Veranda Water-Resistant 72" BBQ Grill Cover

This is the third one I've purchased for my Kirkland BBQ, and I think the value for my money is worth it. I buy one every two years or so. We live in a wet climate and then the summers are hot. Works fine for me.

Covers the grill perfectly

great cover will last a long time.

Handles nicely and seem durable

The item came on time and as described. I have no shade where my grill and my old one dry rotted due to the extreme changes in weather and the season changes. I still got a good 3 or 4 years out of the old one. *Good Buy!

Was great until it wasn’t. Got a massive hail storm in CO (we need a new roof) the table cover didn’t stand a chance. The grill cover is still good.

I was worried that it may not fit the 74" width of my grill, as I couldn't find any notation that it is made to allow for 74" with some extra length. It was listed as for a 74" grill, but I wasn't sure it had enough extra length to allow it to be pulled over the grill with out over stretching, etc. Thankfully, it does have the extra length designed into it and it fits with ease.The quality is better than expected - very nice material thickness/weight without being too heavy or too thin; nicely stitched/sealed seams; the handles on either side of the grill box work well in pulling it off; there are several snap attachments to secure it if necessary (it fits so well you may not need to use them).Oh by the way - It looks great too! I'm quite happy with this grill cover and highly recommend it. I'm sure their other products would be great as well.Update April 27, 2015, after two years of use. Last year we had hail that punctured through this cover (Denver area). This cover fits as shown in the photos with the cover having no support on either side hood. After 1.5 years in Colorado weather, the fabric had become brittle enough for a couple of small hailstones to break through. Once the rips start, its just a matter of time before others occur and extend. I used it through the rest of the year, but pulling it on and off made it worse. The fabric has faded and become more brittle. I just purchased another cover from Amazon (same size from BBQ parts) and received an almost identical cover for essentially the same price. The fabric seems the same but the inside coating on it feels thinner. I'm not expecting this one to last any longer, although I will be used weights (4x4 post segments) to hold the cover on either side of the hood against the hood and sides to prevent the 'tenting' effect that made the cover vulnerable to hail. I searched all over for a true "heavy duty" cover, but could only find covers that are the same as this, or stating '600 denier' like this one. It's clear to me that the available covers are relatively cheap material in a nice design made in China and distributed by many outlets. The OEM cover didn't last long either, so I guess we're left to having to replace these things every couple of years unless your grill is under a roof or in a less demanding climate.

I could probably sum this review up in one word....WOW!After putting this on my grill I feel like a complete idiot after buying 30 dollar "heavy duty" grill covers each year from my local home improvement store. I thought the normal Chicago grill cover life-cycle was:-Spring--Summer---Fall----Winter-----Replace------RepeatI will refer to the old cover from now on as "The Cheapo".Pros:- Material - Immediately out of the box this cover reminded me of a heavy duty tent. It has a thick vinyl outside with a softer material inside (I'm unsure of what the material is).- Quality - It is very well stitched with heavy-duty looking thread that looks to be doubled-up at the seams. When I slid it over my grill, the sharp corners that normally would want to poke through a new "cheapo" didn't even phase this thing- Size - I have a Brinkmann that is roughly 72"w x 48"h x 24"d. I got an XXL and it fits perfectly. Snug on the sides and back and extends all the way to the ground. "The Cheapo" was a tight fit and stopped about 8" from the ground.What I noticed in comparison between this cover and "The Cheapo":- Thick heavy-duty handles - no handles whatsoever on "The Cheapo".- Zippered front pouch to hold accessories - no pouch on "The Cheapo"- Plastic buckled straps that go around the wheels of the grill - no wheel straps on "The Cheapo"- Plastic clipped bungees to secure the sides - "The Cheapo" had small velcro straps that lasted about half the year.For a measly extra 20 bucks I could have bought this grill cover and saved myself trips to the store and a pile of cash. This cover looks like nothing less than something that is built to last. I am looking forward to seeing how this thing brushes off the harsh summer winds and cold winters.I HIGHLY recommend this cover.------------------04/14/11 updateThe first 2 of many windstorms passed through my area. Where "The Cheapo" would have already had tiny rips at the corners, this cover doesn't even look phased. It also didn't balloon up like the lightweight cheapo would have either. I didn't latch the wheel straps the second time and it still held tightly around my grill the whole timeMore updates to come.

Materiales

Fits my Kirkland barbecue perfectly. Good quality and matches my patio furniture covers.

best value for the price

I thought I’d wait a year to write a review on this. It gave me a chance to see how well it stood up up to our hot summers and cold winters. I’m happy report that the cover is exceeding my expectations. My expectations were on the low side due to the price I paid but I can say this cover looks pretty good and will be with us for quite some time. It’s well constructed and and the material is very study.

Can't speak to the durability just yet as it hasn't even been with me for a full season yet but the material does feel pretty thick and it's been handling all the April rain fine so far. Bought for my Weber Summit 4-burner model, wanted something brown or tan since I'm not a big fan of the black grill covers (let alone the ones with branding on them). It could be a bit longer in terms of the height dimension but only by an inch or so, it still covers 99% of the grill so I'm just being a touch picky. The cords that pull in to tighten the cover are a bit weak as well, wish they had just a bit more tension but it fits so well it's probably not necessary anyhow.
