Will this cover fit my outdoor chair?

Yes. It is made from the measurements you send for the chair you own, not a size band stretched across several. Pick the shape closest to your chair, measure it with the guide for that shape, and the cover is designed to those numbers. If you have the shape but are unsure of your measurements, use the free design service and send a photo with them — we draw it up for you to approve before anything is made. If nothing on the configurator looks like your chair, contact us first .

Are your outdoor chair covers waterproof?

Yes, fully waterproof, not shower-resistant. Both fabrics are waterproof right through, and every seam is finished with HydroLok® sealed seams: stitched, then sealed on the inside so water cannot pass through the seam lines. NylonSafe® is 380gsm 420D nylon for home and light commercial use; PVCArmour® is 550gsm 1000D PVC for exposed sites and commercial use. See both fabrics side by side .

How do I measure my chair?

Choose the shape closest to your chair in the measuring guide section on this page and follow its lettered diagram. On most shapes A is the total width, B the total depth and C the total height. The letters after that depend on the shape: the height to the arm or the seat, the width of the backrest, or the depth of a back cushion. Measure the chair itself with nothing added for room: we add 25mm (1in) to the width and depth ourselves, and nothing to the height.

What if my chair has arms?

Chairs with arms and armless chairs are two separate shapes on the configurator, each with its own guide. A chair with arms is measured to the top of the arm, an armless one to the top of the seat, and the two covers are cut differently around the sides. Pick the shape that matches the chair you actually own.

Can you cover a reclining garden chair?

Yes, with or without a footrest. Each is its own shape with its own guide . Measure it upright, with the back where it normally rests and the footrest closed. If it spends the winter laid back or folded, tell us in the notes and we will design the cover for that position instead.

Will the cover blow off in the wind?

A drawstring hem is standard and pulls the cover in under the seat so the wind cannot get beneath it. For a chair on an exposed terrace you can add elasticated corners, grommet eyelets or snap buckles . Snap buckles with elasticated corners is the pairing we reach for when a chair sits somewhere windy but still needs to come off quickly.

Does the cover stop condensation underneath?

It reduces it. No outdoor cover can promise to stop condensation altogether, and you should be wary of any manufacturer that tells you otherwise. Airflow vents are built into every shaped cover to let moisture out while keeping rain from getting in, so damp is not trapped against the frame or the cushion. Condensation can still form when the temperature swings quickly, when humidity is high, or when a chair is covered while it is still wet, and an occasional wipe-down in those conditions is normal. A sealed cover with no vents is how mould grows underneath. More on condensation and airflow .

Do I need to take the cushions off first?

No. The cover is shaped to whatever you measure, so measure the chair the way it will be when the cover goes on. Cushions staying out, measure with them on. Cushions coming indoors, measure without them.

How long will the cover last?

NylonSafe®, our waterproof fabric for home and light commercial use, carries a 3 year warranty. PVCArmour®, the heavy-duty fabric for exposed and commercial sites, carries 5 years. The KuvrPlus warranty extension takes those to 5 and 10 years. Full terms are on the warranty page .

Can I have covers for a whole set of chairs?

Yes. Order one cover per chair and each is made to that chair's measurements. If the chairs are identical, one set of measurements covers them all. If you want the table covered too, that is a separate outdoor table cover .

Do you cover chairs that stack?

Yes. A stack takes one tall cover over the whole stack rather than one cover per chair. Pick the chair stack shape, with arms or without, and measure the stack as it stands, including how far it leans back.

How long does delivery take?

Each cover is made to order once you approve its design. Current lead time is 2–3 weeks from that approval, and the design stage moves at whatever pace suits you.

Waterproof patio chair covers on two garden chairs, beside a matching covered parasol

What This Is

A custom outdoor chair cover is a waterproof cover built from the measurements of one particular chair, so it follows that frame and nobody else's. Nothing is picked off a size chart.

Outdoor chairs are the furniture few people bring in. They sit out through the season, under the tree, beside the pool, taking whatever the week brings. A cover only earns its place if it fits the chair that is actually out there.

For the table and everything else on the patio, see our wider range of patio furniture and leisure covers.

“Our chairs and couch are under a fully covered patio. Hot summers and NO snow in winter. These split open at the arms as though they are brittle at about 1.5 years. Note, the beige color also becomes extremely dirty and needs to be blown off regularly.”

Why Do Universal Outdoor Chair Covers Never Fit Right?

A universal cover is sized to the widest part of a chair and usually little else — the arms, or the seat if there are no arms. That is the one place it is ever pulled tight, and it is where one reviewer's cover split at the arms, at a little over a year.

But a chair is not one measurement. If you are buying a standard size, does the size guide ever ask how wide your backrest is?

The top of the cover hangs off the back like a shirt on a wire hanger. The spare fabric slides down into the seat, the one flat surface a chair has. Rain gathers in that slack and sits there, pressing down on the seat below.

Wind finds the same slack at the back and fills it like a sail. The hem lifts, the cover climbs, and one gust takes it off. That is how a pack of universal garden chair covers ends up in a heap against the fence after the first windy night.

What Does an Outdoor Chair Cover Protect Against?

Six things wear an outdoor chair out: standing water, rust, damp, sun, wind, and what drops from the trees above it.

Puddles in the Seat

A sling or woven seat dips in the middle, and rain collects in the dip. A cushion on top takes that water in and holds it.

Rust at the Welds

Steel chairs rust at the welds and where the feet stand in the wet, because water lingers longest in those joints. The powder coat lifts there first, and the orange follows.

Damp & Mould

Cushions, slings and woven seats stay wet long after the frame has dried. Mould starts in the seams and the weave, where the sun never reaches.

Sun & Fading

Sun bleaches cushions and powder coat on whichever side faces it. Resin turns chalky and brittle, and bare teak goes silver-grey inside a summer.

Wind

Wind does not blow a chair clean. It drives grit, leaves and petals down into the seat and the joints, and the grit works into the weave until it is part of the fabric.

Birds & Sap

Chairs end up under trees, beside feeders and along fences where birds perch. Droppings etch timber and stain fabric, and sap from the branches above sets hard on the seat.

Which Chair Do You Have?

There is no standard outdoor chair, so there is no standard cover here either. Find the shape closest to yours below and its measuring guide opens with it. If nothing matches, contact us with a photo and the measurements and we will design one around it.

Dining Chairs With Arms

A straight back, a curved back, or a barrel back that sweeps round into the arms. The cover runs down the arms to the front legs and takes in the backrest at its own width, not the width of the arms.

Armless Dining Chairs

A straight back, or an open back with a gap above the seat. With no arms the seat is the widest point, so the cover is shaped to the seat and narrows to the backrest above it.

Sofa Chairs & Recliners

Deep-seated patio armchairs with loose cushions: armless, square arm, rolled arm or a curved tub, and the garden recliner with or without a footrest. They are wider and deeper than a dining chair, and the cover follows the arms and the back cushion rather than a slim frame.

Stools & Bar Chairs

A round stool, a square one, or a bar chair on a single pedestal. A stool has no back to fit around, so the cover drops over the seat and follows the legs down to the feet. That is why a stool guide asks for the width at the feet as well as the seat.

For a whole dining set, you can cover each chair here, or put one cover over the table with the chairs pushed under. Which suits depends on how far your chairs actually tuck in.

What Happens to an Uncovered Outdoor Chair?

An uncovered outdoor chair ages from the seat outwards, and slowly enough that nobody notices until a guest goes to sit down.

How Is This Outdoor Chair Cover Different?

01

Shaped to the Back, Not Just the Arms

The width of the backrest is what shapes the top of the cover, so it sits close to the back instead of hanging off it. We work from that, plus the total width, depth and height, and the height to the arm or the seat. Nothing goes into production until you have approved the design. Here is how the design service works.
02

100% Waterproof — Not Shower-Proof

Waterproof garden chair covers earn the name at the seams as much as the fabric. NylonSafe® is a premium waterproof fabric for home and light commercial use. PVCArmour® is heavy-duty, for exposed gardens and commercial terraces. Both carry HydroLok® sealed seams — stitched, then sealed inside so water cannot follow the stitch line. Compare the two fabrics.
03

Held Down at the Seat

With the back shaped to its own width, there is no spare fabric up top for a gust to fill. The standard tie-down is a drawstring hem, pulled in under the seat rail to hold the cover there. On an exposed terrace you can choose a stronger one instead: elasticated corners, eyelets or snap buckles.
04

Built to Stay Out

Airflow vents let damp escape from under the cover, so the seat dries out. EZ handles — grab handles built into the vent structure — lift it off in one move when you want to sit. Both fabrics are UV-stabilised. The corners and fixings are reinforced, where the cover takes the most strain. A duffel bag stores it when it is off the chair. The full list is on the built-in features page.

When Do You Need a Custom Outdoor Chair Cover?

Not every outdoor chair needs a custom cover. It comes down to how long the chairs stay out and what they cost you.

Focused on Longevity

This cover is right for you if:

Your outdoor chairs stay out all year and you want them dry enough to sit on the first warm day

You have already bought covers for outdoor chairs that blew off or held a puddle in the seat

The chairs are teak, powder-coated steel or woven resin, and worth more than a new cover every season

Focused on Immediacy

You don't need this if:

Your outdoor chairs are plastic ones you would replace before you would cover

They fold flat and live in the garage between uses

You want something on them by Saturday and any size that roughly goes over will do

Why Buy Once Beats Buying Three Times

Do you cover chairs that stack?: Yes. A stack takes one tall cover over the whole stack rather than one cover per chair. Pick the chair stack shape, with arms or without, and measure the stack as it stands, including how far it leans back.
How long does delivery take?: Each cover is made to order once you approve its design. Current lead time is 2–3 weeks from that approval, and the design stage moves at whatever pace suits you.

Customer photo review of Clear Kuvr Custom

We bought these clear tarpaulins to enclose our open terrace area, and they have been a great addition to the house. The clear plastic lets in plenty of light, so it doesn't feel dark or boxed in. The zipped door in the middle is super handy for walking in and out without taking everything down. Looking out in the morning, it makes a huge difference. It traps the overnight warmth and blocks early morning chills, making the space warm enough to sit out in comfortably. They do a brilliant job of stopping wind and rain, keeping the whole terrace dry and draft-free. Our outdoor sofa, cushions, and artificial grass stay completely dry, so we don't have to drag everything inside when it rains. It also gives us an extra sheltered spot to sit outside with the lights on, even in bad weather.
