How To Measure For Patio Furniture Covers

Measuring your patio furniture accurately is essential for ensuring a snug and secure fit for your covers. Follow these steps for a precise measurement:

Step 1: Gather Materials

You will need a measuring tape, pen, and paper or a notepad on your smart device.

Step 2: Measure Length and Width

Measure the length and width of the furniture, including any armrests, legs, or cushions. Record these measurements on paper or your notepad.

Step 3: Measure Height

For chairs and tables, measure the height from the ground to the top of the furniture, including any cushions or umbrellas.

Step 4: Round Up Measurements

Always round up your measurements to the nearest inch or centimeter. This will ensure a more secure fit and prevent the cover from shifting or being too tight.

Step 5: Measure Shapes

If your furniture has an unusual shape, such as a chaise lounge or sectional, you may need to measure the individual sections separately.

Step 6: Write Down Measurements Clearly

Write down your measurements clearly, indicating the length, width, and height of each piece of furniture. This will prevent confusion when ordering your covers.

Tips:

* Use a measuring tape that extends long enough to accommodate the size of your furniture. * If you have multiple pieces of furniture to measure, keep track of which measurements belong to which piece. * Take measurements on a flat surface to avoid any distortions. * If possible, have someone assist you with the measuring process for larger or unwieldy furniture. * Add a few extra inches to the measurements for a looser fit, if desired.
