First time homeowner who had waited to the last minute to buy outdoor faucet covers. Everyone is sold out in town.

What’s the next best option? TIA

Wrap pipes in towels, duct tape to secure, wrap in garbage bags to make waterproof.

Go to dollar general and get a roll of bubble wrap. Wrap your pipes with the plastic bubble wrap and duct tape to hold. Air bubbles act as insulation.

You can use an old towel and wrap it up tight. I did this during the last freeze on one of my faucets. Wrapped it around the faucet and then ran a good bit of electrical tape around it to hold the towel on tight. Worked great.
