PATIO PLUS Parasol Cover for Garden Umbrellas (160x24x24cm) – Waterproof, Windproof Polyethylene Fabric, Green
Product description
The essentials
If you’ve ever lifted a garden umbrella cover after rain only to find it’s gone limp, stained, or shifted in the wind, you’ll understand why this kind of patio umbrella cover gets bought in a hurry. The PATIO PLUS parasol cover is designed as a practical outdoor layer for garden umbrellas, with a waterproof polyethylene fabric and a wind-focussed drawstring system.
On paper, it’s aimed at everyday weather protection rather than looking ultra-premium. It’s also a no-zip style cover, which usually makes fitting faster, though you’ll want to make sure you can still secure it properly around your umbrella’s base.
Key features
This cover comes in a green polyethylene fabric and is sized at 160x24x24cm. It’s described as waterproof, and the fabric is said to be lightweight yet tough enough to help with harsh outdoor conditions such as rain, snow, frost, and even messier scenarios like bird droppings.
Wind resistance is where it tries to earn its place. The cover uses an all-round drawstring bottom with cord locks, so the bottom can be tightened to reduce the chance of it blowing away. It’s the sort of detail that matters if you live somewhere breezy, or if your umbrella sits uncovered between weekends.
For cleaning, the approach is simple: wipe with a damp cloth or hose down with water, then leave it to dry in the sun for the next use. That’s convenient if you don’t want a complicated maintenance routine every time the cover gets dirty.
What it’s like in daily use
Imagine the typical routine: it’s been raining, you lift the cover, and you’re checking whether it’s protected the umbrella fabric underneath. With this one, the “no shrink, fading or deform” messaging is geared toward keeping its shape and performance over time, so it’s less of a faff to refit.
Fitting is also positioned as easy to put on and remove. The absence of a zip can be a plus if you’re doing this regularly, but do note that a non-zip cover depends more on how well the drawstring is tightened. If your umbrella base shape is awkward, or if you don’t secure the cord locks, it may not sit as tightly as you’d like.

Where it shines (and where it may not)
It makes sense if you want a straightforward weather cover for a round patio umbrella up to 2m diameter, and you’re looking for protection that you can leave outside year-round as part of your maintenance routine.
It might not suit you as well if your umbrella setup doesn’t match the intended round shape and diameter, or if you prefer a more structured cover system with extra fastening points for very gusty locations. Also, while it’s described as tough enough for tough conditions, any lightweight cover can still struggle if it’s left loose—so the drawstring needs attention.
Compatibility & requirements
The product description states it’s suitable for round patio umbrellas up to 2m diameter. If your umbrella is taller, wider, or a non-standard shape, you’ll want to double-check the 160x24x24cm dimensions against your umbrella before committing.
Also, ensure the cord locks can be tightened comfortably around your umbrella’s base—this is a key part of the wind resistance.
Should you buy it?
Final verdict
Worth considering if you want an easy-to-fit, waterproof parasol cover with a drawstring bottom and cord locks for wind security, and your round patio umbrella sits within the stated size range.
You may want to skip it if your umbrella doesn’t fall within the “round up to 2m diameter” guidance, or if you know you need a very snug, highly tailored fit—because this is a practical cover where the final hold depends on tightening the drawstring properly.
