Zero Gravity Chair Pair Covers: Measure Recline Profiles, Trays, and Folding Frames

Zero gravity chairs shift between upright, reclined, and folded positions, and removable trays or headrests can make the stored outline uneven. A custom zero gravity chair pair cover should be measured around two matching chairs in one stable closing arrangement so the cover can be fitted the same way after every use.

Review the chair maker’s folding and storage instructions before measuring. Close every locking lever, remove loose accessories, and place the pair on a level surface. A cover protects a stored arrangement; it does not lock reclining joints, stabilize damaged frames, or make lightweight chairs safe to leave outside in severe wind.

Choose a Folded or Upright Storage Position

Decide whether each chair will be fully folded, partly upright, or stored in a manufacturer-approved rack. Fully folded chairs usually create a narrower footprint, but some frames remain long or top-heavy. Photograph the chosen position and confirm both chairs stand securely without relying on the cover.

Pair Matching Chairs in the Same Orientation

Use the same chair model and face both frames in one direction unless a different approved arrangement nests more securely. Align feet and back rails without forcing them together. Mixed models, reversed frames, or casual placement can change the envelope enough to strain a tailored cover.

Measure the Complete Two-Chair Envelope

Follow How to Measure and record maximum combined width, front-to-back depth, and height at rigid frame points. Include any lean in the folded profile. Do not simply double a catalog width because hinge positions, fabric tension, and side trays may prevent the frames from touching.

Record Headrests, Trays, and Cup Holders

Note whether padded headrests slide, side trays detach, cup holders fold, or phone supports project beyond the arm. Store removable accessories indoors when recommended. If an accessory must remain attached, measure its projection and show it clearly in front, side, and top photographs.

Map Hinges, Locks, and Curved Tubes

Identify every folding joint, locking lever, elastic cord, foot crossbar, and curved frame end. The cover should not be pulled into an open hinge or tightened against a release lever. Replace missing end caps and address sharp or damaged metal before the chairs are covered.

Keep Chair Textiles Clean and Dry

Brush away grit, sunscreen residue, pollen, and leaves, then let mesh, cushions, and cords dry completely. Moisture can remain where the two chairs touch. During long storage, uncover the pair periodically and inspect hidden fabric, steel joints, fasteners, and foot areas.

Set the Hem Above the Patio Surface

Choose a hem that covers the vulnerable lower frame while staying above puddles, pool splash, wet leaves, and abrasive paving. Keep the feet visible enough to confirm the pair has not shifted. Do not tuck loose fabric under a rocker bar or folding tube.

Choose Retention Points That Stay Clear of Joints

Route buckles around strong lower frame tubes only where the chair manufacturer permits contact. Keep straps away from scissor joints, elastic lacing, locks, and walkways. Tighten both sides evenly so the cover remains controlled without squeezing the chairs together.

Select Fabric for Poolside and Daily Handling

Compare UV resistance, water behavior, abrasion performance, flexibility, and cleaning guidance on Our Fabrics. A frequently removed pair cover benefits from a clear front marker and lift handles so users do not drag it across chair frames or the patio.

Send a Repeatable Pair-Storage Brief

Provide chair make and model, storage position, pair orientation, complete envelope, accessories, joints, feet, hem, approved strap points, exposure, access frequency, and labeled photos. Review the Zero Gravity Chair Pair Cover, then Request a Quote once the layout is final.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should zero gravity chairs be measured while reclined?

Measure the manufacturer-approved storage position you will repeat. A folded pair is usually more compact, but stability and maker guidance come first.

Can side trays remain attached under the cover?

They can only if the chair maker permits it and you include their full projection. Removable trays are often safer to store separately.

Will one cover keep two chairs from moving in high wind?

No. Follow the property’s relocation or restraint plan; the cover is not structural anchoring for lightweight furniture.

Turn the Measurements Into a Cover Brief

A dependable pair cover starts with two chairs parked the same way every time. Documenting the folded geometry, accessories, joints, feet, and handling routine gives CoversForge a clear pattern for compact outdoor storage. Request a Quote when the details and photos are ready.
