Custom Platform Bench Cover

Ordering your custom platform bench cover requires five measurements that capture the flat, minimalist design.

Measure theback height from the ground to the top edge of the backrest, if your bench has one. Record thedepth from the back to the front edge of the seating surface. Measure thewidth across the entire bench from one side to the other at the widest point.

CaptureDepth #1, which accounts for any variations in the bench's front-to-back dimension at different points. Finally, measure thefront height from the ground to the front edge of the seating platform.

These measurements account for the platform bench's minimalist construction—the flat seating surface, angular design, and variations between models that range from backless platforms to benches with simple vertical backrests.

Use Cases:

• Modern platform benches with flat surfaces vulnerable to water pooling
• Entryway and mudroom benches exposed to weather at doorways
• Minimalist garden benches left outdoors year-round
• Architectural benches where aesthetics matter as much as protection
• Poolside platform seating facing constant moisture exposure
• Storage benches with lift-top mechanisms requiring coverage
• Commercial and hospitality benches needing durable protection

Our platform bench covers use 18 oz PVC-coated polyester designed for flat-surface furniture. The water-repellent coating prevents pooling on horizontal platforms while remaining flexible in cold temperatures, and UV inhibitors protect against sun damage on exposed top surfaces.

Strategically positioned ventilation prevents moisture accumulation underneath the cover, critical for solid platform designs where airflow is naturally restricted. Reinforced stitching at corner points prevents tears, while the drawstring closure with industrial-grade cordlock maintains tension around the perimeter.

Ergonomic handles positioned for platform furniture allow easy installation and removal. The design accommodates various platform configurations, from backless benches to those with simple backrests, preventing wind from lifting the cover at the edges.

Platform benches feature flat seating surfaces and minimalist construction that create specific protection challenges. The horizontal top surface collects water more readily than angled furniture, while the clean-line design often lacks the curves and contours that help covers stay in place. A custom cover addresses the platform bench's specific proportions—the flat geometry, potential storage compartments underneath, and variations between backless platforms and benches with vertical backrests. 

Why Choose Our Platform Bench Covers?

• Measurements designed for flat-surface geometry prevent water pooling that damages platform furniture. Five precise measurements capture the bench's horizontal dimensions and height variations. Platform benches lack the natural drainage that curved or slatted furniture provides—water sits on flat surfaces unless the cover is sized to follow the exact perimeter without sagging. Custom sizing ensures the fabric extends properly over edges without creating depressions where moisture collects, addressing the primary protection challenge that flat-top furniture faces.

• Durable construction handles the unique wear patterns of covering minimalist furniture. Platform benches typically have sharp corners and angular transitions rather than curves, creating contact points where covers experience concentrated wear. The 18 oz PVC-coated polyester withstands the abrasion that occurs at these angular edges, while reinforced stitching prevents the tears that develop when fabric repeatedly folds at right angles during installation and removal.

• Ventilation placement addresses airflow restrictions in solid platform designs. Unlike slatted benches, where air circulates naturally through gaps, platform furniture creates a sealed space between cover and surface. Strategic vent positioning enables moisture to escape from underneath, preventing the condensation buildup that leads to mold growth on solid wood or composite surfaces. This targeted ventilation works specifically for the airflow challenges that flat, solid construction creates.

• Sizing accommodates storage bench mechanisms without interfering with functionality. Many platform benches include lift-top storage compartments underneath the seating surface. Custom measurements account for these mechanisms while ensuring the cover protects the bench during storage periods. The cover removes easily when you need to access storage, then reinstalls to protect both the seating surface and the storage compartment lid from weather damage during non-use periods.
