With temperatures heating up, it’s time to give your backyard bbq a perfect sheathing for the season. Whether you have a custom island bbq, a built-in, kettle-style bbq, or smoker, covering your outdoor essentials with weatherproof bbq covers should be a top tier priority.
Size Up Outdoor Protection
Mis fitting bbq covers have to be made to measure in order to best protect the functionality of your bbq. A looser cover provides easy access for pests and rodents to make a home for the summer, while tighter covers don’t stretch to fit the form of your bbq.
Further, improperly fitting covers expose your bbq to the worst of summer weather. Picking a snug-fitted bbq cover is the best way to protect your bbq not just for the summer but year round. This goes the same for table covers and any other covers.
If unable to find the right size for your bbq, custom covers can be tailor-made according to the exact measurements of your bbq. No matter if you have a standard bbq or a unique smoker, you can find or design a cover that you can rest assured will secure your bbq until you’re ready to put it to work once again.
Live in the Material World
While felt, flannel, and padded covers that use cotton batting are options best suited for indoor chair covers as they attract mice, squirrels, and other nesting pests when left outdoors. BBQ covers in hard-wearing, waterproof and durable material such as unlined vinyl, heavy-duty polyester, weather-proof nylon, and canvas can make for good material options.
Lightweight polyester is easy to handle as it is outfitted with straps and handles. It repels water and is pretty inexpensive. Whereas, oilcloth or treated cotton can be a little pricier, but as durable.
Synthetic fabrics provide solid protection with PVC-coated polyester or the more eco-friendly PVB backing version of polyester. Offering both water and UV-resistant, these materials prove to be economical and easy to maintain options.
Custom Covers: Great for Gifting
A lack of gifting ideas can prove to be a pain. Think outside the giftbox this holiday season with a custom fit bbq cover. A world of options exist for practicality with specific sizing, design, and shape that can be tailored just for you.
Custom covers for all types and brands of bbq’s not only provide exceptional protection but look great too. Once personalized with a logo, name, special quotes, or message, custom covers can prove to be incredible gifting options. You can even let your Dad know he’s got the best barbecue on the block and gift him a bbq cover with his name and a special message printed on it.
Security for the Season
Tie downs get the job done no matter the season. Whether you’re beating back cold winds in winter or securing the fort when sweltering summer storms roll through, tie downs provide backup to cover protection on your bbq top stoves.
BBQ covers with elastic bands at the bottom, or covers equipped with multiple grommets, seem to be the best fit. The elasticized bands cinch hold the cover in place even on windy days, while ones secured with tight straps and grommets ensure a snug fit and flawless appeal, providing excellent security for your bbq.
Care for Your Covers. Care for Your BBQ
Taking good care of your bbq means keeping it clean and protected when not in use. Make sure to get your bbq clean before placing the cover back on it.
Keeping an eye on bbq covers throughout the summer is crucial for bbq maintenance and safety. Make sure there are no rips or tears on covers to save yourself from investing in a new bbq the next season. Also, examine the nooks and crannies of your bbq for any vermin that might take up refuge during summer.
