Description

Platform benches feature flat seating surfaces and minimalist construction that create specific protection challenges. The horizontal top surface collects water more readily than angled furniture, while the clean-line design often lacks the curves and contours that help covers stay in place. A custom cover addresses the platform bench's specific proportions—the flat geometry, potential storage compartments underneath, and variations between backless platforms and benches with vertical backrests.

Why Choose Our Platform Bench Covers?

  • Measurements designed for flat-surface geometry prevent water pooling that damages platform furniture. Five precise measurements capture the bench's horizontal dimensions and height variations. Platform benches lack the natural drainage that curved or slatted furniture provides—water sits on flat surfaces unless the cover is sized to follow the exact perimeter without sagging. Custom sizing ensures the fabric extends properly over edges without creating depressions where moisture collects, addressing the primary protection challenge that flat-top furniture faces.

  • Durable construction handles the unique wear patterns of covering minimalist furniture. Platform benches typically have sharp corners and angular transitions rather than curves, creating contact points where covers experience concentrated wear. The 18 oz PVC-coated polyester withstands the abrasion that occurs at these angular edges, while reinforced stitching prevents the tears that develop when fabric repeatedly folds at right angles during installation and removal.

  • Ventilation placement addresses airflow restrictions in solid platform designs. Unlike slatted benches, where air circulates naturally through gaps, platform furniture creates a sealed space between cover and surface. Strategic vent positioning enables moisture to escape from underneath, preventing the condensation buildup that leads to mold growth on solid wood or composite surfaces. This targeted ventilation works specifically for the airflow challenges that flat, solid construction creates.

  • Sizing accommodates storage bench mechanisms without interfering with functionality. Many platform benches include lift-top storage compartments underneath the seating surface. Custom measurements account for these mechanisms while ensuring the cover protects the bench during storage periods. The cover removes easily when you need to access storage, then reinstalls to protect both the seating surface and the storage compartment lid from weather damage during non-use periods.

Use Cases:

  • Modern platform benches with flat surfaces vulnerable to water pooling
  • Entryway and mudroom benches exposed to weather at doorways
  • Minimalist garden benches left outdoors year-round
  • Architectural benches where aesthetics matter as much as protection
  • Poolside platform seating facing constant moisture exposure
  • Storage benches with lift-top mechanisms requiring coverage
  • Commercial and hospitality benches needing durable protection

Fabrics Information

Our platform bench covers use 18 oz PVC-coated polyester designed for flat-surface furniture. The water-repellent coating prevents pooling on horizontal platforms while remaining flexible in cold temperatures, and UV inhibitors protect against sun damage on exposed top surfaces.

Strategically positioned ventilation prevents moisture accumulation underneath the cover, critical for solid platform designs where airflow is naturally restricted. Reinforced stitching at corner points prevents tears, while the drawstring closure with industrial-grade cordlock maintains tension around the perimeter.

Ergonomic handles positioned for platform furniture allow easy installation and removal. The design accommodates various platform configurations, from backless benches to those with simple backrests, preventing wind from lifting the cover at the edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

Depth #1 captures variations in the bench's front-to-back dimension at different points. Some platform benches taper or have irregular shapes rather than perfect rectangles. The two depth measurements ensure the cover accommodates these variations. If your bench is a perfect rectangle with consistent depth across its width, both measurements will be identical.
Yes. Platform benches have solid surfaces that trap moisture underneath covers, while slatted benches allow natural airflow through gaps. Platform covers need ventilation systems that slatted bench covers don't require. The flat surface also changes how water behaves—it pools on platforms but drains through slats, requiring a different water-shedding design in the cover.
Proper measurements create slight tension that prevents sagging. The cover should follow the bench's edges without excess material that dips in the middle. If your platform has a perfectly flat top, even correct measurements may allow minimal water collection—this is unavoidable with flat surfaces. The waterproof coating prevents penetration, and occasional water clearing after heavy rain protects the cover material.
Always measure with the lid closed in its normal resting position. This gives you the dimensions of the bench that occupy during storage when you'll be using the cover. Measuring with the lid open creates dimensions that don't match how you'll actually cover the bench. If you need to access storage while covered, you'll remove the cover entirely rather than opening the lid underneath it.
No. Custom covers are manufactured with appropriate ease built into the pattern. Adding extra measurements results in a cover that's too large, creating the sagging and pooling problems you're trying to avoid. Provide exact measurements—the manufacturer accounts for installation clearance without creating excess material.
The cover protects the bench structure and lid from weather, but it's not designed to protect items stored inside. Storage compartments should be weatherproof independently—the cover prevents rain from damaging the wood or composite lid and seating surface. Don't rely on the external cover to keep storage contents dry; that's the bench's internal sealing responsibility.
Platform benches often use engineered materials like composite wood or metal frames that react differently to weather than traditional solid wood. These materials can be more resistant to moisture but more vulnerable to UV degradation. The flat surfaces and angular designs also shed water differently than curved traditional benches. Custom covers address these specific characteristics rather than assuming all benches face identical protection challenges.
