Dokon L-Shape Garden Sofa Cover

I do find buying the cheaper covers is a better buy for me in the long term. Living fairly near the coast in Dorset we can get quite a hammering with high winds etc in the winter months, and have found that expensive covers never live up to their 5 / 10 year guarantees. You can spend between £100-£200 on a large cover for a large outside sofa and table set like I’ve got, and I’m just not prepared to spend a couple of hundred quid on one that doesn’t last any longer than a cheaper version. I use covers on my sofa set all year round, and put it on every night during the summer months too as we’ve got a huge conker tree on the border fence between us and next door in our average sized housing development garden. I’m also loathed to be taking all the cushions in each night in the spring / summer months, so my covers are used a lot, and need to stand up to some pretty blowy weather. I was really impressed with this cover for £37.99 when it arrived. I felt thick and of a good quality material. It is sort of fabric-type feeling on the outer side and a more poly waterproof type material on the inside. Another problem I have is getting covers to fit my garden sofa as its a corner sofa, but has a rounded corner, not an right-angled corner. It’s also equal lengths both sides. Anyway, this cover was a very good fit even though the cover was for a cornered sofa, not a rounded corner sofa. I just bought the size which was a bit bigger than our sofa (to allow for the angled fit of the cover. It’s absolutely fine. It just has a bit of loose cover at the back of the sofa on the rounded corner. Not a problem at all. It has strong, squeeze in and release straps for each corner of the sofa and one in the middle on the inner and outer edges. For me its easier to lift up the sofa leg and slide the strap underneath the leg, rather than keep doing it up and undoing it. Yes the cover is a loose-ish fit….which in hindsight over the years is better because if the cover is all strapped, clipped and pegged down tight I’ve found previous covers rip and get holes in them, due to not having any give in them. Another thing I look for is the quality of the material of the cover. They seem to have “D” ratings I’ve noticed. This one is a 600D rated one, which is the same as the expensive branded covers. The thinner covers, some of which I’ve had in the past, can be as low as 200D or 400D. The Higher the number, the better quality the cover is. This is excellent with its D rating too being a 600D.Since buying this cover in early June 2023 we were hit with a torrential rain storm one night, the rain was coming down in sheets. It was one of the heaviest rain storms I’d ever seen in Dorset where drains and gutters just couldn’t cope. The cover was on protecting my cushions and sofa, and not one leak anywhere. I was very very impressed. Today, even though its late June its been very very windy. Yes the cover has been lifting as it has give in it, but its not going anywhere because of the straps holding it all down. It’s holding firm this cover. It’s obviously early days, but so far I’m very very impressed for the quality and the £37.99 I paid.

I have never written a review for a product before but I feel I need to for this. These are a fraction of the cost of the covers that are supposed to go with our furniture yet they are amazing. They fit perfect you, they had fastenings so it doesn’t blow away, thick material and last night we had a torrential downpour that lasted ages, just checked on how the sofa coped with that amount of rain and it’s bone dry underneath! Definitely buy this product!

Product is well made and waterproof although it's a lot too big for our corner sofa

Bought this cover to replace the old one that had ripped. Very happy with the quality of this cover. Seems very strong has survived the recent heavy rain and wind. The straps ensured it did not blow off in the strong wind. Very happy with my purchase.

Durable, great dimensions, withstands august rainfall, let’s see how it holds up in winter.

This cover is really good, especially in windy weather. It actually stays on!

Good quality, same as picture, and size is true to description. Have ordered one for my swing chair.

Purchased this at the end of last summer. It fits my corner set really well. Although the material seems very thick, it has just started leaking from the hem after less than a year of use. This resulted in all of my sofa cushions getting wet. Will have to purchase another one.
