Custom Made Stool Cover

Reflective & Water Resistant 350gsm Silver Laminated Woven Polypropylene
Made to Measure Cut to your exact dimensions
Made in 3 Weeks Express options available
Nationwide Delivery Tracked courier delivery

Bar stools and outdoor stools sit at an awkward height that most standard covers do not account for.

Your cover is made from 350gsm silver laminated woven polypropylene. The reflective silver coating bounces sunlight away and sheds rain, so the stool stays cooler and drier.

Generic stool covers are either too short, too wide, or sized only for the most common seat dimensions.

A cover made to your exact seat width, depth, and ground-to-seat height wraps the stool cleanly and protects the frame and seat from sun and weather.

Step 01 Enter Your Measurements

Width is the widest point of the seat from side to side. Depth is the deepest point of the seat front to back. For a round stool, enter the diameter for both Width and Depth. Height is from the ground to the top of the seat, not the footrest ring. Do not include any back rest in the height if your stool has one. Contact us if your stool has a backrest and you want it included.

Measuring guidelines

  • Width is the widest point of the seat, side to side.
  • Depth is the deepest point of the seat, front to back. For round stools, use the diameter for both Width and Depth.
  • Height is from the ground to the top of the seat surface.
  • Do not include the footrest ring in the height measurement.

Cover features

  • A clean, fabric-style outer face that suits a furnished outdoor space rather than the tarpaulin look you get from budget covers.
  • Six webbing tie-down points spaced around the base so the cover stays put when the wind picks up.
  • For furniture without legs to anchor to, an elastic perimeter can be sewn around the bottom edge instead. Just request this when placing your order.
  • A polyurethane waterproof layer bonded to the underside that holds up under UV exposure without flaking or breaking down.
  • Double-folded, twice-stitched seams that hide the raw edge of the fabric and keep stitch lines protected from water ingress.
  • No PVC anywhere in the construction, which means no cracking or splitting along the fold lines after a season or two of sun.
  • Solution-dyed polyester face fabric. Colour runs all the way through every fibre, so fading is dramatically reduced under harsh New Zealand sun.
  • A drawstring carry bag is included for storing the cover when guests are over or during the warmer months.
  • Light enough that one person can fit and remove it without help.
  • Backed by a warranty against premature fading and loss of waterproofing.
Please review your measurements carefully before submitting. Each cover is cut to the dimensions you provide, so we are unable to offer change-of-mind returns or cancel an order once production has begun.

Built to fit, not adapted to suit

Stools vary in seat size and leg height more than almost any other piece of outdoor furniture. Bar height, counter height, and cafe height are all different, and the seat diameter or width varies just as much. A cover cut to your measurements fits your stool, not a generic approximation of it.

One material, one quality, one price tier

Every cover we make uses the same 350gsm silver laminated woven polypropylene regardless of size or shape. The woven base is tough and tear resistant, and the silver coating on the outside reflects sunlight away while it sheds rain. It is reflective, water resistant, and built to handle outdoor conditions across every climate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about ordering a custom outdoor stool cover.

How do I measure a round stool?

For a round stool, measure the diameter of the seat across the widest point. Enter that same measurement for both Width and Depth. The cover is then cut to that footprint. You do not need to calculate the circumference or do anything complicated. Just measure the diameter once and enter it twice.

Should I include the footrest ring in the height measurement?

No. Measure from the ground to the top of the seat surface only. The cover is designed to enclose the seat and the legs down to the ground. The footrest ring sits partway up the legs and the cover fabric will pass over it on the way down. The cover does not need to fit around the footrest ring specifically, so you do not need to account for it in the measurement.

Does this cover work for bar-height stools and counter-height stools?

Yes. The height measurement you provide determines how long the cover is. A bar-height stool might have a seat height of 75 to 80 centimetres and a counter-height stool might be 60 to 65 centimetres. Both work. Enter the actual ground-to-seat measurement for your stool and the cover is cut to that length.

Can I leave the cushion on the stool under the cover?

Yes. If you leave the cushion on, measure the stool with the cushion in place because a thick cushion will add to the seat width and depth. If you remove cushions before covering, measure without them. The cover size needs to match how the stool will actually look when the cover goes on.

Can I order a set of four or six stool covers?

Yes. Each cover is priced individually and you can order as many as you need. If all your stools are the same model, the measurements will likely be identical and you enter them once and specify the quantity. If your stools vary, measure each one. Contact us if you want to discuss a set order and we can confirm the best way to proceed.

The Complete Guide

Custom Made Outdoor Stool Covers — The Complete Owner's Guide

4 min read Updated 2025 Custom Cover Company

Outdoor bar stools and kitchen stools take a lot of sun and weather, particularly when they sit at an outdoor bar or kitchen bench that faces north or west. The seat material fades, the frame corrodes, and the footrest ring often rusts before the rest of the stool does. A cover that fits well solves most of this. The challenge is that stools are not a standard size. Bar height, counter height, and cafe stools all differ, and round seats and square seats need different approaches.

This guide walks you through measuring your stool correctly for both round and square or rectangular seats, and covers what you need to know about the material and care.

Width

Width is the widest point of the seat from side to side. For a square or rectangular stool, measure across the seat from the outer edge on one side to the outer edge on the other. For a round stool, measure the diameter of the seat across its widest point. If the seat is slightly oval rather than perfectly round, measure the widest point.

If your stool has a lip or edge that protrudes beyond the seat surface, measure to the outer edge of that lip. The cover needs to clear the widest point of the seat to slip on and off cleanly.

Depth

Depth is the front-to-back measurement of the seat. For a square or rectangular stool, measure from the front edge of the seat to the back edge. For a round stool, depth is the same as width. Enter the diameter for both measurements. The cover is made to the footprint of the seat, so for a round stool you enter the same number twice and we handle the rest.

Height

Height is from the ground to the top of the seat surface. Hold a tape measure vertically beside the stool and measure from the floor up to the seat top. Do not measure to the top of any backrest if your stool has one, and do not include the footrest ring. The cover runs from the top of the seat down to the ground, enclosing the legs, footrest ring, and frame on the way. Your height measurement just needs to be the ground-to-seat distance so the cover reaches the right length.

Footrest rings are common on bar and counter stools. The cover fabric will pass over the ring as it drops down the legs. The ring sits inside the cover, so you do not need to measure around it or account for it separately.

The material

All our covers are made from 350gsm silver laminated woven polypropylene. For a stool cover, the main challenge is that the cover needs to be tall enough to hang to the ground from a seat that may be 70 or 80 centimetres up, while still being easy to put on and take off. At 350gsm the fabric is substantial enough to drop cleanly and hold its shape, but it is still a cover, not a tarp, so one person can fit it and remove it without a fight.

The base is woven polypropylene. The weave makes it strong and tough, and it resists tearing far better than the thin fabrics used on cheap covers that start to look tired and split after a season or two in direct sun. The outside carries a silver laminate coating. That coating is reflective, so it bounces sunlight away rather than soaking it up. The cover and the stool underneath stay cooler, and the seat and frame are shielded from sun and UV.

The same silver coating is water resistant. Rain runs off the surface and the cover keeps the rain off the stool under normal outdoor conditions. If your stools sit fully exposed and receive a lot of driving rain, a position under an overhang will extend the life of the cover. For most outdoor kitchen or bar setups there is at least partial overhead cover, which suits a stool cover well.

Care

Wipe the cover with a damp cloth for routine cleaning. For heavier soiling, use a soft brush and mild soap and rinse thoroughly with the hose. Always let the cover dry fully in the air before putting it back on the stool or folding it for storage. Folding a damp cover and storing it will shorten its life.

If you remove covers to use the stools during the day and put them back on at night, fold them loosely and keep them out of direct sun while they are off. Consistent UV exposure affects any outdoor fabric even when it is not in use. A simple bag or a shelf in a shaded spot is enough. With routine care a set of stool covers should give you several years of reliable use.
