This night cover is designed to cover a rattan corner group. Our covers allow you to leave your furniture out all year round without worry of anything getting to it. You can leave your cushions on if you cover your daybed with this cover, but we recommend removing the cushions & storing them indoors in the winter months. Ensure your cover is securely tied down using the cords provided to prevent wind lifting the cover. Due to the Ultra violet rays from the sun there will be some fading to the cover overtime, this is unavoidable. This fading will not effect the water resistance of the fabric. However the cover does provide a little UV protection so that there is no way for the cushions to be effected if left on. A gap between the cover & then ground is best as this allows air to pass under the cover avoiding damp & mould, so do not worry if the cover does not reach the ground. Always allow the cover to dry before folding & putting away.
