Bosmere Protector 6000 | Hammock Garden Furniture Cover | L 244cm D 146cm H 170cm | 100% Waterproof, UV Protected, Heavy Duty 600D | 6 Year Guarantee | C510

I splashed out on this cover for my wooden garden swing bed, which has base dimensions of 245 cm x 130 cm and is 180 cm high. I knew it was therefore likely to be 10 cm too short, and indeed this is the case, but it only means the bottom 10 cm of each leg is exposed - at least it will allow air to circulate. I'll just have to keep an eye out for neighbours' cats going underneath (hopefully they won't, I've got a sonic repeller too!). My swing seat is an A-frame when the roof shade is removed for winter, so this cover is over-baggy at the top, but at least it is big enough.It came in a compact purpose-made carry bag, with window and handles, which was a nice touch, though a simple wrapper would have sufficed - there's no way I'll ever fold the cover up as tightly again to get it back in the bag!The label says, "NEW and improved 'PVC free', UV stabilised polyester fabric... protected with Bosmere's unique waterproof coating." The material seems really strong - it feels very thick & sturdy and has a black interior surface.There is a pair of large brass eyelets at each corner, about 20 cm apart. Four bungees are provided, which comprise a loop of very thick elastic (the loop is about 20 cm long, ie. circa 40 cm of elastic) which is fixed into a 2.5 cm bobble.You thread the loop in through one eyelet, pass it around the leg of the furniture (more than once if required), feed it back out through the other eyelet and then push the end of the loop over the bobble - it holds brilliantly! I'll have to see if the cover rides up at all in a strong wind, but even if it does it cannot come off altogether unless the bungees 'untoggle' themselves.Time will tell if the cover lasts more than one winter, which is all that my last (much cheaper & flimsier) cover managed before it started disintegrating.

Wonderful cover to replace a worn out cover. Excellent quality, fits perfectly, stands up to any weather and good value, what more could I say. So much better than the previous cover which came with swing hammock.

Most of the swing seat covers are for the smaller three seat, steel frame swings. I needed one for a larger, wooden A frame swing seat/bed and this seemed to fit the bill, though I was worried it would be too large. Turned out to be almost perfect. Almost, because it is a little too short and does not come entirely to the ground, but leaves about 4 inches of leg exposed - shocking, I know :)It is however, well made, quite thick with good zips and useful eyelets and bungees to fasten it down. I have taken some precautions with the top, where it fits around the square canopy frame, adding some packing to the frames hard corners to try and prevent any wear on the cover, and ensuring there is a good "fall" so that rain water does not puddle on the top.On the whole I am very pleased and hopeful I should get at least 2 or 3 seasons from it.

Really good quality but bungee ties were missing from my package. Excellent service from Bosmere/trader though in supplying them for me! Great service!

I have had one before but it needed to be changed.Really pleased with the quality and fit.I had the previous one for over 10 years, so it is well worth the money

Well made - purchased many times and lasts about 7 years - highly recommended

Good quality but a pain if you need to claim under the 6 year warranty.Amazon told me maximum of 2 years warranty for items sold by them and will not honour the 6 year guarantee. Mine ripped at seams after 3 years. No link on site to contact the manufacturer directly. However found manufacturer link on a search and a form to claim on their warranty. They responded within 1 day and are sending out a replacement.So first class customer service when you can find the correct method to contact them.

I have 15 years experience of purchasing and using these covers. Amazon are passing an old 'non-durable' product off as a newer much more durable one. Please read on. The item they are advertising is a '6000' and should say on the cover that it carries a manufacturers 6 year guarantee. There is an old variant of this product which looks very similar on the packaging but crucially will not say '6000' by the manufacturers, and will only have a 2 year guarantee. Amazon sent me an old variant, and are trying to pass it off as one of the new ones. A lot of people may get caught out by this. Don't be fooled by Amazon's own stock label saying it is a '6000', it is not. The truth is, that the old variant of this product will thin in sunlight, and after 2 years will tear and fall to bits. I have had this happen to me 3 times with the old variant. I have been using a new '6000' variant for a few years now and it is much better. Make sure you get one of those. It's a shame Amazon don't send what they are advertising. Obviously I asked for a refund.
