How do I measure for a Custom Bench Cover (With Arms)?

This guide explains how to measure your bench with arms for a custom-fitted Kuvr® garden furniture cover, including each required measurement, where to take it, and how to record it accurately. There are 4 measurements to take, labelled A to D.

The measurements

A — Total width

The full width of the bench at its widest point, measured from the outside of one arm rest to the outside of the other. Include the arms — measure to the outermost points.

B — Total depth

The front-to-back depth at the deepest point, from the front edge of the seat to the back of the backrest.

C — Total height

The vertical height from the ground up to the highest point of the bench, the top of the backrest. Keep the tape vertical.

D — Height to top of arm

The vertical height from the ground up to the top of the arm rest.

Frequently asked questions

Do I measure over the cushions?

If your bench has seat or back cushions and you want them left in place under the cover, measure with the cushions on. If you'll store the cushions separately, measure the bare bench, and note which in your order.

Do I include the arms in the width?

Yes. Measure the total width to the outside of the arm rests — the widest point of the bench — not just the seat.

My bench isn't shaped like any of the diagrams — what should I do?

Choose the diagram closest to your bench and send photos of it from a few angles alongside your measurements. We’ll use the photos to confirm the exact shape and get the fit right.

Can I measure in inches?

Yes. Measure in centimetres, inches, or metres — you choose your preferred unit when you configure the cover. Just keep the same unit throughout.
