them out.

Which Shape Do You Need?

Adirondack Chair Covers

The chair on its own. The cover has to be widest across the arms and taper both ways — up over the fanned back, down to the legs. Get that wrong and it either will not pass the arms or it rides up and leaves the base open. Arm span, overall height and depth front to back are what the pattern is cut from.

Adirondack Chair and Ottoman Covers

The chair with its matching ottoman standing in front. A chair-and-ottoman cover is the harder one to make, and the one universal covers get most wrong. A chair and an ottoman are two separate objects with open air between them, so a rectangular cover thrown over both tents across the gap. That tented span is the lowest unsupported point of the whole set, which is exactly where rain collects with nothing underneath to hold it up.

How Is This Adirondack Chair Cover Different?

  • 01

    Cut to Your Own Chair

    Not off-the-shelf sizes. Your own measurements become the pattern — arm span, height and depth, all of it.

  • 02

    Two Waterproof Fabrics

    Both are 100% waterproof. NylonSafe® is warranted for 3 years, PVCArmour® for 5 — doubled with the KuvrPlus warranty extension.

  • 03

    Fixings That Suit the Site

    A drawstring hem as standard. Add tie-downs and fasteners, elasticated corners or snap buckles for exposed spots.

  • 04

    HydroLok® Sealed Seams

    Stitched and sealed internally so water cannot get through the seam lines, with reinforcement at the high-load points.

When Do You Need a Custom Adirondack Chair Cover?

Most of all through fall and winter, when the chairs stand unused for months and the weather does its work. Our service is not for everyone, and that's fine.

You want protection that actually fits rather than something "good enough"

Focused on Immediacy

You don't need this if:

You replace covers every year

You don't mind your chairs aging faster

You're looking for the cheapest option available

Cost Over Time

Why Buy Once Beats Buying Three Times

A cheap cover isn't a cheap decision. It's a cheap decision made every two years — until the chair underneath it isn't worth saving.

How do I choose the right size cover for my Adirondack chair?
You do not choose a size. You send us your chair’s measurements and the cover is cut to them. There is no small, medium or large to pick between. Which measurements you take depends on your shape — the chair on its own, or the chair with its ottoman. The configurator asks for them one at a time. If your chair is an unusual pattern, send photos through our free design service. We will work the sizes out with you before anything is cut.
Will a cover fit my chair if it has wide arms?
Yes, and the arms are usually the reason an off-the-shelf cover does not. An Adirondack chair is at its widest across the arms, about halfway up. Most outdoor furniture is widest at the base, so most covers are cut narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. That shape is upside down for this chair. It catches on the arms going on, then rides up and leaves the legs bare. A cover cut to your own measurements is widest where your chair is widest.
Are Adirondack chair covers waterproof?
Yes. Both fabrics are 100% waterproof, all the way through. NylonSafe® is our medium-weight 420D fabric for home and light commercial use. PVCArmour® is our heavy 1000D fabric for high-exposure and commercial sites. Both use HydroLok® sealed seams — stitched and sealed internally so water cannot get through the seam lines. Fit matters as much as fabric on this chair. The seat slopes down toward the back, so a loose cover collects water at the bottom of that slope. A cover cut to your chair sheds it instead. You can compare both fabrics on our shaped cover fabrics page.
Can I leave my Adirondack chairs outside all winter with a cover on?
Yes. That is what the cover is for. The chairs stay where they are and the cover stays on through the season. Airflow vents are built into every cover, so moisture that gets underneath can escape instead of sitting against the timber. On an exposed site you can add snap buckles, which strap under the chair and hold against winter wind. One honest limit: a cover does not stop a hard freeze reaching the chair. What it stops is the standing water a freeze needs, and no water in the seat means no ice working at the joints.
Will the cover blow off in the wind?
Not if the fixing suits where the chair sits. Adirondack chairs are usually put out in the open — a lawn edge, a deck corner, down by the water. Nothing breaks the wind on any side. That is harder on a cover than a sheltered porch. Every cover has a drawstring through the hem as standard, which pulls it in around the base. For exposed spots you can add elasticated corners, grommet eyelets or snap buckles. Snap buckles give the strongest hold against wind lift. Pairing them with elasticated corners keeps the cover sitting neatly as well. The options are set out on our tie-downs and fasteners page.
Will a cover cause mildew on a wooden Adirondack chair?
Not if air can move under it. Mildew needs damp with nowhere to go, which is what happens under a plastic sheet thrown over a wet chair. Every cover we make has airflow vents built in, positioned to let moisture out rather than hold it against the wood. Two things help from your side. Let the chair dry before you cover it, and take the cover off during a dry spell now and then. A cedar or teak Adirondack left covered will outlast the same chair left bare.
Do you make covers for Polywood and other poly-lumber Adirondack chairs?
Yes. We cover poly-lumber chairs from Polywood and every other maker, alongside cedar, teak, pine and painted timber. The material does not change how the cover is made — your measurements do. Worth knowing: poly-lumber chairs usually run a little wider, with thicker slats, than a wooden chair of the same style. That is exactly why measuring your own chair beats picking a size off a shelf.
What warranty comes with an Adirondack chair cover?
It depends on the fabric. NylonSafe®, our medium-weight 420D fabric, is warranted for 3 years, extending to 5 with the optional KuvrPlus warranty extension. PVCArmour®, our heavy 1000D fabric, is warranted for 5 years, extending to 10 with KuvrPlus. Either way the cover is warranted against fabric degradation, seam failure and manufacturing defects for the full period. Full terms are on our warranty page.
How long does an Adirondack chair cover take to make?
Current lead time is 2–3 weeks from design approval. Every cover is cut to your measurements, so nothing comes off a shelf. We send you the design first. Nothing is cut until you are happy with it. That means the design stage moves at your pace, and the clock starts when you approve it.
