I had to replace my Gas-Weber Grill (sigh) with a pedestal model because I relocated and have only an itty-bitty porch on which to place a BBQ.. The grill itself ain't a Weber by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm learning how to use it. The cover, by contrast, is a piece of junk. Portland in the winter can become windy, and I've placed the 'feet' of the grill over the cover to hold it down, so that solved any airborne problems with this cheap, flimsy thing. But it's less than a year old and torn in a number of places.. I swear Saran Wrap would be a better substitute if one had the patience to apply it. A rubber-bonded tarp is what I'm looking for now.. I'll tie the darn thing down. At $14, it's still a royal RIP.
I have purchased several of these covers in the three years I have owned my grill, because I have lost two to wind and the third was torn up over time. Unfortunately, Char-Broil is the only company that makes this particular shape, so there are no options. The material is extremely flimsy, and it is not long enough to tuck under the bottom of the grill to prevent it from blowing away. Id say, buy a Weber cover that can fit over the Patio Caddie - its probably more durable.
Don't waste your money. Even in very mild year-round weather it doesn't hold up. I agree that a trash bag would be better, and you can buy a lot of trash bags for $24.99!
I received this free as part of a promotion; if had cost me anything, I'd be returning it. Even the bag in which the cover is packaged is made of a much heavier gauge plastic.I suppose it would be an adequate dust cover if you were storing the barbeque in your garage or a shed for the winter. I'll be surprised if it makes until the end of summer in a daily environment of hours of direct sunlight and salt air . I expect I'll be covering my Patio Caddie with a large heavy-duty drawstring trash bag this winter.
Big waste of time and money.This was NOT the heavy lined cover. It did not have the "velco"loops. The bag it came in was heavier than this cover. I returned it. A garbage bag would work was well as this rip off cover. Way over priced.
