Custom tapered outdoor furniture cover – Design 8 (sloping front)

Design 8 is specifically made for furniture and outdoor equipment that has a rectangular top but a lower front height and higher back height, creating a sloping face. This shape is ideal when a normal rectangular cover would look loose, baggy or would puddle water on top.
Your cover is tailored to your exact dimensions, ensuring a neat fit that follows the slope cleanly from back to front. Enter the four simplified measurements shown in the diagram, and our UK-based workshop will sew your custom tapered cover using high-performance outdoor fabrics.
What Design 8 is perfect for
- Tapered outdoor storage boxes
- Outdoor appliances with a sloping face
- Generators, pumps and small utility machines
- Fire pit tables with angled sides
- Garden feature units that are taller at the back than the front
- Lightweight tables or equipment where a snug, angled cover is needed
How to measure a tapered rectangular shape (Design 8)
Measure in centimetres along the diagram lines:
-
(1) Height – the full height at the tallest side (back).
-
(2) Width – left-to-right across the top.
-
(3) Depth – front-to-back across the top surface.
-
(4) Front Height – the lower height at the front where the slope ends.
We add a small tailoring allowance to help the cover slide on easily without being overly tight.
Select your outdoor fabric
Your Design 8 cover can be made in one of two professional-grade outdoor fabrics:
Tier 1 – PVL 600D Vinyl-Coated Polyester
- Waterproof and robust
- Great for general UK weather, sheds and patios
- Best for spring–autumn or partially sheltered setups
Tier 2 – P500UV Premium Polyester (PU + UV Coated)
- Superior UV protection for all-year exposure
- Ideal for south-facing & exposed gardens
- Lighter to handle but extremely durable
Tie-down options
Choose a securing method based on wind exposure and how often you access the unit:
-
No tie-downs – for sheltered areas or very heavy equipment.
-
Elasticated hem with cord lock – cinches the base for a neat grip.
-
Grommets & cord – reinforced eyelets to tie to anchor points.
-
Webbing straps with buckles – passes under the item for maximum stability.
Why choose a made-to-measure tapered cover?
- Tailored to your exact slope angle and dimensions
- Cleaner fit than standard flat covers
- Prevents water pooling and improves run-off
- Protects against rain, UV, dust, dirt, bird mess and daily wear
- Looks tidy and professional all year round
