Custom Ramped / Wedge Outdoor Cover | Design 15 (Made to Measure)
Custom ramped / wedge outdoor cover – Design 15
Some outdoor pieces don’t sit flat – they slope. Whether it’s a ramp, wedge cushion, log store, sloping equipment base or custom-built feature, a standard rectangular cover will never fit quite right. Our Design 15 ramped / wedge cover is made to measure to follow that long slope from the higher back edge down to the lower front, giving you a neat, professional finish.
Simply follow the diagram and enter four key measurements in centimetres. Our UK workshop will then cut and sew your cover in your chosen outdoor fabric, with a small tailoring allowance so it slides on easily without being baggy.
How Design 15 works
Measure in cm along the dashed lines in the diagram:
- (1) Back height – from the ground to the highest back edge.
- (2) Base length – the long distance along the bottom from back to front.
- (3) Back width – left to right across the back edge of the top.
- (4) Front height – from the ground to the lower front edge.
The cover is cut so the top panel slopes smoothly from the back height down to the front height, while the sides follow the ramped shape.
Ideal uses for Design 15
- Garden ramps and wedges.
- Log stores or wood racks with a sloping top.
- Sloped equipment bases and machinery housings.
- Outdoor steps or platforms that need a ramped cover.
- Custom-built features where one end is higher than the other.

Tie-down options
To keep your custom ramp cover in place, especially on smooth or exposed surfaces, you can choose from several tie-down upgrades:
- No tie-downs – for heavy or enclosed ramps that don’t catch much wind.
- Elasticated hem with cord lock – pulls the base snug around the ramp.
- Grommets & cord – reinforced eyelets with cord to tie to hooks, rails or anchors.
- Webbing straps with buckles – pass underneath for maximum security in high winds.
Why choose a Shiny Sofas custom ramped cover?
- Made to measure from your exact ramp dimensions.
- Waterproof & UV-resistant fabrics designed for outdoor use.
- Clean, sloping profile that sheds water better than flat-topped covers.
- Neat, tailored look that upgrades the appearance of functional ramps and equipment.
- Optional photo upload & notes so we can double-check complex setups.
Caring for your cover
Brush off loose dirt regularly, then sponge clean with mild soapy water and rinse. Allow to air dry fully before putting back onto the ramp. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the waterproof and UV coatings over time.
If you are unsure whether Design 15 is the right layout for your ramp or wedge, simply upload a photo with your order or contact us and we’ll be happy to advise.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the right template for my ramp or wedge?
Design 15 is intended for items with a rectangular footprint and a long sloping top, where one end is higher than the other. If your item is the same height all round, our standard rectangular cover design will usually be a better fit.
Are the fabrics fully waterproof?
Both fabric tiers are designed for outdoor use. Tier 1 (PVL 600D) is waterproof for everyday garden use, while Tier 2 (P500UV) adds an extra PU and UV coating for maximum water resistance and long-term exposure.
What if my measurements are a bit wrong?
We add a small tailoring allowance to help the cover slip on easily. If you realise you’ve measured incorrectly, contact us as soon as possible with your order number – if production hasn’t started, we can usually update the sizes.
Can you add cut-outs or zips?
In many cases, yes. We can add simple cut-outs, flaps, vents or access zips. Please upload a clear photo and describe what you need in the notes – we’ll confirm what’s possible and if there’s any extra cost before we sew your cover.
How do I clean the cover?
Brush off loose dirt regularly, then sponge clean with mild soapy water and rinse. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can damage the waterproof coatings over time. Always allow the cover to dry fully before storing.
