bbq covers Why we recommend Breathable Furniture Covers

The first question is 'why cover furniture at all?' Although the materials used in the manufacturing of furniture last a long time, they are still subject to the elements. That means that not only will they wear more quickly but they will require more maintenance and cleaning. Covering furniture greatly extends the life of patio furniture while protecting them from acid rain, dust, bird droppings, sap, and airborne pollutants.

Covers protect patio furniture from the sun. However, materials that are not breathable trap moisture and heat under the cover. Vinyl covers with cloth backing trap heat and moisture inside their cloth layer. The combination of moisture and heat provides the ideal conditions for the growing of many types of mold and mildew, which result in harm to the furniture and, potentially, to its users. Click here for more information. Fortunately, breathable materials eliminate this problem since heat and moisture can 'breath' through the material. As moisture evaporates, the furniture is cooled reducing the likelihood of mold and mildew growth.

bbq covers How to Measure

BBQ's and Grill covers

Measure the front and back height of the grill from the ground. Then measure the complete width and length.

Table and Chair Sets

1) Put all your chairs around your patio table in their normal positions.
2) Measure from the chair back at one end of the table to the chair back farthest away
    across the table. This is the diameter of the cover. This diameter will be significantly
    larger than your table measurement alone.
3) Measure the tallest chair's back height from the ground. A 'high back chair' is any chair
    with a back taller than 35".
4) Choose the cover that is the same size or slightly larger than the width you measured,
    with a 'skirt' length that is 2" to 6" shorter than your chair back measurement to allow
    ground clearance.

Typical measurements:

Measuring Notes

The proper size cover is necessary to get optimum performance from your new cover. Try to pick the smallest size that will meet or exceed the measurements you have taken.

If your cover is too large, it will sag, allowing water to accumulate. BBQcovers.com are designed to channel water off of your cover, but if the cover is too large there will not be enough tension for this design to work effectively.

If your cover is too tight, the places some areas may stretch out and deteriorate prematurely. Properly fitted covers will last longer than those that are either too tight or much too loose, so BBQcovers.com recommends taking the time to measure before ordering.
