THE REPAIR JOURNAL
We have all been there. A storm rolls through, and the next morning you are hopping fences or wandering down the street to retrieve your sofa cover from a neighbor’s tree.
The Sail Effect
Furniture covers are aerodynamic disasters. They catch wind like a sail. Once the wind gets under the hem, the lift force is immense. A standard elastic hem doesn’t stand a chance.
Social Embarrassment
Beyond the cost of replacing a lost cover, there is the sheer annoyance of being ‘that neighbor’ whose trash is blowing around the block. Securing your gear is part of being a good community member.
The Bottom Line
Lock it down. If you aren’t strapping it to the legs, you are just renting that cover from the wind.
