1. Measure the lounge footprint
Include armrests and chaise extensions. For L-shaped modulars, measure each run or choose a cover set designed for your configuration.
2. Fabric, UV and waterproofing
UV-stabilised polyester or Oxford fabrics with PU coating handle Aussie sun best. Dark covers hide dirt; lighter colours reflect heat but show dust.
3. Straps, vents and fit
Adjustable straps and drawcords stop wind lift. Vents reduce condensation. Avoid covers that drag on wet pavers and wick moisture into cushions.
4. Daily habits that extend lounge life
Cover overnight and during multi-day rain. Air cushions weekly in dry weather. Pair covers with furniture feet pads so water does not pool under legs.
