Stacking Outdoor Chair Cover

What this cover is

A stacking outdoor chair cover is a simple way to keep a pile of chairs clean and dry between uses. This one is made of 210D Oxford polyester, a woven fabric that stands up to rain, sun, dust and wind. It is waterproof, UV-resistant, dust-proof and wind-proof, so your chairs are ready when you are.

The cover is built for stacked chairs, the kind you tuck against a wall or roll into a corner after a cookout. It slips over the top and down the sides, then stays put with a drawstring hem, a toggle and buckle straps.

Material and weather protection

The fabric is 210D Oxford polyester. That weight is a good middle ground: sturdy enough for daily outdoor use, light enough to handle when you put it on or take it off.

Four kinds of weather are covered:

• Waterproof: rain and snowmelt run off instead of soaking in.
• UV-resistant: helps limit fading from strong sun.
• Dust-proof: keeps pollen, dirt and yard debris off the chairs.
• Wind-proof: the drawstring and straps hold the cover down on breezy days.

Colors and pack options

Black blends into most patio setups and hides dirt well. Gray is a lighter, softer look that pairs with pale furniture and light decks. Each order is a 1 pack, so buy one cover for each stack of chairs you want to protect.

How to fit and use it

1. Stack your chairs the way you normally store them. Keep the stack neat so the cover sits evenly.
2. Pull the cover over the top of the stack and let it fall down the sides.
3. Pull the drawstring hem snug and slide the toggle to lock it.
4. Clip the buckle straps so the cover stays in place on windy days.
5. Check the cover after storms. Shake off pooled water or leaves so the fabric can breathe.

This cover is for stacked chairs. If you store chairs one at a time, a single chair cover is a better fit. If your stack is taller than the cover, split it into two shorter stacks.

Care and storage

Care is quick. Rinse the cover with water, then let it dry fully before you store it. Do not pack it away damp, since trapped moisture can cause odors or mildew over time. A quick rinse at the start of the season also clears dust and pollen.

When the cover is dry, fold it loosely and keep it in a dry spot. At the end of patio season, give it one more rinse and a full dry, then store it for next year.

Why a cover helps

Outdoor chairs take a beating from sun, rain and dust. A cover cuts down on wiping, scrubbing and early wear. It also keeps cushions and frames free of tree sap, bird droppings and pollen. For a small price, you get less cleanup and more time sitting outside.

This cover works for home patios, decks, balconies and yards. It also suits rental spaces, clubhouses and any spot where chairs sit outside between events. The plain look fits in without drawing attention.
