Fits every type of barbecue
Trolley, smoker or kettle: the cover is sewn to your appliance and sits taut, without flapping. Tension straps and a drawcord in the hem hold it in place, and the ventilated construction keeps trapped heat and condensation from building up underneath.
Covers by barbecue type
Barbecues rarely come in standard sizes - a gas barbecue with a side burner needs a different cover than a smoker, a kettle or a trolley. We make every barbecue cover individually, with no minimum order. Several covers for an outdoor kitchen are sewn to fit just as precisely.
Gas barbecue
For gas barbecues with a lid, side burner and cabinet - hoses and side shelves are enclosed precisely.
Smoker
A smoker cover for barrel and offset smokers protects the chimney, firebox and steel from rust and weather.
Kettle & ceramic barbecue
A round cover for kettle and ceramic barbecues - keeps moisture out of the cooking chamber and protects the stand.
Trolley & outdoor kitchen
Large made to measure covers for barbecue trolleys and fixed outdoor kitchens - including corner runs and cut-outs. For special shapes, simply upload a sketch.
Fabric & properties
A good barbecue cover has to do two things at once: keep rain out and still be ventilated, so that no condensation forms and the grate does not rust underneath. We do not solve this with a "breathable" fabric but through the construction: we sew from Cover-PVC, a vapour-tight, PVC-coated polyester fabric with a 4,000 mm water column - so it really is waterproof. Ventilation comes from at least two concealed vents under flaps and fabric folds, plus a defined ground clearance of at least 5 cm, so moisture escapes and the steel stays dry. Seams are carefully sewn and, on request, additionally sealed with welded tape; the hem carries tension straps and a drawcord. Made to measure means the cover sits close.
How to measure correctly
The most common worry with a made to measure cover is that it will not fit in the end. Three measurements and a few simple steps are all it takes - and if in doubt, we check your measurements together before production.
Measure width, depth and height
Measure at the widest and highest point - including side shelves, handles and the lid closed.
Allow for an overhang
An overhang of a few centimetres lets rain drip off and keeps the cover from dragging on the ground.
Choose the fastening
The standard is tension straps with click buckles plus a drawcord in the hem - storm-proof around legs or corner points, instead of elastic that goes slack or single eyelets that tear out.
Matching covers
For the barbecue area and beyond we sew made to measure covers for many areas around the house and garden.
