Subject says it all. I've tried several brands of "premium" covers for
my weber gas grill. Include Weber brand and whatever brookstone sells,
plus some others. The best so far is some type of cloth with a PVC
like coating, but after a season (usually less) out in sun/rain they
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

Isn't that what sheds are for?


Yes and everyone has one in their backyard just like you do.

Glad I held my tongue about covering the Weber.
Mine's been outside for 14 years uncovered without harm.
Rain, snow, sun and wind.
But no bird crap, sap, pine needles or leaves bother it.
They go for my cars.
The OP needs to cover that Weber.
To-the-ground covers trap moisture.
He might bungee a small tarp over the top to keep it clean.
Here's one, a 4x6. Cheap.

I had a Vermont Castings grill and it had an excellent cover, very durable.
Problem is, the grill rusted out after 10 years. Any place a holde was
drilled, places where the gas burners passed, all rusted over time. The
burners and grates were still in great condition, but the parts that held
them went to crap. I think it was because the cover held moisture.

I bought a stainless steel Weber Summit and have no plans to cover it. I
may just tarp the top. The grill should outlast me.
