Centre Post Umbrella Cover - 225cm High

Will the cover fade?

All of our outdoor covers have been treated with additives to slow the negative effects of UV ray exposure from the sun, including fading. However over time some effects will occur and you may notice colour fade during the life of the cover. The cover is primarily designed to block UV rays from the item being covered.

If I purchase more than one cover, will each cover be exactly the same colour?

Ready made outdoor covers are not guaranteed to always exactly colour match because many thousands of metres of fabric are used when making them, and these are not always from the same fabric cloth batch when colour dyed. There may be some colour variations in some pieces.

Waterproof -v- Water Resistant

Even though we have extensively tested the water resistance of the fabric, we do not advertise or sell our covers as “waterproof” because all covers are stitched with a needle (which creates small holes during the sewing process) including along the stitched seams. It is possible for water to penetrate these areas of the material.

The material has had 1200mm water-proofing treatment conducted which will become diminished from prolonged UV and weather exposure.  Water pooling can also degrade the water-proofing treatment and may soak through the cover if left for extended periods so if your cover is exposed to rain, ensure water can always freely run off your cover at any low points by raising them from underneath (eg. using strategically positioned cushions, a small upside pot or children's toy ball).

Additionally, 303^® Fabric Guard is an excellent product to prolong the life of your fabric covers, as well as cushions, umbrellas, awnings and carpet.  This easy to use spray gives unbeatable protection against soiling, water-based and oil-based stains as well as impede mildew formation.  303^® Fabric Guard will restore lost water repellency and stain repellency to factory levels and is recommended as the best fabric protectant by leading outdoor fabric manufacturer Sunbrella^®.  303^® Fabric Guard is available to purchase online with your outdoor furniture covers at Coverworld.com.au.

How much bigger can I upsize and still get a nice fit?

As a rule we suggest you can go up to 30cm bigger in length or width for a cover not to look too floppy, especially for large chairs and sofas.  A bigger cover is easier to remove and install than a tight fitting cover and some adjustments to the straps can assist.

I can't find a cover to match my table and chair measurements?

Remember, if you have space on your patio, chairs can be pulled out to take up the slack of a oversized table cover.  It is easier to install covers that are a bigger for large items of furniture.

What do I do if the cover has height excess?

As Coverworld's Premium Outdoor Furniture Covers have elastic in the bottom seams, the excess can be neatly folded away underneath the furniture item (if you are able to lift up the ends and tuck excess fabric away).  So, a modular style chair or sofa cover can be used for a small coffee table where the coffee table height is 40cm and modular cover height is 75cm.  Keep in mind, if you are using the cover in an area where the ground gets wet or holds moisture, your cover will be subject to any negative effects resulting from this.

What do I do if I can't find a table / modular cover with the right width?

Remember, if you have excess in length this will make up for what you lack in width.  The corners of the cover won't sit exactly on the edges but the cover will still go over the item of furniture and protect it. In these cases, go up in size or contact us for advice.
