What is the material used in the Hickory BBQ Grill Cover? Is it fabric? I am tired of cheap plastic covers that keep tearing.

Hello, Yes it is a fabric. It appears to be a laminated fabric - a textile exterior bonded to a poly inner liner. I had the same problem with the plastic covers that lasted less than a year. This cover is much more rugged.

It's a combination of fabric and plastic. The outside is a canvas fabric and the inside has a plastic liner. I had the same problem as kparsons. The fabric does not appear to have any UV protection so my cover faded within a few months and began ripping at the six month mark. At the year mark it was shredded at the top. I live in Florida and the grill cover gets direct sunlight all year long, so your mileage may vary. It appears that most of the customer reviews are posted immediately after they received the cover, in which case the cover looks and feels like a five star cover. Unfortunately, the cover deteriorates rapidly. I would not recommend this cover. It's a combination of fabric and plastic. The outside is a canvas fabric and the inside has a plastic liner.

This grill cover is far from plastic, it almost feels like canvas with a lining,with the heavy duty stitching and being water proof ,hope I can get a couple good of good years out of it.

It is made of a canvas material. I boiught this in Julu of 2013 and in December it was splitting down the sides. My grill sits in the direct Florida sun so it does get alot of abuse, however I did except it to last more than 5 months. They did send me a new one free of charge since it does have a 3 year warrenty.

hi jim, the hamper is not made of plastic, it seems to me to be some type of wicker or bamboo or palm like type of material. i love the hamper. it's durable and it's a nice full size, holding lots of laundry, as well as very attractive. i purchased the natural/tan colored one, as pictured. perhaps you can call customer service and ask to speak to a live person about the exact material used?

It is a nylon material, but it has worn well and not faded like other covers we have purchased. It is not a permanent solution,but we have had them on the car for a year while my son saves for new seats.

It came cast iron grey, but I bought a can of high temp black paint for it. And it is time to recoat BTW the cover has already failed, but any $20.00 small BBQ grill cover will work just fine.

Yes we found it to be thicker than any in past and secures much better. We have also had them rip due to high wind - in fact we are in such a windy location, we've had a tree break and we have to keep our grill chained down.So far this cover is much better than past covers- in perfect condition

It's fabric, not plastic. Personally, I like that better because the old chair I had was vinyl/plastic and it cracked at the seams and stuff.

Hmmm...I bought this for our church as a mom's chair for the nursery so I don't have it at home nor have I spent much time looking at it. The fabric is nice and, as I recall, it would appear to be a canvas blend, as you suspect. It is not a plastic-like mesh. I rocked a little one in it last Sunday morning and it was comfy. He fell asleep. Hope that helps.

There's not much one can write about a BBQ cover, but here goes, It is a black, thick heavy-weight cover with convenient handles to ease it over and it is made so well it will probable last longer than the BBQ itself. I failed to take measurements because it fitted so well and the price is great. What more could I add? sincerely G. Dennis

I have too say, I'm having a hard time telling. The cover has held up remarkably well considering the high use I put on it taking it everywhere with me. There is one tiny corner where the protective edge is worn away and I tried to make out the composition of the cover material (protective edging is a soft pliable plastic). Even cutting a tiny sliver still didn't tell me beyond a doubt, but I'm leaning toward an actual think leather for the covering. Sorry I can't be more sure.

It is very heavy polyester, however, I would not put it on a hot grill. If the grill is too hot to leave your hand on, it's too hot to cover.

I did not weigh the item but it is high quality and not plastic. My particular grill allows any cover that's not held on to blow off. But that could be due to where the grill sits and the way the wind blows between the houses. I've attached small C clamps to each end of the cover and used a bungee cord across the underside. My cover now stays on in the strongest wind. But I would buy this one again the next time I need to replace it which won't be for several years based on the last one that was identical. And the cost was as low or lower as the cheaply made plastic ones.

Mine seems quite cheap, and I can not imagine that it will make it through the season and even one winter. I am inclined to use a tarp myself, but the cover is still functional. At this point, I don't know whether to recommend it or not, but I can certainly tell you that the cover seems thin and fragile, and is nothing like my thick Weber grill cover that is 4 or 5 times as large and at least 4x as thick - for only twice the price. I'll update this when the cover fails. Wish I could shed more light on this for you. I also wish that I could find the original listing for the Big Sky Fire Pit that I specifically ordered, since it indicated that it came with a cover, which is certainly not the case!

I would invest in a cheap cover to be honest. The one I got on Amazon works great, even in high wind. Brinkmann 812-1092-S Universal Grill Cover, 55-Inch. It has a draw string on the bottom to keep it in place nicely.

You should allow any grill to cool completely before you cover it with any fabric cover. Otherwise it's a fire hazard.

I've not had an issue with this yet but it is made from a material that is similar to the fabric used on RV roll out awnings. I would stop at an RV store and purchase a bottle of awning cleaner and try that. Alternatively, mix 1/8 cup of bleach and a good squirt of liquid dish soap with 5 gallons of water. Apply liberally to the cover and let sit for a few minutes but do not let the cover dry. Hose off well (you can lightly scrub using a brush if needed). Hope this helps...

The table top is plastic, pretty heavy-duty plastic, but I'd still be very careful about heat from your grill. You'd want to protect it from discoloration or warping. But it is compact, sturdy, and fine for holding food, so likely suitable for the other things you want to do with it.
