What if I have a complex product to cover?

Most objects our customers are covering are fairly basic shapes such as cubes, cylinders, triangles..ect. However, some objects are a bit more complex and its a good idea to take a picture of the object and email it to ALCO. You can mark it up using Microsoft Excel or any program that allows you to draw on the picture. You could also hand sketch your design and email it to us. In either instance, simple or complex you can use our online form.

Water-Resistant Seams

When buying custom furniture covers for your patio, you want to be sure it will keep your possessions safe, clean, and dry. But, did you know when you sew, the holes the needle creates in the fabric can leave your cover susceptible to leaks? Big box stores don't tell you their covers can leak at these stitching points in heavy rain. So, at the seams you get drip marks on your furniture. That is why ALCO offers water-resistant stitching sealing which covers the stitching on the inside of the cover so rain and moisture can't get in and damage your furniture.

Our Covers Are Water-Resistant

While our covers use high-grade vinyl to stop water pools from penetrating it, we cannot guarantee moisture from seeping in through the seams. To completely avoid trapped moisture, it is advisable to choose a cover which has a tight fit and is a few inches shorter than the covered item (for air circulation). Another thing you could do is place an air bag at low points of the cover. By doing that, you will create an incline which will allow water to safely run off

Use Vinyl And Not Fabric Covers

The best protecting against water is found in vinyl covers which ALCO specializes in. Vinyl allows water droplets to bead up and slide down the furniture cover before it has time to soak through due to the slick surface. Polyester blends are also common, but their waterproofing treatment can wear off or ends up becoming brittle and then cracking. This allows water that sits on the cover to drip through or the cover stays wet after it rains. The resulting exposure could mean you spend even more on a new cover or on replacing or fixing damaged furniture. Nearly every patio furniture cover on the market claims it is waterproof, but when put to the test, most people find that “waterproof” means it only stands up to a slight drizzle. When the rain really starts to fall, your furniture can get soaked. It is important you pick a material that can withstand heavy rains. Alco offers only high-grade vinyl that holds up to the elements!

Tie Downs And Splits

Standard off the shelf covers often are lacking ties to secure the patio furniture cover.  But what happens when the weather is accompanied by high or gusty winds? With no means of keeping the cover tied down or tightened at the base the cover could blow away. If you are not home at the time your cover and your cushions could be blow away and the furniture exposed to the elements. This could result in thousands of dollars in damage and the need to replace the furniture. For this reason, it’s important to ensure you purchase furniture covers that provide secure ties for each leg on every piece of furniture.
