RICHIE Round Garden Furniture Cover Waterproof 250x90cm (420D) – Black circular patio table cover
Product description
What it is (and why you’d buy it)
RICHIE’s round garden furniture cover is a waterproof patio cover aimed at keeping an outdoor round table set protected when the weather turns. If your circular table spends a lot of time outside, a cover like this is the practical middle ground between leaving everything exposed and trying to “improvise” with tarpaulins that don’t fit properly.
On paper, it focuses on two things that matter day to day: keeping rain from soaking through and resisting sun damage over time. It’s also described as heavy duty with an updated 420D Oxford fabric, plus a waterproof and UV-resistant coating, so it’s pitched as something you can leave on for seasons rather than just a quick spell of bad weather.
Key features that matter in daily use
The headline is the waterproof approach. The cover is said to have a waterproof strip on the original basis to help prevent water seeping through seams. That’s a sensible detail, because even “waterproof” covers often fail at the joins.
For sun exposure, the coating is described as UV-resistant, with the overall fabric also stated to be tear-resistant and fade-resistant. That combo is particularly relevant if your patio area gets strong summer light.
Then there’s the practical fitting. The cover uses an adjustable drawstring cord and eyelets to help tighten the bottom edge. In real terms, that’s what you want if your outdoor space gets breezy—loose covers flap, rub and eventually let water get in around the edges.
One limitation to keep in mind: no cover can magically fit every furniture shape perfectly. Coverage “depends on the size of your outdoor furniture set”, especially chair depth. If your chairs sit tall or aren’t flush with the tabletop, you may need to think about how the cover will sit before ordering.
Size and fit: the 250x90cm question
The cover size is 250x90cm and it’s described as suitable for a round garden table with 4–6 seats. It should also work for other outdoor items like chairs, benches and coffee tables, as long as the dimensions match.
The manufacturer’s own note is worth taking seriously: coverage depends on how deep your chairs are, because chairs usually don’t sit flush with the top of the table. That means the cover might not fully protect everything at the same height if your setup is taller.
A helpful micro-scenario: imagine you’ve got a round table with chairs that have curved backs. If those backs extend higher than you expect, the cover may stop short of protecting the upper parts, even though it looks like it “fits” when you first throw it on. Measuring first saves a lot of hassle.
How it helps stop rain pooling (and what you should do)
There’s a very specific point about water accumulation: because most chairs are not flush with the top of the table, water can pool. The suggestion is to put something on the table top under the cover so water has somewhere to flow rather than collect.
This is one of those “small tweak, big difference” details. If you skip it, you may find water gathers in the same low spots where it can sit for longer. The cover may still be waterproof overall, but reducing pooling helps keep the furniture cleaner and drier.
Everyday handling and cleaning
The cover is described as easy to fit and remove thanks to the adjustable drawstring and eyelets.
For cleaning, it’s fairly straightforward: clean with a damp cloth or rinse with a water pipe, then dry it in the sun. That’s exactly what you’d hope for with an outdoor cover—no complicated aftercare required, but you do need to let it dry properly before storing.
Where it shines (and where it may fall short)
This is a solid choice if you want: - a round patio table cover designed for waterproof protection and UV resistance - a heavier fabric (420D Oxford) intended to handle real outdoor use - a more secure fit using drawstring and eyelets, which is useful in windy conditions
However, it may not be the best fit if: - your furniture set has unusual height/shape and you’re not confident it will sit under a 250x90cm cover - you expect a fully “set-and-forget” solution without any consideration for pooling and placement on top of the table - you’re after a cover that adapts perfectly to every contour without needing to measure and fine-tune fit
In short: it’s built to protect, but coverage still depends on your exact setup.

Buying verdict
It’s worth buying if you’ve got a round outdoor table set around the 4–6 seat size range and you want a waterproof, UV-resistant cover with a more secure bottom fit for windy patio days. The 420D Oxford fabric and seam-focused waterproofing are the sort of details that usually make a difference when covers get tested by rain and strong sun.
You may want to skip it if your chairs are particularly deep or tall, because coverage depends on your set’s depth and measurements, and pooling can still be an issue if you don’t follow the recommended approach for the tabletop.
If you’re comparing this to cheaper, lighter covers, consider whether you need this extra fabric weight and the UV + waterproof coating. If you mainly need short-term protection for mild weather and your furniture is moved indoors often, you might not get the same value.
Mini FAQ
Is this cover suitable for a round patio table with 4–6 seats?
Yes—it's described as suitable for a round garden table with 4–6 seats, but you should still check how deep your chairs are for coverage.
Does it help with waterproofing around seams?
It claims a waterproof strip to help prevent water seeping through seams, which is a key area where many covers struggle.
Will it stop UV fading?
The fabric and coating are described as UV-resistant and fade-resistant, which should help with sun exposure over time.
Can I clean it easily?
Yes. It’s described as easy to wash—wipe with a damp cloth or rinse, then dry it in the sun.
Will water pool under the cover?
It can. The guidance suggests placing something on the tabletop under the cover so water doesn’t pool, helping it flow down instead.
