This outdoor bench cover looks and feels as if it will keep the snow and winter rain off the wooden furniture it is there to protect. It does leave the bottoms of the legs exposed, however, though I tried to tuck it underneath. There are straps and clasps on all four corners, and a draw-string like cord inside the bottom hem that can be pulled, though the fabric makes pulling that cord rather difficult, and there's still the problem of how to keep melting snow from sitting all winter on (at least partly) exposed wood.
