Outdoor TV Cover - Waterproof 3 Layer Oxford Case for 30-65 Inch TVs

Description

This outdoor TV cover is a 3-layer dustproof and waterproof Oxford cloth case that zips right around your screen, sealing it against rain, dust, insects, UV and ice. It comes in five sizes covering televisions from 30 to 65 inches, so you can leave a patio, deck or poolside TV mounted year round instead of hauling it inside every time the weather turns.

An outdoor television does not usually die from one big storm. It dies from months of dust in the vents, insects nesting behind the panel, UV fading the bezel and moisture creeping in overnight. A zipped cover stops all four while the TV is not in use, which is the cheapest protection you can put on a screen that lives outside.

Specifications

What's in the Box

Why This TV Cover Protects Better Than a Sheet

• Three layers, not one - the Oxford cloth is built up so water beads off the outside rather than soaking through to the screen.
• Zips all the way around - a full zip closure means there is no open bottom edge for wind-driven rain or insects to get in through.
• Blocks UV - covering the screen between uses stops the sun bleaching the bezel and the panel surround over a summer.
• Keeps insects out of the vents - the most common cause of an outdoor TV failing is something living in the heat sink, not water.
• Five sizes - matched to common screen sizes from 30 inch up to 65 inch, so the cover fits snugly rather than flapping.

Do Outdoor TV Covers Work?

Yes - a properly fitted waterproof cover is the single most effective way to extend the life of an ordinary television kept outdoors. A standard indoor TV is not sealed. Its vents, ports and seams are all open, and once dust, moisture or insects get inside, the failure is usually permanent. A zipped 3-layer cover keeps all of that out during the 90-odd percent of the time the screen is not being watched. It does not turn an indoor TV into a rated outdoor TV, but it removes the exposure that kills most of them.

Should I Cover My Outdoor TV If It Is Under a Roof?

Yes, and this is the mistake most people make. A covered patio stops vertical rain, but it does nothing about wind-blown spray, humidity, salt air near the coast, dust off a dry yard, or the insects and spiders that are actively looking for a warm dry cavity to nest in. Screens mounted under pergolas and alfresco roofs fail for exactly those reasons. If the TV lives outside the walls of the house, cover it.

What Size Outdoor TV Cover Do I Need?

Order by your screen size in inches, which is the diagonal measurement of the panel - a 55 inch TV takes the 55-58 inch cover. If your TV sits between two sizes, or if it has a wide bezel, deep stand or a bracket that stands it well off the wall, go up to the next size so the cover clears the whole unit and the zip closes without strain. A cover that is slightly generous will always outlast one that is stretched tight.

Where People Use These Covers

Most go on alfresco and patio televisions, outdoor kitchens and bar areas, poolside screens and deck setups. They are also used over TVs in carports, sheds, workshops, garages and camp kitchens, and by holiday rental and caravan park owners protecting screens between guests. Anywhere a TV is exposed to dust or weather while it is switched off, a zip-around cover earns its keep.

If you are setting up an outdoor entertaining area, our Door and Window Awning adds overhead shelter, and Solar Fairy Lights handle the lighting without running a lead outside. For the other big thing sitting out in the weather, see our Waterproof Car Cover.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this cover waterproof?
Yes. It is made from 3-layer waterproof Oxford cloth and zips closed all the way around.

Will it fit a 65 inch TV?
Yes - choose the 60-65 inch size, which is the largest in the range.

Can I leave the TV mounted with the cover on?
That is what it is designed for. The cover goes over the screen in place, so you are not lifting a TV off a bracket every time the weather changes.

Does it protect against sun damage?
It shields the screen from direct UV while it is covered, which is what stops bezels yellowing and panel surrounds fading over a season.

Will it stop insects getting into the TV?
The full zip closure is there for exactly that. Insects and spiders nesting in the vents are one of the most common causes of outdoor TV failure.

Should I cover the TV while it is still warm?
No. Let the screen cool down after use before you zip the cover over it, the same as you would with a barbecue.

What if my TV size falls between two covers?
Go up a size. A slightly loose cover fits over brackets and stands and takes less strain on the zip.

This cover is designed to protect a television while it is switched off and not in use. It is not a substitute for a purpose-built weatherproof outdoor television, and the TV should never be operated while covered. Actual colours may vary slightly from the product photographs depending on your screen and lighting settings.
