does this cover keep furniture dry?

We only use it to keep it covered in the Winter, and it does keep it dry. We actually put a couple of buckets on top of the table to make a tent, to keep water and snow from pooling on top since the chair tops are higher than the table. It is a nice heavy cover, we have used it fro two winters now. We did get one strap ripped off this year, but that was because it was tied on loosely and a gust of wind picked it up like a sail.

This is an absolutely wonderful product. This was the first winter (Midwest) for the cover and it held up very well and it kept our furniture dry and clean. I would recommend it to everyone, I will also be looking for a few more covers for the rest of our furniture.

Yes, as far as I saw. Our metal patio set survived one harsh and typical Iowa winter with no signs of moisture damage.

Yes, and it's easy to tie down and untie, when the weather keeps changing! I found it to be very well made and it keeps the water off the furniture too.

Frank I have had mine in the rain and see no evidence of staining or run off. Nice cover.

Sorry Kate, can't help. We have only had the furniture about a month, live in Florida and the furniture is in a screened in protected area. I would think if it is covered it should hold up for you.

Yes, it stays dry and you can put a lock on to keep animals from opening it.

I'm not sure if it can get wet since it is wood. I don't really like any wooden furniture to get wet since water will usually damage it, but it definitely works for a small space.

No. It's hard to keep things dry when it's raining hard but this box does a good job. You can see in the picture that the top has sides to it that cover the bottom section. It does pretty well at keeping the rain out. I am pleased with it myself.

It is, and it kept my cushions dry very well. The only issue I found is the water pooled in the center and so things would get wet as I removed the cover. Ours has finally bit the dust so I'm looking for a replacement, however if I can find one that has a hole in the middle (maybe for an umbrella) I may get that one, just so the water can drain out.

We never had an issue, however we live in North Carolina. Didi you ever consider covers? They may help.We have them on when we do not use the furniture to protect the cusions from the hot sun.

Try opening the flap further and holding it more open with something. Might consider taking a trick and prop it so it hold out the cover away from the furniture. Could use you hair blow dryer to dry the inside out and then put it back on dry. It will take care of the moisture, but is not a permanent fix. I live were the humidity is low so it isn't an issue for me.

We had a similar issue. I applied a furniture oil/stain and it went away. My thought is that it was from the condensation that built up under the cover so I swtiched the cover out to one similar to covering lawn furniture with cushions. The fabric is still waterproof but condensation doesn't collect.

Yes it allows us to sit outback under the porch without the rain coming in. It also keeps our outdoor furniture from getting wet.

My cover is under a covered structure, so I cannot really tell. I do know that it zips and covers the entire TV. When the wind blows, rain does blow in there, but the TV remains dry. I hope this helpedDr. Charles Fisher

Yes it keeps you dry---all the seams are sealed to ensure that no moisture gets inside the jacket.

not really wet just feels damp, I have it against my couch and its not wet. does not hold the heat for long, and I dont use it that much because of that.

It does not allow moisture to seep through the bottom. I have not had a problem with moisture seeping through it yet.

I am no expert, but it seems that mold/mildew show up wherever there is moisture (from dew and rainfall and humidity). So maybe you need to keep the cover dry by getting a tarp to cover the cover. Of course the tarp will probably start to look gross after a few months, so you will need to get a tarp to cover the tarp. And so on. An easier recommendation would be to learn to live with your filthy cover. It is supposed to be dirty because it is keeping the filth off your furniture. So what if it gets dirty - - don't you take it off when you use your furniture anyway. And when you do, your cushions underneath will be nice and clean. Hey wait. . . . did this question come from my wife? Sounds like something she would say.

I recall my younger children wetting the bed with this product ... and the mattress did stay dry. Unfortunately, after removing the encasement so many times to wash it after their accidents, it rendered the product useless. I think one of them the zipper broke and one of them melted in the dryer. We did end up replacing them after the accidents stopped. But to answer your question, I think the mattress got damp, which means it's not entirely water proof .. but it's close.
