Here are our reviews of the 10 best grill covers that are going to keep your grill out of the rain to cut down on cleaning and maintenance.
1. iCOVER BBQ Grill Cover
There are a few key boxes that your grill cover is going to need to tick in order to be of the quality you need. The material is perhaps the most important as this needs to be able to cope with the harsh weather but also the sharp edges that can be on a grill.
At 600 denier, the polyester fabric is going to be able to hold up very well and give you the durability you need. It can rip in the long-term but if you are careful with it, this grill cover should be able to last you a good number of years.
One of the key features of this cover is that it has a mesh vent on the front of it. This helps with the drying out of the grill and can help to prevent condensation or the build-up of bad smells. It’s a good feature but one that does have its downsides.
During the harshest of weather, rain can get through the rain mesh which can negate the whole purpose of it. This will only happen in the worst of conditions where it is more or less raining sideways and therefore it’s not a huge issue.
There are seven size options available which will allow you to get a perfect fit. The hook and loop sides of the cover are going to allow you to cinch it so that it doesn’t blow away in a strong gust. It is also waterproof and available in either black or khaki.
