Protect against the elements with the best garden furniture covers

We spend a lot of time and money choosing the right garden furniture for our outdoor spaces, so it makes sense to invest in suitable weather protection. Garden furniture covers can help prevent rust and mould damage, and they allow us to keep our larger garden furniture items that can't be stored in the shed, outdoors.

There are lots of garden furniture covers to choose from so you can find a specific fit for all of your favourite garden seats and cooking equipment. Cover your parasols, hanging egg chairs and BBQs during the chillier months, and keep your rattan chairs and corner sofas in pristine condition so they're always garden party ready.

We've gathered eight different garden furniture covers, of varying shapes and sizes, so take a browse below, and make sure your garden furniture is prepared for the elements.
