OUTDOOR FURNITURE COVER GUIDE & CARE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT KIND OF FABRIC IS USED TO MAKE RH FURNITURE COVERS?
RH uses breathable, stain‑resistant fabric that’s highly resistant to water, mold, mildew, tearing and fading,
protecting furniture from dust and dirt, harsh ultraviolet rays and inclement weather.
HOW DO I USE MY RH FURNITURE COVER?
Furniture frames and cushions must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before covering.
• If possible, cushions should always be removed to protect against mold spores that thrive in damp environments.
However, your RH cover was designed for the cushions to be on the frame, with the back cushions laid flat on
the seat cushion(s), so if storing cushions is not an option, they will be protected by the breathable, stain‑resistant
cover if properly cleaned and dried.
• If your furniture has back cushions, lay them down flat on top of the seat cushions before putting the cover on.
This will ensure the cover fits properly.
• If your cover is for a dining table set, make sure all chairs are pushed in as far as possible before putting the cover on.
• For dining tables, coffee tables and side tables, place the included tenting device(s) on the flat surface before
putting the cover on.
Place the cover(s) over the furniture. Ensure that the long straps are at the back and the short straps are in the front.
If your cover has a zipper, unzip before placing over the frame, and then zip up once properly placed. Feed the long
straps under the furniture to the front, and secure the straps with the attached buckles. Tighten the straps for a
secure fit.
WHAT ARE TENTING DEVICES AND HOW DO I USE THEM?
Tenting devices are included with most coffee table, side table, dining table, dining table set and daybed covers. They
are designed to help water run off the cover instead of pooling on the large, flat surface. Tenting devices are placed on
the flat surface of the furniture frame before the cover is put on. The cover should sit over the tenting devices.
I ORDERED MULTIPLE COVERS. HOW CAN I TELL WHICH COVER IS WHICH?
On the front of the cover near the short strap and buckle, there are two labels; one of the labels has the name of the
cover, identifying which frame it fits.
MY COVER DOESN’T FIT. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
• Check the description label at the front of the cover (next to the short strap) to ensure that the cover is being
placed on the correct frame.
• If your furniture has back cushions, lay them down flat on top of the seat cushions before putting the cover on.
This will ensure the cover fits properly.
• If your cover has a zipper, make sure the zipper is unzipped. This will help the cover go over the frame more easily.
• If your cover came with tenting devices, make sure they are upright and placed on the flat surface of the frame.

WATER IS POOLING ON MY COVER. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
• Make sure all included tenting devices are upright and placed on the flat surface of the frame.
• Ensure that all back cushions are laid down flat on the seat cushion(s). The covers were designed to help water run
off by placing the cushions flat.
• Make sure the cover is pulled as far down as possible on the frame to prevent sagging on top, which could cause
water to collect. Secure cover with the attached straps and tighten to ensure the cover stays taut and in place.
• Check the description label at the front of the cover to ensure that the cover matches the furniture frame.
