Weathermax™ to the Test
Durable, breathable, and fade resistant, WeatherMax™ outdoor fabric can withstand the elements of nature without compromising the style and beauty of your home. From patios to pools, WeatherMax™ covers provide unparalleled protection for furniture and accessories year round. Because WeatherMax™ fabric is manufactured with Solution Dyed Satura™, the material is both UV and water resistant, thus ensuring the long term color and strength retention of this innovative design.
We knew WeatherMax™ fabric was a step above our competitors, but we were interested in conducting field tests to see just how long WeatherMax™ could outlast the others. We took our outdoor furniture covers, along with our competitors' covers, to an independent testing facility in order to test both color retention and grab strength over the duration of 1500+ hours.
Not only did our results prove that WeatherMax™ is synonymous with quality, our covers retain their original color and form to always blend seamlessly with your decor!

Customer Testimonial
Just wanted to let you know I purchased the Weathermax "84" oval table and high back chairs cover" and "small table cover" last October from PatioFurnitureCoversUSA.com. In Frederick, Maryland this winter we measured snow in feet, not inches. We had blizzards, high winds, rain and cold weather. We had at least 5 feet of snow in February, all of which impacted my table and chairs out on my deck. We eventually removed the snow from the glass table and chairs covered by the Weathermax cover. The table and chairs were fine and the cover was as nice looking and flexible as the day we got it. Finally, the rain, warmer weather and sunshine have removed all the snow from our yard. The cover looks great. Unfortunately the other cover I had on my chaise lounge on my patio ripped even though it was just a year older. They both had the same amount of snow and punishing weather-so obviously the Weathermax could take what Mother Nature dished out this year! - Marianne E., MD
