OKPOW Parasol Cover in 600D Oxford Waterproof Fabric with Zip (153 × 30 × 30cm)
Product description
If your patio parasol spends part of the year outside, a proper cover is one of those “small” purchases that can make a noticeable difference. The OKPOW parasol cover is designed to keep rain and daylight from turning your umbrella into a dusty, damp eyesore, and it uses a zip for a more secure fit than the simplest pull-on covers.
That said, this cover has limits: it’s cut for a particular style of umbrella and won’t suit every framework. If you’re unsure about shape, it’s worth checking the diameter guidance before you commit.
The essentials
This is a waterproof garden umbrella cover made from 600D Oxford fabric with a PU coating. The idea is straightforward: help keep the parasol dry and cleaner when the weather turns, while also offering UV resistance to reduce sun-related fading and wear over time.
It also includes a zip, which makes it easier to seal the cover around the parasol top and helps it stay in place during typical outdoor conditions. A drawstring rope at the bottom is there for an extra layer of wind security.
What you’ll notice day to day
In everyday use, the practical wins are mostly about setup and cleanup. The cover is lightweight and made so it can handle “harsh environments” without the fabric shrinking, fading or deforming (as described). When you need to refresh it, the approach is simple: hose it down with water, then let it dry in the sun before the next outing.
Where this cover really earns its keep is in protecting the parasol between uses—especially if you don’t have a fully sheltered storage area. A quick example: after a rainy weekend, you can remove a cover that’s kept most of the grime and moisture off, then dry the umbrella itself as needed, rather than starting from a wet, muddy surface.
Key takeaways
This cover is built around a few clear priorities: keep water off, resist sun exposure, and stay put when there’s some wind.
- Waterproof and UV resistant thanks to PU-coated 600D Oxford fabric
- Zip closure for easier, more secure covering
- Drawstring rope at the bottom to help lock it in place
- Designed for easier cleaning and storage, with a storage bag included
But it’s not a universal “fits all” solution. The description is explicit that it’s not suitable for cantilevered umbrellas (any size), so if your umbrella has an offset arm design, you need to look elsewhere.
What matters most when choosing the right fit
The size information is the part you really shouldn’t gloss over. The OKPOW cover measures 153cm high and 30cm wide at the top / 30cm at the bottom. It’s described as suitable for offset patio parasols with diameters of 1m, 1.3m, 1.5m and 2m.
It’s also important to note that the cover is for an offset umbrella style, not cantilevered umbrellas. If your umbrella’s structure is different, the fit may be awkward, which can defeat the point of using a waterproof cover in the first place.
Pros and limitations
Pros The fabric choice (600D Oxford) and PU coating suggest it’s aimed at proper weather protection rather than basic dust cover duty. The zip and bottom drawstring are also practical for outdoor use, where loose covers can shift.
Limitations It may be more of a “best match” product for the specific umbrella types mentioned, rather than something you can force onto mismatched frames. If you have a cantilevered umbrella, you’ll want to skip this one—compatibility is ruled out in the description.
Is it worth it?
It makes sense to buy this OKPOW parasol cover if you have a compatible offset patio umbrella and you want a waterproof, UV-resistant layer that’s reasonably easy to clean and store. The zip and drawstring are the sort of details that help keep the cover where it should be.
You may want to look elsewhere if you own a cantilevered umbrella, because this cover is explicitly not suitable. And if your umbrella diameter doesn’t fall within the listed range, it’s safer to hold off—covers only work well when they actually fit.
