Can someone recommend the winter cover for this swing?

We live in Florida, so winter is not an issue. Sorry I could not be of help.

I have just installed the box and haven't been in winter weather with it yet. I am planning to install a sheet metal cover over it and will be o.k. if I keep it dry.

I believe I ordered one from Garden Winds, found them by a search on the part number replacement canopy. The first one I got did not fit but they replaced it and second one fit. It has lasted about two year leaving it out all winter, live in the Santa Barbara, CA area so not hard winters.

I use a vinyl tablecloth I turn the top upside down and it fits inside then I place the tablecloth on top . works for me and keeps the rain and snow out

I wondered the same thing before I bought this last year. I found a replacement canopy on the ShelterLogic website for $24.99. I didn't want to get stuck with another canopy that I couldn't replace the top. It also appears that a tarp with grommets might work as a cover, although I haven't tried it. I've only used mine for one season and the cover is still in great condition. I wish it was a darker color, though. http://www.shelterlogic.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=0c23cc52-9793-4244-887b-9e0c00a57642

Email WPIC Store - Customer Service at service2@wpinnacle.com. We just got a replacement cover from them. Our cover lasted three years and it started tearing because our neighbor's cats liked playing on it. Our gazebo is doing great, otherwise. We like it so well that we ordered two covers, just in case because we are confident the frame is going to last for a long time.Maybe we are lucky in our weather, we live in the LA area so we don't experience extreme weather, though the gazebo has done well under strong winds.Good luck!

I went to Lowe's and found one that was similar to this, but mine is huge. If you are going to let this sit outside, I would get some sort of waterproof cover because of it being metal, but if you are going to store it inside a shed or garage, I would just get a generic cheap cover.

We are using it on our uutside deck it will remain there throughout the year. We will cover it when the weather get cold and nasty. It may be a good idea to put a protective coat on it

It is large, and a bit cumbersome to move, but the awning does come off if needed. We are in the South, so snow is not a problem for us. Maybe you could store in under your deck to protect it from the snow? We LOVE this swing and use it all of the time. So glad we bought it.

It's about the thickness of canvas. It has withstood the snow and falling icicles of this season's very intense New England weather without damage to the cover or the air conditioning unit.

I would say that the design would be ideal for what you ask. However, there is one with a clear cover and would advise that one so as to let in as much light as possible. It is the same set up other than the cover and produced by the same people. I have both. The green covered one is good for what I need which is to shade seedlings. I then move them to the clear one for more light. During a winter light is weaker so the clear cover I would say is the one to get without a doubt for the purpose you have explained.

I have no idea about the Costco swing. We bought our swing from Lowe's, it seats three people. This cover is amazing, we've had it for three years or more and it really is still in great shape despite frost, heavy rains and some snow. Fits snug, ties, zips a great heavy material and tough cover. I hope it fits what you have, possibly this cover does fit full swings ? We are very please with this cover.

I have used a light weight blanket that fits over the top and down the sides. It is much cheaper to have a custom made cover. A sheet will also be useful for the cage and you can use the color the bird likes.

We only get a little of snow, nothing real heavy. Heavy snow could probably sink it a little?? We've had that cover for about six years and it is still in great shape. A little dirty from rain/ice collecting on the top but still sturdy and zippers working fine. I feel the snow would slide right off if the top of the swing if it is kept tilted. In fact we just put it on the swing the other day and it still feels like the waterproof is still there!!

I wanted to add to my last answer that the fabric is like one of those tarps they sell--if you look close at the fabric it has kind of a 'weave'. We think it's pretty sturdy and we always use some small bungee cords and wrap around the 4 legs to secure in the wind. It keeps water out real good and we only leave the swing out in the Spring, summer and fall months so the cover isn't used in the winter. Here in the northeast we get a lot of snow so we store the swing inside out porch at our camp.

Hi...Unfortunately there is not a weatherproof cover available. You might need to measure it and see if there is a cover from other patio furniture set that will work...sorry

I own this. I don't know the overall size but I can tell you it does cover a 3 seater swing comfortably. It is just a thin, flimsy plastic (not as thick as I had hoped) but it DID keep the snow off of my swing and we live in Michigan and had a ton of snow! One caution; due to flimsy nature of product it'll work only if you tie it down with rope or twine. Otherwise it'll fly away with wind. We tied ours down and were satisfied with it.
