Subject says it all. I've tried several brands of "premium" covers for

all develop pinholes and or cracks that make them leaky as a sieve.

And I'm in NE Ohio, not some scorched earth hell-hole desert.

I don't mind paying for quality, I just can't find it.

Anyone know a brand/type that lasts?

i never cover my grill, its a outside appliance designed to live
outdoors...........

do you cover your car? cover your house?

a well designed gas grill should do fine outdoors

I live in the woods. If I don't cover it, it's soon covered with bird
crap, leaves and needles from the trees get wedged in all the little
cracks and openings, and it get's loaded up with sap droplets. If you
use it with sap and bird droppings on it, it bakes in on and it
becomes much harder to clean. Rain does not remove baked on sap and
droppings.

I don't have time to clean it and hose it off the 3-4 times a week I
use it during the season; much easier to pull the cover off and be
ready to go on a nice clean grill.
