Abstract

A attachable type beach towel and chair cover combination for being attached to virtually all types of outdoor seating apparatus, comprising: a elongated substantially rectangularly shaped main body portion of textile fabric beach towel (10) having a pair of side edges and a pair of ends. At the ends are four attaching straps (12) permanently attached at end portions and spaced inwardly from the side edges and four corresponding attaching tabs (14) permanently attached to main body of the beach towel (10) spaced inwardly from the side edges and end portions. The attaching straps (12) and the attaching tabs (14) will be of the hook and loop type fastening system. Two attaching straps (12) and two corresponding attaching tabs (14) will be on opposite sides of the central axis parallel to the side edges and to the central axis parallel to the ends of the beach towel (10), thus making the location of each attaching strap (12) and its corresponding attaching tab (14) generally symmetrical to the others. Included will be four peel and stick attaching tabs (16) which will be of the component of the hook and loop type fastening system that corresponds with the permanently attached attaching straps (12). The four peel and stick attaching tabs (16) will be adhered to the appropriate locations designated by the location of the attaching straps (12) when the attachable type beach towel and chair cover combination is laid out on the type of seating apparatus where there is no frame or strapping to attach to.
