How to Make a Cover for a Curved Patio Set

Making your own patio furniture cover gives you the best fitting cover because it’s a completely custom design. This is especially great for more unique furniture pieces or sets with a lot of shape like our curved sectional. In our cover design, we secure the cover with a shock cord around the bottom, as well as with Velcro^® straps that wrap around the legs of the sectional to keep the cover secure, even in high winds.

When selecting the fabric for your patio furniture cover, look for a material that is both water resistant and breathable. Sunbrella^® Marine Grade and Sur Last^® fabrics are both great options for this project. Using a fully waterproof fabric, like a vinyl, is great for water protection but it won’t breathe. This allows moisture to get trapped underneath the cover, which can cause mold and mildew growth. If you want to use a vinyl fabric, we recommend installing vents in the cover to help with airflow.
