How does the cover stay fastened? My chaise + wicker chairs are on my roof deck, subject to wind and SoCal heat and sun.Definitely need secure covers.

There are long velcro straps that go across underneath the chaise or chair. My chaise is about the longest and widest one they make and the straps are adjustable and plenty long enough.

They have a small belt on each end that you tighten around the legs, but it only has one for one leg on one end and one for the opposite leg on the other end.

Is the deck covered (roof). The only issue I see is its exposed to the elements humidity, moisture etc. as far as it working properly I thinkin no modifications needed. I have one indoors and love it.

Both of our chairs were stored in the garage every night, but we've sinced moved and they now reside on the porch. There has been no warping or weathering as of yet. If you wanted to put a protective coat on, I think it would adhere as this is raw wood. But in my opinion it isn't necessary. We live in a more humid climate so please consider that. Dry weather may alter the wood, but I don't think it would. When it has rained I did cover them, but I also have left them uncovered a time or two, and they have not been affected. Hope this helps!

The cover is fine in the wind. You do need to secure the heater with the cover to something that will prevent it from falling over. I use my fence poll and a single string. Work well for me.

I bought 4 to cover my wood chaises with pads and they are excellent. Make sure to use the Velcro fasteners if you are expecting any windy conditions to ensure total coverage. I am in south FL and they have all worked beautifully in very bad weather.

Mine is under a pergola (which is attached to my deck) and have never had a problem with wind. I actually have 3 shades under there and not a problem all season.

I left two outside all winter. We had severe winds often. They are attached to my wood patio awning and a tree. No damage to the wood structure (built like a deck) however one of the shades tore at the corner. The other weathered everything and is still hanging.

There are 2 leg straps (which secure the head chairs). It was not enough to prevent the cover from moving, so I added 2 more straps and secured them to the table legs. If you have heavy chairs, you may not need to add straps.

Yes. Just so you know, one of the best purchases we have made. Our furniture still looks brand new. We put the covers on whenever a chance of rain or snow!

There are two buckle/straps (adjustable) that you secure once the cover is rolled. When not in use there are buckle connectors underneath to hold the straps in place.

I've had this installed for about two months now at the bottom of my deck out in the weather. It has been rained on several times including all last night and right now, and has been snowed on once. So far...so good. I have been thinking about rigging a cover for it though. I don't see it as flimsy really, considering the price.

We have our gazebo on the rooftop deck in Chicago (think windy city), while it is vented very well, in high winds it did start to shake and move, so we ended up screwing it to the deck and filling the hollow columns with sand (about 1 80lbs bag per column), the combination of the sand and the screws makes it rock solid. In the winter we take the canvas down so not to get snow build-up. If your not in as windy a place, you might just try the sand trick.

Good eye. I didn't notice that. We've had them for less than a year and have had no problems with them. Check with Amazon or the manufacturer here http://www.championcovers.com/servlet/the-Patio-Furniture-Covers/Categories

We own four of these chairs and the love seat. The love seat is outdoors but covered by patio. The chairs are outdoors and not under shelter. To date they have held up very well - including the cusion.

I bought the pair and hung a couple of chair swings on the covered patio. I can replace the chairs later with a porch swing later if I want.

You will definitely need some way of securing the 4 legs/corners of the canopy. I have mine on my deck and 3 of the 4 legs are secured to the spindles of the deck rail - and it has held up to torrential rains and heavy winds without any problems at all. But you will definitely need to have it secured somehow, either at the base of each leg or by the tie-downs at the four corners.

I have not yet looked into covers for my Strathwood-Griffen furniture yet. I have had it through one summer/fall and winter in Colorado. I draped it with some old blankets even though it was stored on a covered patio. I have rinsed off the furniture sans cushions and it dries well. The dirt that blows onto the cushions during windy days comes off easily with a gentle smacking. I did spray Scotchguard on the cushions when I first got them which probably helps. I have looked into covers through Plow & Hearth and Gardener's but haven't ordered yet.
