Custom Patio Glider Covers Made to Your Glider
ALCO makes custom patio glider covers to fit the height, width, and depth of your glider loveseat or chair. We design each cover to fit over the back, arms, and rocking base, ending just above the ground. At ALCO, all our covers are designed from heavy 18 oz or 12 oz vinyl. With these covers, your glider loveseat or chair frame and cushions will get protection from rain, snow, sunlight, pollen, and bird droppings.
Choose the most suitable style for your glider and enter its measurements. The cost of a 52 inches 12 oz vinyl glider loveseat is about $125, including free shipping when your order is worth above $85.
Covers for Glider Chairs and Rockers
Single glider chairs and rocking chairs have tall backs and moving bases, meaning a regular chair cover may slide off or ride up. We design our custom covers to match the chair's full height and depth. This ensures the back, seat, and base of the chair are covered while hanging neatly to the floor.
- A 12 oz vinyl 26 x 30 x 42 in. glider chair costs about $92
- The 18 oz vinyl option costs about $103
- Shipping takes about 10 to 12 work days
- The 18 oz vinyl options come with a lifetime warranty.

Common Questions
How do you keep a metal patio glider from rusting?
You can keep a metal patio glider from rusting by keeping it clean and dry, washing off the dirt and pollen, repairing chipped paint before rust develops, and ensuring the glider is covered when it is not in use. A waterproof cover helps protect the metal frame from rain and snow.
Can a patio glider stay outside in winter?
Yes, a patio glider can stay outside in winter if it's made of metal or resin and it's properly covered. All you need to do is bring the cushion inside, then lock out snow and ice using a waterproof cover to protect the frame and moving parts.
Is it okay to leave patio cushions outside in winter?
No, the best recommendation is to bring them inside. You need to protect them from rain and melting snow using a waterproof cover if you leave them on the glider. Ask for free air vents to let moisture escape.
Will a regular loveseat cover fit a patio glider?
A regular loveseat cover can fit a patio glider, but they don't fit well in most cases. This is because glider backs are often taller, and the rocking base sticks out past the seat, making a standard cover ride up or slip off. Meanwhile, a custom cover is designed according to the height, width, and depth of your glider, making it fit securely.
How do I measure a patio glider for a cover?
To measure a patio glider for a cover, start by measuring the height to the top of the backrest, then measure the width from one arm to the other, then measure the depth at the base, and the arm height while the glider is still, not in motion. Enter your exact sizes; there's no need for you to add extra inches. We do that when we are making your cover to ensure proper fit.
What is the best material for a patio glider cover?
The best material for a patio glider cover is heavy-duty vinyl. Our 18 oz vinyl comes with a lifetime warranty, and it's 100% waterproof. 12 oz is a little lighter, costs about 12% less, and comes with a 10-year warranty.
We needed a complete set of covers for our bar patio furniture and we had a lot of different shapes and sizes to cover. We needed covers that would not look over-sized and sloppy so ALCO was the perfect solution. We could make the covers to our exact sizes and the quality of the material far exceeded what we expected. Thanks ALCO!!!!

It was hard finding custom covers and we looked all over to get covers that would fit our furniture. ALCO had just what we we were looking for and at a reasonable price. In the end the covers worked great and looked marvelous. The ordering process was smooth, it shipped on time, and they look great! Well worth the money!

We have purchased outdoor furniture covers from a retail store before. The stitching came apart shortly after installation. These covers are what we should have purchased from the get go! You get what you pay for and the ALCO cover is still working after years of use. We are back now for more covers for new furniture. Can't recommend them more!

We had a hard time finding a cover for our odd L-shaped sectional. ALCO made it easy to order and the quality is better than we expected. Could not recommend them more! The quality is much better than all the other fabric furniture covers you find online. This is the same material that is used on trucking tarps! Its Strong!
