The best garden furniture covers, compared.
Top pick: RICHIE 200 × 160 × 71 cm 500D Best value: Aoretic 180 × 120 × 74 cm – About £6.79 with its own 4.6 from 2,424 reviews, a vent and tape. Tear comments keep it off the top score. Updated October 2026.
A garden furniture cover is a textile shell over a patio set, a sofa, a cube or a round table. In the UK you buy one because the furniture is already outdoors. You recognise a suitable cover by the stored measurements, the shape and a hem you can pull tight. Cloth slogans come after those checks. Measure length, width and height with the chairs pushed in, at the widest and highest points. The cover should be a little larger than the furniture, and not so loose that wind fills the spare cloth. More than about 15 cm spare on one side is usually too much. A rectangle, a round, a shallow sofa and a small cube are different products. A sentence about dining sets does not change a small cube. Read the fastening rather than the word windproof. Treat waterproof as the seller's coating and seam claim. Denier is yarn thickness, not a waterproof grade. Dry the furniture first and bring cushions indoors. The order of those checks is in the [garden furniture cover buying guide](/hub/garden-furniture/garden-furniture-cover/sub/garden-furniture-cover-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What have you measured?
The second RICHIE is 200 × 160 × 71 cm at £27.99 and only 500 g, sold as 500D with extra-long side vents, taped seams, four corner buckles and two side straps. The title says grey, the colour field says black, and a bullet describes a black and grey cross-weave. The closure row says zipper, while the bullets describe straps rather than a zip as the main fastening. The star line is 4.7 from 61 reviews, the smallest sample here. Early comments like the straps, handles and vents, and also say the cloth was lighter than a 500D title led them to expect, and that the price felt high. Care says no machine wash and no dry clean. There is no storage bag listed. It is a vented 200 cm option only if you accept the colour clash and a 61-review sample.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a vented 200 × 160 cm cover and you have checked whether grey or black will be sent.
Less suitable: You want a large review sample, a stated storage bag, or the £15.19 cover at a similar footprint.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the 500D RICHIE cover grey or black?
The title says grey. The colour field says black. The bullet describes a black and grey cross-weave. Those three strings are all on the listing.
What does the zipper row refer to?
The closure row says zipper. The bullets describe corner buckle straps, side straps and extra-long air vents, not a zip as the main fastening. No storage bag is listed.
The BEEWAY 200 × 160 × 73 cm cover is £15.19 and lists 420D Oxford, taped seams, a large air vent, two side buckles, four bottom buckles and a drawstring. In practice that is a mid-size rectangle for a dining set with the chairs pushed in, if your stored footprint sits inside those centimetres. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 3,875 reviews, and the same block appears on the 125 cm and 242 cm BEEWAY ASINs, so that count is not buyers of this size alone. Shared comments praise the straps on a dining set and also say one cover was slightly smaller than advertised. The dimensions row prints 74 cm height against 73 cm in the title, a 1 cm clash you should not average away. A bullet tells you to put something tall in the middle so rain does not pool on the lid. It is the top pick in this folder for a rectangular set around 200 × 160 cm, because the fastening and seam claims are the most complete at this price, with the shared star line as the limit.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a rectangular dining set that sits inside about 200 × 160 × 73 cm and you want straps as well as a drawstring.
Less suitable: You need a round table, a 90 cm cube, or a size verdict that is not shared with the other BEEWAY ASINs.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the 4.6 rating only for the 200 cm cover?
The listing shows 4.6 from 3,875 reviews. The same figure and the same review text are on the 125 cm and 242 cm BEEWAY ASINs. It is a shared line, not three separate samples.
What fastening does this size list?
Two adjustable side buckle straps, four bottom buckles and one drawstring, plus a large air vent. The bullets also say to put a tall object in the middle so rain does not pool.
The largest BEEWAY rectangle is 242 × 182 × 102 cm at £21.84 and 1.58 kg, with the same 420D cloth, taped seams, vent and buckle layout as the smaller sizes. That 102 cm side matters if chair backs or a tall sofa sit higher than the 73 cm covers in this set. The saved listing has no separate dimensions row, so the title is the only centimetre line you can check before you order. It shows the same 4.6 from 3,875 as the other two BEEWAY ASINs, and the review text is that shared block, including praise for straps and a line that a cover was slightly smaller than advertised. Those comments are not a 242 cm-only verdict. A cover this wide holds spare cloth if the set is closer to 200 cm, and spare cloth is what wind fills. Choose it when you have measured a large rectangle the 200 cm cover will not reach.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a large rectangular or L-shaped footprint that needs more than 200 × 160 cm and about 102 cm of height.
Less suitable: A round table, a three-seat sofa at 85 cm deep, or a set that already fits the 200 cm cover.
Specifications
Common questions
How tall is the large BEEWAY cover?
The title says 242 × 182 × 102 cm. That 102 cm height is taller than the 73 cm BEEWAY sizes. No separate dimensions row was in the saved listing.
Does the large size have its own review count?
It shows the same 4.6 from 3,875 as the 125 cm and 200 cm ASINs, and the saved review text matches. Treat that as one parent line.
BEEWAY’s small rectangle is 125 × 63 × 73 cm at £8.49 and 510 g, with the family layout of 420D cloth, taped seams, one large vent, side and bottom buckles and a drawstring. That footprint is a bistro table or a single small piece, not a four-chair dining set, even though the bullets use the same broad furniture list as the larger sizes. The title height is 73 cm and the dimensions row says 72 cm. The 4.6 from 3,875 is the shared BEEWAY line, and a shared review mentions a bistro fit, which is the size hint you can actually use. There is no separate complaint sample for this ASIN. A bullet still says to raise the middle so rain does not sit on the lid. It is the cheap small cover when your tape reads inside 125 × 63 cm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a bistro set or a small piece that measures inside 125 × 63 × 73 cm.
Less suitable: A rectangular dining set, a round table, or a sofa.
Specifications
Common questions
Is 125 × 63 cm a full dining-set cover?
The bullets use the same broad furniture list as the larger BEEWAY sizes. The printed size is 125 × 63 × 73 cm. Measure the set. This is the small rectangle in the trio.
Why does the star count match the other BEEWAY sizes?
All three ASINs print 4.6 from 3,875 and the saved listings share one review block. Use the centimetres, not the shared count, to separate them.
Aoretic’s 180 × 120 × 74 cm cover is the lowest price here at £6.79, at 870 g, with a claimed air vent, waterproof tape, a strap and hook-and-loop at the four corners, and a bag in the included components. Across 2,424 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.6, and that sample belongs to this ASIN rather than a shared parent block. Reviewers describe it holding a stacked sofa, chairs and a table on windy days, and several call the price good value. The repeated complaint is that the cloth is too thin and tears, with one reviewer saying it needs to be 600D. The bullets name both a PU coating and a PVC coating, while the material row only says standard material, so the coating words do not agree. One review used it on a hot tub, and the listing is a furniture cover. It is the best-value row when your set fits 180 × 120 × 74 cm and you accept a light 420D cloth.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Your stored set fits inside 180 × 120 × 74 cm and you want the lowest price with a large review sample of its own.
Less suitable: You want a heavier 500D or 600D cloth, or a round, cube or sofa shape.
Specifications
Common questions
What size is the Aoretic cover?
The title and the size bullet both say 180 × 120 × 74 cm. The bullet tells you to measure before you buy.
Which coating does the listing name?
One bullet says a PU coating plus waterproof tape. The durability bullet also says a PVC coating. The material row only says standard material. No denier other than 420D is printed.
AWNIC is a 3-seater sofa cover at 220 × 85 × 71 cm and £18.88, in 420D polyester at 670 g, with a stated 3500 mm water figure, a polyurethane coating, hook-and-loop, bottom snaps and a storage bag. No air vent is named, and no test method sits next to the 3500 mm line, so that figure stays a seller claim. Across 1,523 amazon.co.uk reviews the line is 4.6. Buyers report a fit on an outdoor sofa, rain held off, and fastening that stops it blowing away, and some mention a silver lining. The same file includes tears, a thin feel, and the need to strap a lightweight cover down. The rank node is Garden Sofa Covers. An 18-month limited warranty is stated on the listing. It is the sofa-shaped row when your three-seater sits inside 220 × 85 × 71 cm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a three-seat outdoor sofa inside 220 × 85 × 71 cm and you will strap the cover down.
Less suitable: A square dining set, a corner sofa that needs about 250 cm, or anyone who wants a listed vent.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a dining-set cover?
The title is a 3-seater outdoor sofa cover, 220 × 85 × 71 cm. The rank node is Garden Sofa Covers. A corner sofa is asked on the page and not confirmed in the bullets.
What water figure does AWNIC print?
The bullets say 3500 mm H2O and a polyurethane coating. No test method is given. No air vent is named. A storage bag is included.
SIRUITON is the large square, 250 × 250 × 90 cm at £33.99, the highest price in this set, in 500D Oxford at 2.29 kg, with taped seams, a zip vent, two drawstrings, waist buckles and four foot buckles. Reviewers with corner and L-shaped sets say the size is why they bought it, and several describe a thicker feel than thinner covers they had owned. The sample is 4.5 from 145 reviews, which is early next to the thousand-plus lines elsewhere. One review says the storage bag was missing, and the included-components row only says 1, while a bullet names a bag. The closure row says zipper, which matches the vent zip more than the straps. Photos are criticised for looking like a smaller set, and spare fabric is a problem if your footprint is well under 250 cm. It is the cover when you have measured near 250 cm square.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured an L-shaped or corner set close to 250 × 250 × 90 cm and you want the heavier cloth in this folder.
Less suitable: A 200 cm rectangle, a round table, or a budget under £20.
Specifications
Common questions
How does the SIRUITON vent open?
The bullets describe a dual-zipper opening that stays on the cover, plus one large vent. The closure row says zipper. Side fastening is two drawstrings, two waist buckles and four foot buckles.
Is a storage bag in the box?
A bullet says the cover comes with a storage bag. The included-components row only says 1. One review says the bag was missing.
Dokon’s cube is 90 × 90 × 90 cm at £17.99 and 660 g, in Oxford cloth with no denier printed, a nano coating claim, taped seams, air vents on two sides, four click straps, a hem cord, two side straps and a storage bag. The bullet lists dining tables and sofas, but anything larger than that 90 cm cube does not fit this size. The listing shows 4.4 from 10,081 reviews, a very large count for one cube, so treat it as a listing signal rather than proof about a different Dokon cover. Reviewers praise the straps in wind and early waterproofing, and a repeat buyer says earlier covers went mouldy and stopped shedding water. One buyer revised “not waterproof” to “it sweats” and wanted airflow. Water also pools if the hem is left loose. It suits a compact cube or coffee table you have measured.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are covering a compact cube, coffee table or small piece that fits inside 90 × 90 × 90 cm.
Less suitable: A dining set, a round table near 130 cm, or anyone reading the dining-table bullet as a size.
Specifications
Common questions
Will the Dokon cube cover a dining set?
The bullet lists dining tables, sofas and rattan sets, and the same bullet gives 90 × 90 × 90 cm. Anything larger than that cube does not fit this size.
What fastening and vents are listed?
Four click-close straps, a hem cord, two side buckle straps, and air vents on two sides. A storage bag is in the included components. No denier number is printed.
RICHIE’s 170 × 95 × 71 cm cover is £19.98 and 520 g, in 420D Oxford, with a drawstring and Velcro and no air vent or storage bag named. The bullets say a waterproof PU coating, while the water-resistance row says water resistant, and the dimensions row prints 95 × 170 × 70 cm, so the height differs by 1 cm. Across 2,325 reviews the line is 4.4. Buyers praise rain performance, including a thunderstorm mention, and Velcro that helps on a rattan sofa and table when the size matches. The same themes include a cover that was too small, Velcro that was not enough so weights were added, a storm that removed a cover taped at the corners, and rain that pooled on the flat top. Reviewers also say to bring cushions indoors for long storage. It can work for a narrow 170 × 95 cm set if you fasten the hem and empty the top.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a narrow set inside about 170 × 95 × 71 cm and you will fasten the hem and tip water off the lid.
Less suitable: An exposed garden that needs buckles and a vent, or a set wider than 95 cm.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the RICHIE listing say waterproof or water resistant?
The bullets say a waterproof PU coating. The water-resistance row says water resistant. Both strings are on the listing. There is no lab method in the saved listing.
How is the 170 cm cover held on?
The closure row says drawstring and Velcro. No air vent is named. The box line lists the cover only, not a storage bag.
Do the two size lines match?
The title and colour field say 170 × 95 × 71 cm. The dimensions row says 95 × 170 × 70 cm. Height differs by 1 cm, and the depth and width labels are swapped.
PATIO PLUS is a grey round cover at 130 × 71 cm and £30.49, the only 600D Oxford in this set, PVC-lined, at 1.39 kg, with mesh vents, four click buckles and a drawstring. The material row says polyester, and there is no taped-seam line and no storage bag. Across 1,642 reviews the line is 4.3. Buyers praise a fit on a large round table and six rattan chairs, and they call the clips practical. A review titled as easily ripped says it tore after a few months, so the higher denier is not a guarantee against a split. No hydrostatic head is printed. Harbour Lifestyle’s care guide warns that a PVC-backed cover can trap moisture on wood and rattan, which sits beside the lining claim. Choose it for a round set near 130 cm when you want the heavier cloth in this folder.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a round set near 130 × 71 cm and you want the 600D cloth in this folder, with buckles.
Less suitable: A rectangle or sofa, a tight budget, or wood and rattan you are trying to keep from a sealed PVC-backed shell.
Specifications
Common questions
What fabric does PATIO PLUS name?
The bullets say 600D PVC-lined Oxford. The material row says polyester. No hydrostatic head and no taped-seam line are in the saved listing.
How is the round cover fastened?
Four click-close buckles and a drawstring. Mesh-lined vents are also described as a handle. No storage bag is listed.
The black Funshot round is Ø130 × 70 cm at £20.99 and 400 g, in 420D Oxford with a PU coating, taped seams, two eyelets, a drawstring and a bag listed. No vent is named. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.3 from 684 reviews. Positive comments describe a circular table with four or six chairs and a cover that does the job when the hem is pulled in. Repeated complaints are a flimsy feel against the multi-layer pictures, a drawstring that is missing or hard to tighten, and the cover ending up on the ground in the wind. One review says it is not waterproof. At the same £20.99 as the green PE Funshot, this is the Oxford round rather than the tarpaulin one. At 400 g it is still a light shell, and there is no vent for damp air under the cloth.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a round table and chairs inside about Ø130 × 70 cm and you want Oxford rather than PE.
Less suitable: A rectangle, a site that needs a listed vent, or anyone who expected a heavy multi-layer cloth.
Specifications
Common questions
What shape and size does Funshot print?
The title says a circular cover, Ø130 × 70 cm. The bullets say to measure the round table or set before you buy.
Does this round cover include a vent?
No vent is named. The bullets name a PU coating, taped seams, two eyelet clasps and a drawstring. Included components say a bag.
The green Funshot is Ø130 × 70 cm at £20.99 and 470 g, and the bullet says PE rather than Oxford. The model number and the dimensions row say 71 cm tall, so the height line disagrees by 1 cm. No vent, taped seam or storage bag is listed, and fastening is a drawstring and loops. Across 218 reviews the line is 4.2, the lowest stars in this set. Short reviews call it waterproof and a fit on a round table, while others call the cloth cheap tarpaulin, expect about a season, and report a drawstring that broke on first use so the cover lifted in a small gust. One criticism is that there is only one tie. At the same shelf price as the black 420D Funshot round, you are paying the Oxford price for a PE shell. Buy it only if you have read PE on the bullet and your round set is inside about 130 cm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have read the PE bullet, you want a green round cover, and the table is inside about Ø130 cm.
Less suitable: You wanted 420D Oxford, a vent, or a hem cord you can rely on in a gust.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this the same cloth as the black Funshot round?
No. This listing’s bullet says PE. The black Funshot round, ASIN B0BVFW6MWD, says 420D Oxford. Both print Ø130 × 70 cm and £20.99.
Which height should you plan for?
The title says 70 cm. The model number and the dimensions row say 71 cm. No vent, taped seam or storage bag is listed.
Shelf prices, star ratings and review counts are the amazon.co.uk lines for the twelve covers in this comparison, captured on 19 October 2026. There is no lab test of waterproofing, UV, wind or condensation. A seller denier, millimetre or waterproof line stays a seller claim. Denier alone does not add points. A shared star line across the three BEEWAY sizes is one sample. A clash between waterproof and water resistant, or between two size lines, reduces the consistency block.
Weather kit
30%Fastening, an air vent, a seam claim and a storage bag, scored for a UK patio. A drawstring with no vent is a thinner kit than buckles, a vent and taped seams on the same listing.
Listing consistency
20%Size lines, water words, colour and closure. A 1 cm clash, waterproof against water resistant, or a grey title against a black colour field reduces this block.
Review evidence
30%Praise and the repeated complaint on that listing. Tear, storm-lift, pooling and sweating comments reduce the block even when the star line is high. A shared review text is not counted three times.
Price
20%Price against the same job in this sample. A low price helps only when the size lines match that job. It does not mean a light cloth outlasts a heavier denier.
Decide the stored size and the shape first, then the hem, then the coating claim. Denier is yarn thickness, not a waterproof grade. A seller line is not a soak test, and a star rating is not a wind test. Prices below are the amazon.co.uk lines in this file, captured on 19 October 2026.
A garden furniture cover is a textile shell over a patio set, sofa, cube or round table. UK buyers already own the furniture. The useful checks are a stated size that matches the stored layout, a hem you can pull in, and a coating claim you do not upgrade into a lab result. Oxford denier is yarn thickness. It is not a waterproof grade. Measure length, width and height in the position you will store the set, chairs pushed in, at the widest and highest points.
Measure length, width and height with the chairs pushed in. More than about 15 cm spare on one side is usually too much, and a short cover will not reach the chair backs.
A bullet that mentions dining tables does not change a 90 × 90 × 90 cm cube. Anything larger than that cube does not fit that size.
The three BEEWAY sizes print one 4.6 from 3,875. That is one sample. Do not add the counts, and do not treat a large cube count as proof about a different size.
The first check is the stored size. Measure length, width and height with the chairs pushed in, at the widest and highest points. The cover should be a little larger than the furniture, not smaller, and not so loose that wind fills the spare cloth. More than about 15 cm spare on one side is usually too much. A line that says the cover fits most sets does not replace a tape measure. Shape is the next check.
Waterproof on a bullet is the seller's coating and seam claim, not a soak test. A PU coating, a nano coating, PVC lining and taped seams appear on some listings and not on others. One listing says waterproof in the bullets and water resistant on the specification row. Those strings do not agree, so neither becomes a lab result. A water-column figure without a method stays a seller line. Denier is yarn thickness, a hint of weight and tear resistance, not a waterproof grade.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You already own a rectangular set. You need the centimetres with the chairs pushed in, and straps, before a fabric slogan. The BEEWAY 200 × 160 × 73 cm cover lists taped seams, a vent, buckles and a drawstring at about £15.19. The 4.6 from 3,875 reviews is shared with the other BEEWAY sizes, and the height row disagrees by 1 cm.
A round table needs a round cover. A rectangle will not sit on it. The black Funshot round is about Ø130 × 70 cm in 420D Oxford, with taped seams and a drawstring, at about £20.99. No vent is named. The green cover at the same price is PE, so read the cloth line before you choose it.
A three-seat sofa and a large corner set are not a 90 cm cube. The AWNIC cover is 220 × 85 × 71 cm, the sofa shape in this set, with a stated 3500 mm water figure, no method and no vent named. If you have measured closer to 250 cm square, read the large square listing instead of the cube.
The BEEWAY 200 × 160 × 73 cm cover is the top pick. It scores 76 in this set, at about £15.19, with taped seams, a vent, buckles and a drawstring. The 4.6 from 3,875 reviews is shared with the other BEEWAY sizes. Best value is the Aoretic 180 × 120 × 74 cm cover at about £6.79, with its own 4.6 from 2,424 reviews, a vent and tape. Tear comments and two coating lines keep it below the top score. Neither mark means the best garden furniture cover in the UK. Waterproofing was not lab-tested.
Aoretic 180 × 120 × 74 cm
About £6.79 with its own 4.6 from 2,424 reviews, a vent and tape. Tear comments keep it off the top score.
