My Tried & True order arrived on time in a plastic bag inside a mailing bag. It is similar to the covers I ordered to protect my front porch rocking chairs, and I like the sturdy material. I ordered a slightly larger size just for ease of covering the fire pit, and I tuck some of it under the firepit legs so it won't blow away. It's much tougher than the cheap plastic coverit's replacing, and I think it will last a while. I'll treat it with a fabric material protectant.
