Hi there. I am looking for ideas on how to safely cover my patio furniture and grill. The covers a have now are a solid black material and while it does protect the items, I am terrified at the critters that hide underneath! That said, I am looking for something that will allow me to cover the items, but will also allow me to see what's underneath. I was hoping that there is some heavy duty vinyl or something similar our there. Its also important to note that at times, my patio can get lots of sun. Any suggestions or recommendations would be great. Thanks!
Suggested Project Book
Amazon carries clear furniture covers for long term storage. You could probably use one of those. I would think 5 mil thickness.
Places like Joann Fabrics have clear vinyl that you can buy. You might be able to use this to create your own grill cover. I'm not sure if your grill might experience sun bleaching through it, though.
You could stick moth balls inside your patio stuff they don’t like it
My initial thought was to try and upcycle a stroller rain cover - here's a link to an example on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Stroller-Rain-Cover/dp/B00004DSDC .
Maybe you can find someone giving one away?
Maybe you could transform a clear shower curtains into covers.
