Flat surfaces hold water. Sloped surfaces shed it. It is simple physics, yet most people cover their flat patio tables with flat covers and hope for the best.

Create a Peak

Camping tents don’t leak because they have peaks. The steep angle forces water to run off instantly. You need to replicate this on your patio.

The Mushroom Cap

Using a broomstick or a piece of wood might work temporarily, but it will likely poke a hole right through your cover. A proper support pole has a wide, rounded mushroom cap designed to distribute pressure gently, creating a perfect slope without damaging the fabric.

The Bottom Line

Gravity wants to ruin your furniture. Use a pole to make gravity work for you instead.
