I am writing after 1 year of careful use My BBQ is stored winter in a garden shed, and was under a canopy, this means that the cover is not subject to conditions very rude (not cold, snow or sun). I always waited for my BBQ has cooled to cover it with this cover (and as carefully as possible to avoid any hitch). Result: after one year, the cover is good for the trash. Its material has disintegrated as a biodegradable material, the cover is all cracked and torn so that once again I took the greatest precautions. In short, a bad product to avoid if you do not wish to change it every year.
