What kinds of material should we choose for the grill’s cover and the furniture’s cover?
When selecting a cover for your grill or your outdoor furniture, choosing materials that are durable, weather-resistant, and suitable for outdoor use is essential. Here are some common materials to consider for both grill and furniture covers:
- Polyester: Polyester is a popular choice for grill and furniture covers. It is lightweight, resistant to fading and UV rays, and offers good water resistance. It’s durable.
- PVC-Coated Polyester: These covers are made of polyester fabric with a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) coating. JSLOUTLIVIN recommends buying PVC-coated polyester covers for your outdoor grills/chimineas/garden furniture as it is lightweight, resistant to fading and UV rays, and offers good water resistance. They are highly waterproof and provide excellent protection against the elements. PVC-coated polyester covers are generally more rigid and durable.
- Vinyl: Vinyl covers(PVC covers) are known for their excellent waterproofing capabilities. They provide strong protection against rain, snow, and moisture. However, be sure to choose high-quality, thick vinyl resistant to cracking or tearing.
- Canvas: Canvas covers are sturdy and often made from cotton or a blend of cotton and polyester. They are breathable, which allows air circulation and prevents mold or mildew formation. Canvas covers treated with waterproof coatings offer good protection against moisture.
- Oxford Fabric: Oxford fabric is a woven material known for its strength and durability. It is often made of polyester and has a textured appearance. Look for covers made from 600D or higher denier Oxford fabric for enhanced resilience and resistance to tearing.
- Ripstop Nylon: Nylon covers, particularly those with ripstop construction, are lightweight yet tear-resistant. They provide good water resistance and are easy to handle and store. Nylon covers are suitable for portable or smaller grills.
- Polyethylene: Polyethylene covers protect larger furniture pieces, such as outdoor sofas or dining sets. Look for covers made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for added durability. They are lightweight, waterproof, and resistant to UV rays.
When choosing a cover material, consider the specific needs of your grill or furniture and the climate in your area.
