Shield Platinum Outdoor Cover for Wide Sofa Frequently Asked Questions
What size outdoor sofa does the Shield Platinum Outdoor Cover for Wide Sofa fit?
The Shield Platinum Outdoor Cover for Wide Sofa is designed to fit most wide outdoor sofas and deep seating loveseats. The cover measures approximately 86" W x 35" D x 24"/36" H, giving you generous coverage over the back, arms, and seat to help protect your patio sofa from the elements.
What material is this wide sofa cover made from and why is it different?
This cover is made from Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU), a high-performance material known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to oil, grease, solvents, chemicals, and abrasion. The fabric is both waterproof and breathable, helping to keep moisture out while allowing trapped condensation to escape—reducing the risk of mildew and fading on your outdoor furniture.
How does the Shield Platinum cover stay secure in wind and bad weather?
The Shield Platinum Outdoor Cover for Wide Sofa features an adjustable click-close hem cord that lets you cinch the cover tight around the base of your furniture on windy days. It also includes a patent-pending side window/handle that makes it easier to position and remove the cover while providing additional ventilation for air flow.
What protection does this cover provide against weather, UV, and temperature extremes?
This wide sofa cover is engineered to handle extreme outdoor conditions. The TPU fabric is waterproof, breathable, and UV resistant to help prevent fading. It withstands temperatures from -35°F to 350°F without cracking or melting, making it suitable for year-round use in both cold winters and hot summers.
What other design features help protect my outdoor sofa?
In addition to the durable, anti-tearing and anti-scratch outer fabric, the cover includes a soft velvet inner lining that is gentle on your furniture’s finish and cushions. A two-way ventilation system—combining breathable fabric with ventilation windows—helps limit trapped moisture and heat under the cover, further protecting your outdoor sofa.
How do I care for and clean the Shield Platinum Outdoor Cover for Wide Sofa?
Care is simple: periodically brush or hose off dirt and debris, then allow the cover to air dry completely before putting it back on your furniture. For heavier soil, use a mild soap-and-water solution and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners so you don’t damage the TPU coating or inner velvet lining.
