With a fire pit, you can cook up marshmallows, hot dogs, and ghost stories right in your backyard. You might be tempted to toss a tarp over your fire pit to keep it clean and dry, but it needs more protection. Tarps can easily blow off in high winds, and also aren't overly breathable, which can cause damage.
Investing in an outdoor fire pit cover from Coverstore gives it maximum protection from the elements so you can have more toasty evenings under the stars.
When to use Your Fire Pit Cover
To keep your fire pit in tip-top condition, use a cover whenever your pit is not in use. Let it cool and clean out the ash before placing on the cover.
Here are conditions your cover can protect your fire pit from:
- Dirt and Debris: A cover keeps your fire pit from becoming covered with dirt and debris, especially during high winds when miscellaneous debris could hit your pit and scratch it.
- Snow, Ice, and Rain: A cover keeps the bowl of your pit dry so you don’t need to clean out soggy ash. Your fire pit is ready to use anytime, even after a rain or snow storm.
- Sun: Protect your pit from UV rays to prevent fading, cracking, and structural damage.
- Insects and Pests: When you want to create a fire, you don’t want to deal with burning insects and pests out of their nests. A fire pit cover helps keep these pests from building nests in the first place.
How to Measure for Your Fire Pit Cover
Carefully measure your fire pit before purchasing a cover. Follow our intuitive guides to be sure you order the right cover the first time around.
Round Fire Pit
Diameter: Measure from one side to the other across the top-center of the fire pit.
Height: Measure from the ground to the top of the fire pit. Subtract 1-2 inches to allow for air flow.
Check out our downloadable guide for more information.
Square/Rectangular Fire Pit
Width: Measure across the widest side of the fire pit, such as across the table top or leg base.
Depth: Measure the deepest point of the fire pit, such as side to side across the top-center, the area adjacent from the width.
Height: Measure from the ground to the top of the fire pit. Subtract 1-2 inches to allow for air flow.
