"We live in Colorado and have extreme weather from winds, rains, and snow. Love the way this new cover securely covers our furniture and the straps are exactly what is needed to do this. We recently put it to the test with 40 mph winds and 3 days of rain. Came through beautifully. We love the fabric material It is innovative and light weight. We look forward to many years with this new cover. I would not listen to any of the negative posts here at all."
