I use this to protect my grill from the weather and it does a good job. However, for the cost of the grill cover it does not last as long as I would expect it would. I have bought cheaper covers for a lot less at other discount stores made out of much thinner and cheaper plastic materials that have lasted longer under the same conditions. Granted they are not custom fit but when you can by three of them for the price of one of these, why by this one?
