Benches are sold by the seat and covered by the inch, which is where most people come unstuck. There is no 2-seater size here — you send the width you measured and the cover is cut to it, whether that is a garden bench, a picnic or park bench, a high-back, a curved bench, or a storage bench with a lid that still has to open. The fabric is 100% waterproof PVC-coated polyester in two weights, ZIP Armor at 18 oz and 1000 Denier with a ten-year warranty, and ZIP Shield at 12 oz with seven. A long, low seat is the easiest thing on a patio for wind to get underneath, so every cover closes with a drawstring hem, straps or grommets.
You wake up early to retie your bench cover's straps, to check if your cover stayed in place or blew away in last night's wind, and repeat it every morning; sometimes just to see if water or snow has damaged your bench or it has survived. Generic covers may protect, but not like a custom cover. Custom outdoor bench covers save you from buying new covers every year — waterproof bench seat covers designed exclusively for you, based on the dimensions and preferences given by you, and hence made to last.
While these outdoor bench covers provide you with all-season protection, they don't ruin the look of your patio, unlike old, worn-out, faded covers. They add a sense of security to your outdoor space while maintaining the aesthetics of your setup. Choose the weight that suits your climate: ZIP Armor at 18 oz for harsh, year-round exposure, or ZIP Shield at 12 oz for moderate weather — both 100% waterproof, both cut to your bench's exact shape.
What a bench needs protecting from depends on what it is made of. Teak and hardwood benches silver and gray where UV strips the surface oils, and they hold damp in the grain long enough for mildew to take at the joints and the underside of the slats. Softwood benches go further and swell, then split along the seat boards after a freeze. Metal benches fail somewhere else entirely: water sits in the bolt holes and the welds, and rust starts at the fixings and works outward, long before the powder coat looks tired.
A cover cut to your bench handles all of it the same way — by keeping water off the surface and letting humidity out from underneath. The waterproof coating stops rain and snowmelt reaching the timber or the hardware, the UV-resistant fabric takes the sun load that would otherwise gray the wood, and the built-in air vents let trapped moisture escape rather than sealing it against the seat, which is what turns a well-meant cover into a mildew problem. Wood, metal, teak or resin wicker, the cover is measured to the bench in front of you.
We cut to the width you measure, not to a seat count — but if you are working out which bench you have, a 2-seater garden bench usually runs around 48 inches wide and a 3-seater around 60. Measure yours anyway; benches vary more than the labels suggest. Four numbers cover most benches:
High-back benches ask for two more, because the frame tapers: a back width, and both a front top width and a front bottom width. Storage benches use the same four as a garden bench, measured over the closed lid. Send the exact numbers rather than rounding up — the fit allowance is built in during production, and our design team checks every set of dimensions before the fabric is cut. Covering more than the bench? The rest of the set is measured the same way in our patio furniture cover collection.
All of our bench covers are 100% waterproof PVC-coated polyester — the choice between the two grades is weight and climate, not protection. ZIP Armor is 18 oz, 1000 Denier, carrying a 10-year warranty. ZIP Shield is 12 oz, carrying 7 years. Both are UV-stabilized against fade and cracking, both are air-vented, and both are cut to your bench.
Against snow, the fabric matters most: a bench cover carries snow load across a long span, and a thin uncoated cover sags under it until meltwater finds the seams. ZIP Armor is the grade to specify where winters are real. Against rain, fit matters most — an exact-fit cover keeps the top taut so water runs off the pitch of the seat instead of pooling on it. Against sun, the coating matters most, because UV is what fades fabric and grays the bench underneath it. Here is how the grades compare with a generic cover:
Each bench cover at ZIPCovers is designed with utmost precision and care. Unique shapes and sizes are handled with expert skill and precision. The following features make us different:
Our heavy-duty fabric is a PVC-coated polyester, offered in two weights: ZIP Armor at 18 oz, 1000 Denier, and ZIP Shield at 12 oz. Both are weather, fade, UV, tear, spill, and stain-resistant. The coating makes them waterproof and keeps them protected from harsh sunlight, heavy snowfall, and water seepage. Both are tough and highly durable, built to last for years.
We cater to every type and style of bench, irrespective of the type and shape. We provide all kinds of covers, including:
We just name it, and we design it for you. Request outdoor bench covers in any custom shape, and provide us with accurate measurements. Your cover will be made based on your exact dimensions and preferences.
These covers feature air vents to promote air circulation that prevents mold and mildew growth. Along with that, these are equipped with sturdy handles that facilitate easy installation and removal for a hassle-free setup. Tie-downs are where a bench cover is won or lost, because a long, narrow seat gives wind more to lift than almost anything else on the patio: add drawstrings, grommets at 6, 12 or 24-inch spacing, or buckle straps to hold the cover down through a gusty night.
All our bench covers deliver our promise of high quality and performance — backed by a 10-year warranty on ZIP Armor and a 7-year warranty on ZIP Shield.

Easy to Maintain and Clean These covers have done an excellent job resisting dust and pollen. The grommets make securing them simple, and the fabric still looks new after months outdoors.
Highly Reliable Weatherproof Cover The grill cover feels heavy duty without being stiff. It stays secure during storms and the color remains rich even under full sun. The order arrived earlier than expected which was a pleasant bonus.
Measurements Came Out Perfectly I double-checked the measurements before ordering, and I’m glad I did. The cover follows our U-shaped sectional very well and provides complete protection. The fastening straps are especially useful because our backyard gets strong winds.
Small Product, Big Difference Our outdoor ottoman was always the first piece to get dirty. This cover fits snugly, stays in place, and is simple to wipe clean. It also matches the sofa cover, which makes the entire patio look more coordinated.
The fit is close enough that the cover doesn’t sag badly or collect large puddles after rain. It protects the full chaise, including the raised back section. The fabric is sturdy but still flexible enough to remove without a struggle.
Our outdoor kitchen has an unusual counter shape, so we were nervous about ordering online. The finished cover fits surprisingly well around every section. It feels heavy-duty, and the reinforced stitching gives me confidence that it will last.
I wasn’t sure about the measurements for my custom piece, but the they walked me through the process step by step. They double-checked the dimensions before production and the final cover fits like it was made by hand for my furniture. Really impressed with both the service and the material quality.
We ordered the cover large enough to protect our dining table and chairs together. It fits exactly as planned and makes preparing for bad weather much faster. The water beads up nicely instead of soaking into the fabric.
Strong Material and Secure Bottom The cover fits our round fire pit closely and doesn’t slide around. The drawstring at the bottom is easy to tighten, and the material feels much more durable than the thin cover that originally came with the fire pit.
L-Shaped Sectional Cover — Much Neater Than Separate Covers: We previously used three different covers for our sectional, and the patio always looked messy. The custom L-shaped cover fits the entire sofa as one piece. It looks cleaner, stays secure, and saves us time whenever rain is expected.
Survived a Heavy Storm We had a strong storm a few days after receiving the cover. The straps held everything in place, and the sofa cushions underneath stayed dry. I also appreciate the handles because they make removing the cover much easier.
Built-In Grill Cover — Finally Found the Right Size Finding a cover for our built-in grill was nearly impossible. This one was made to the measurements we provided and fits the cooking area beautifully. It keeps dust, rain, and leaves off without looking bulky.
Custom Grill Cover — Great Fit Around the Side Shelves Our grill has wide side shelves, so standard covers always looked oversized. This custom grill cover fits closely without being difficult to put on. The fabric feels thick, the stitching is clean, and the straps keep it secure during windy evenings.
Much Better Than a Generic Cover The difference between this cover and our old generic one is immediately noticeable. It fits closer, looks better, and doesn’t form large puddles after it rains. The material and stitching both feel dependable, and removing it only takes a minute.
This grill cover arrived quickly and feels extremely well made. The material repels rain effortlessly and the drawstrings keep it steady during strong winds. My grill looks spotless every time I uncover it.
I like that this cover protects the couch without making our patio look messy. The fit is close and tailored, the fabric has a substantial feel, and it is easy to wipe clean. So far, it has handled rain and direct sunlight very well.
Worth Taking the Time to Measure Measuring the couch took a little extra time, but the finished fit made it worthwhile. The cover goes on smoothly, sits properly around the arms and back, and doesn’t bunch up. It feels like it was genuinely made for our furniture.
Stayed Secure During Strong Winds We regularly get strong winds in our backyard, and our previous cover would constantly blow off. This one stays securely in position and provides full coverage around the couch. It feels durable and has already handled several storms without any problems.
Our new patio couch was a big investment, and we wanted something better than a loose universal cover. The measurements came out right, the stitching looks strong, and the cover gives the entire seating area a much more organized appearance.
The cover feels much stronger than the inexpensive one we previously owned, but it is still manageable when putting it on or taking it off. The handles are useful, and the secure bottom keeps it from lifting whenever the wind picks up.
Our curved outdoor couch was difficult to find a cover for, so ordering a custom size made sense. The finished cover follows the shape nicely and doesn’t have a lot of extra fabric hanging around. It looks neat and professionally made.
Kept Our Couch Completely Dry We had two days of heavy rain right after putting the cover on, and our couch stayed completely dry underneath. The fit is accurate without being difficult to remove. I’m very happy with the fabric quality and overall construction.
Fits Better Than Any Store-Bought Cover I’ve tried several standard couch covers, but they were always loose and collected water. This custom cover fits our outdoor sofa perfectly and looks much cleaner on the patio. The material feels sturdy, and it stayed secure during a windy weekend.
