For most of us who live in the temperate zones of the northern and southern hemispheres, summer cannot come fast enough. When summer does come, if it is not raining, we like to spend as much time as possible out of doors and as much time as possible in the garden, which is why so many of us have patio furniture.
There are several types of patio furniture and some are more comfortable than others, but the most hard-wearing and the most popular is garden furniture manufactured from hardwood. Unfortunately, hardwood is exactly what it says it is - hard wood. It can be fairly uncomfortable to sit on hardwood furniture for more than an hour.
The simplest way to get round this is to use outdoor throw cushions. These outdoor throw cushions can be merely indoor throw cushions, if you remember to take them in every day, otherwise they will soon begin to rot after the first time you leave them out in the rain. It is easier said than done to take the cushions in each night.
Therefore, it is worth giving some thought to making special cushion covers for your outdoor cushions. These cushion covers have to be waterproof and the zip fastener should be protected too so that water cannot enter through there either.
This can be accomplished by covering the zip with a flap, as used on normal bed pillows, and sealing it with Velcro. You could use poppers, but Velcro is easier and better.
If you are purchasing new garden furniture, you might get throw cushions supplied with the package. If not, and you would like to buy outdoor cushions at the same time, check them for waterproofness as mentioned above. The other thing to look out for is that the cushion covers match the style of the furniture and the type of garden that you have.
The covers of the garden outdoor throw cushions can be patterned or plain, but do consider the colours already in your garden. Is there a lot of colour from flowers or is green the predominant colour? And do not forget the colour of your garden furniture either.
You will also want to make sure that these cushion covers are washable, because they will get incredibly dirty fairly often, if you leave them outside. They will be rained on, splashed on, cats and dogs will sit on them and they might even blow around the garden unless you tie them down, which is not a bad idea. You could sew short ties onto them to hold them on the furniture while you are not using them.
If the covers are washable, then make sure that the colours on the cushions are permanent and will not fade or run. Lastly, a lot of materials will tolerate a couple months of sun, but some will not tolerate the freezing temperatures of winter, so remember to take them in for the winter months.
