The best barbecue covers, compared.
Top pick: GrillTough, 147 cm – Highest listing score among covers whose reviews are their own: 86, with 4.7 from 9,120, a vinyl coating, and 1.52 kg. Best value: Kauytt, 145 cm – Lowest price among own-review covers scoring at least 80: £9.99, score 84, with agreeing size lines. Updated 21.10.2026.
Most barbecues in the UK stay outside, so a barbecue cover is a textile shell against rain and sun, not a bag for a cupboard. You separate a sound buy by shape, then by length, depth, and height with the lid shut, then by straps or buckles, then by coating and weight. Denier is yarn weight, not a waterproof score. A coated cloth can stop rain and still trap damp against the steel. Do not average a title that clashes with the item line. The [barbecue cover buying guide](/hub/grill-accessories/barbecue-cover/sub/barbecue-cover-buying-guide) puts shape, size, fastening, coating, and weight in that order. A line that only says it fits is not the part. They are not covers cut for one model number. Round kettle covers and rectangular gas covers are different products. The only round cover is the RICHIE / PJDH listing at a stated 73 × 71 cm. Most of the rectangles are about 132–147 cm long. Longer sheets are the Ezilif at 165 cm and the BEEWAY at 170 cm. A bullet that lists Weber beside Char-Broil is a size hint, not a part.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What shape is the barbecue?
GrillTough’s GC003 is a rectangular cover at £34.99, with 4.7 from 9,120 amazon.co.uk ratings that belong to this ASIN. The cloth is polyester with a vinyl coating and the stated weight is 1.52 kg, so it sits with Grillman as one of the two heaviest covers here. The title is 147 × 61 × 122 cm and the item line is 138 × 60 × 108 cm, which means you cannot quote a single length. The bullets say to let the grill cool completely, then hose the cover and air dry it. Reviewers mention the straps when the wind gets under the hem. No storage bag and no air vent are stated. It is the top pick in this set because it has the highest listing score among covers whose reviews are not copied from another ASIN. Weber and Char-Broil appear as examples; the brand field is GrillTough, not a Weber part.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the heaviest well-reviewed cover in this set that has its own star line, and you will measure past the size clash.
Less suitable: You need one length that the title and the item line both print, or an official Weber part number.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the GrillTough listing say to let the barbecue cool?
Yes. The bullets say to let the grill cool completely before covering, then hose the cover and air dry it.
Do the size lines on GrillTough agree?
No. The title says 147 × 61 × 122 cm. The item-dimensions line says 138 × 60 × 108 cm. Measure your barbecue and do not average the two.
Is this the official Weber cover?
No. Weber, Char-Broil, and Nexgrill are named as examples. The brand field is GrillTough, model GC003.
Grillman GLCRBK52 is £32.99 and 1.83 kg, the heaviest cover in this comparison, and the material field says polyvinyl chloride. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 46,986 ratings, the largest separate review pool here. The title is 132 × 66 × 109 cm and the item line is 109 × 66 × 109 cm, so the length is not settled. Fastening is hook and loop. Reviews often call the cloth thick, and one UK review says it fitted an Outback Spectrum hooded 3-burner better than that barbecue’s original cover, which is one barbecue rather than a fit list. Other reviews report a cover lasting about a year, so a heavy listing is not a stated lifespan. No denier, no cool-down line, and no vent are printed. It sits just under the top pick on the listing score because the size clash costs the size points.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cover with the most UK ratings in this set and you can check the 132 cm title against the 109 cm item line.
Less suitable: You need agreeing length figures, a printed denier, or reviews that describe several winters rather than about a year.
Specifications
Common questions
What fabric does the Grillman material field name?
Polyvinyl chloride. The listing does not print a denier such as 420D.
Do Grillman’s length figures agree?
No. The title says 132 cm long. The item line says 109 cm long. Width 66 cm and height 109 cm appear on both.
Does a review name a particular barbecue?
One UK review says it fitted an Outback Spectrum hooded 3-burner and preferred it to that barbecue’s original cover. That is one barbecue, not a fit guarantee.
The 165 cm Ezilif is £17.74 and 840 g, with 420D Oxford and a PU inner claim, and both size lines say 165 × 70 × 125 cm. On this capture it was rank 2 in Barbecue Covers. Fastening is a buckle and a drawstring, and the listing mentions green reflective handles. The 4.6 from 735 ratings is the same line and the same opening reviews as the 90 cm Ezilif, so that count is not evidence about this length alone. UV50+ is the seller’s wording, not a measured result in the file. There is no stated air vent and no cool-down instruction. The listing score is 88, above the top pick, and it still has no badge because the review block is shared. A storage bag is not confirmed in the extracted bullets.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a wide trolley near 165 cm and you will not treat the shared 735 ratings as this size alone.
Less suitable: You are choosing by a star count that belongs to this length only, or the barbecue is nearer 90 cm than 165 cm.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the 735-rating line only for the 165 cm cover?
The same 4.6 from 735 and the same opening reviews appear on the 90 cm Ezilif. Treat it as a family figure.
What fastening does Ezilif 165 cm state?
Buckle and drawstring, plus green reflective handles. A storage bag is not clearly listed in the extracted bullets.
Do the size lines agree?
Yes. Title and item line both say 165 × 70 × 125 cm.
The 90 cm Ezilif is £13.58 and 670 g, with 420D Oxford and matching size lines at 90 × 70 × 110 cm. That length is a short barbecue, not a 145 cm gas trolley, even where the listing names Weber or Char-Broil as examples. Buckle and drawstring match the longer Ezilif, and a highlight mentions reflective handles. The star line is the same 4.6 from 735 as the 165 cm ASIN, with the same opening reviews, so those comments are not pinned to 90 cm. At 670 g it is lighter than the 165 cm sibling at 840 g. A bag is not confirmed, and there is no vent. Rank 3 in Barbecue Covers on this capture is Amazon’s list, not a separate durability test of this size.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a short barbecue around 90 cm long and you want 420D rather than an unstated denier.
Less suitable: A wide gas trolley, or anyone treating the shared 735 ratings as proof about the 90 cm length.
Specifications
Common questions
Who is the 90 cm Ezilif for?
The title is 90 cm long. That is a short barbecue, not a 145 cm gas trolley. Measure before you rely on the Weber and Char-Broil examples.
Are its reviews separate from the 165 cm Ezilif?
No. The files share the 4.6 from 735 line and the same opening reviews.
What does it weigh?
670 g, against 840 g for the 165 cm Ezilif in this set.
Flintronic is £11.59, 4.6 from 696 ratings, with a 76 × 66 × 110 cm title and a 30 × 2.5 × 23 cm item line that does not describe the cover. Weight is 310 g and no denier is printed. A bag is included. One review reports a year outside without obvious wear. That is one report.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a small barbecue and you will measure it, because the catalogue line and the title do not describe the same object.
Less suitable: You need the item-dimensions line to describe the cover itself, or a printed denier.
Specifications
Common questions
Why does Flintronic show 30 × 2.5 × 23 cm?
That item line is far smaller than the 76 × 66 × 110 cm title. Treat 30 cm as a packed-size line, and still measure. Reviewers say the cover seems larger than 76 cm.
Is a denier stated?
No. The material field says Oxford. Weight is 310 g.
What fastening do reviews mention?
Hook-and-loop at two levels plus a cord, which goes beyond the closure field’s single word drawstring. The bullets also say Velcro.
Kauytt is £9.99, with 4.6 from 211 ratings of its own, and it was rank 4 in Barbecue Covers on this capture. Title and item line both say 145 × 61 × 117 cm. The cloth is 210D Oxford with a PVC lining, at 470 g, and the bullets include a storage bag. Reviews praise the price and also call the cloth thin. The closure field says drawstring, while reviews mention hook-and-loop tapes, so the fastening on the parcel may not match one word on the page. There is no vent and no cool-down line. It is the best value here: the lowest price among covers with their own reviews and a listing score of at least 80. YOTOM is cheaper at £7.99 and stays unbadged because its listing score is 75.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a low shelf price on a 145 cm cover whose size lines match, and you accept 210D cloth.
Less suitable: You want 420D cloth, or a cover the reviews do not describe as thin.
Specifications
Common questions
Does Kauytt include a bag?
Yes. The bullets say a bag is included so the cover can be stored.
What denier is printed?
210D Oxford with a PVC lining. That is a lighter yarn than the 420D covers in this set. Weight is 470 g.
Do the measurements clash?
No. Title and item line both say 145 × 61 × 117 cm.
KHAMAL KM-BGC-02 is a small cover at £12.99 and 560 g, with 420D Oxford and a PU coating, and matching lines at 77 × 70 × 110 cm. The bullets include a storage bag, a drawstring, and buckles. The star line is 4.6 from only 44 ratings, which is too small a sample to treat as a winter of UK weather. One review says it left a kettle’s legs and the fat bucket exposed, so a short rectangle is not a stand-in for the round 73 cm cover if the legs must sit inside. The listing says to check the grill size. There is no vent. It suits a barbecue you have already measured near 77 cm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a small barbecue near 77 cm long and you will not treat 44 ratings as a long-term test.
Less suitable: A large trolley, or a kettle whose legs and fat bucket must sit inside the cover.
Specifications
Common questions
Is KHAMAL a large trolley cover?
No. The stated size is 77 × 70 × 110 cm. The listing says to check the grill size. A review says it left kettle legs and the fat bucket exposed.
How many ratings are there?
44 on this capture, at 4.6. That is too few to treat as a durability result.
Is a bag included?
Yes. The bullets say a storage bag is included.
This is the only round cover in the set: £13.99, 260 g, 420D PU-lined Oxford, stated around 73 cm for a kettle. The title says 73 × 71 cm and the item line says 73 × 73 × 71 cm, which is close rather than a packed-size clash. The brand field is PJDH, model DHKBC73EU-4BK, while the title says RICHIE. The star line is 4.5 from 450 ratings on this ASIN. One review reports two years on a small barbecue, and another says the cords do not hold and the cover blows off, which fits the lightest weight here. A review about a faulty igniter is not about this product. The title also says gas grill, which does not turn a round cut into a rectangular trolley cover.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have a kettle near 57–73 cm and you will add a better tie if the garden is windy.
Less suitable: A rectangular gas trolley, or a windy plot if you will not add a tie beyond the drawstring.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a gas-trolley cover?
The title says round and gives 73 × 71 cm for a kettle. Do not use it on a rectangular four-burner. The title also says gas grill, which does not change the round cut.
Which brand name is on the listing?
The title says RICHIE. The brand field says PJDH. The model is DHKBC73EU-4BK.
What do reviews say about wind?
One review reports two years on a small barbecue. Another says the cords do not hold and the cover blows off. It is the lightest cover in this set at 260 g.
The 132 cm BEEWAY is £11.89 and 450 g, with 210D Oxford polyester and agreeing lines at 132 × 66 × 109 cm. The bullets add self-stick straps, a bottom rope, four reflective strips, and a storage bag. The 4.4 from 4,563 is the same line, the same opening reviews, and the same hero image as the 170 cm BEEWAY, so that count is a family figure. The shared text often calls the cloth thin, and it includes straps that do not meet, a cord that will not pull tight, and rips after about a year or two. Those complaints cannot be pinned to 132 cm alone. There is no vent. You are buying a mid-length cover on price and a printed size, not on 4,563 separate reviews of this length.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You measured near 132 × 66 × 109 cm and you are buying on price, knowing the review text is shared and often says thin.
Less suitable: You need reviews that mention only the 132 cm cover, or a heavier cloth than 210D.
Specifications
Common questions
Are the 4,563 ratings only for 132 cm?
No. The 170 cm BEEWAY shows the same 4.4 from 4,563, the same opening reviews, and the same hero image URL.
What do those shared reviews complain about?
Thin cloth, straps that do not meet, a cord that will not pull tight, and rips after about a year or two.
What is included?
The bullets say self-stick straps, a bottom rope, four reflective strips, and a storage bag. Weight is 450 g.
The 170 cm BEEWAY is £15.29 and 570 g, with agreeing lines at 170 × 61 × 120 cm and the same 210D claim as the shorter BEEWAY. Extra length does not mean a heavier yarn. The rating block, rank line, and hero image match the 132 cm file, so thin-cloth and rip comments cannot be pinned to this size alone. Fastening is straps plus a bottom rope, and the bullets mention reflective strips and a bag. At 570 g it is a little heavier than the 450 g sibling, and still under the 800 g line used in the listing score. There is no vent. It is the long rectangle in this pair if you have measured near 170 cm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You have measured a wide barbecue near 170 cm and you accept that the reviews are not separated by size.
Less suitable: You need a review pool that is only about 170 cm, or you measured nearer 132 cm.
Specifications
Common questions
How is the 170 cm BEEWAY different from the 132 cm one?
The title and item line say 170 × 61 × 120 cm and the weight is 570 g, versus 132 × 66 × 109 cm and 450 g. Price is £15.29 versus £11.89. The star line, opening reviews, rank line, and hero image match the 132 cm file.
Is the cloth a heavier denier because the cover is longer?
No. The bullet still says 210D. Extra length does not mean a heavier yarn.
What fastening is stated?
Straps on the closure field, and the bullets add a bottom rope and reflective strips.
YOTOM GC-58 is the £7.99 floor in this set, with 4.3 from 1,794 ratings in its own pool, the lowest stars here. Both size lines say 147 × 61 × 117 cm, and the weight is 431 g. The material field says Oxford fabric, with no denier and no named PU, PVC, or vinyl coating. Fastening is a drawstring and cord buckles, and a bullet says it folds into a bag. Reviews split between a large cover that sheds rain and cloth they call thin, that flaps, or that does not sit like the photo. Others say rain beads and the straps hold. The listing score is 75, so the low price does not earn the best-value badge under the rule used here.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest 147 cm cover in this set and you have read the thin-cloth reviews.
Less suitable: You want a named coating or a printed denier, or you are choosing on stars rather than the £7.99 price.
Specifications
Common questions
What is the lowest price in this set?
YOTOM at £7.99 on this capture. The star line is 4.3 from 1,794, the lowest stars here.
Is a denier stated?
No. The material field says Oxford fabric. Weight is 431 g.
What do reviews say about the cloth?
Several call the plastic thin, say it flaps, or say it does not sit like the photo. Others say rain beads and the straps hold.
RICHIE’s 132 cm cover is £15.88 and 440 g, with 4.3 from 219 ratings that belong to this listing. Both size lines say 132 × 66 × 109 cm, and the material is 420D Oxford with a PU coating. The title says hook and loop while the closure field says drawstring, and reviews mention Velcro. One review says the straps came off within a week. A bullet says the cover is not designed to cover the wheels entirely, so the barbecue can still be moved. At 440 g, reviews also describe it as lightweight rather than heavy duty. There is no vent and no cool-down line. It is a mid-length 420D option if you check the straps on arrival.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 132 cm 420D cover and you will check the straps on arrival because the listing disagrees with itself.
Less suitable: You need one fastening name you can trust before the parcel arrives, or a cover reviewers call heavy.
Specifications
Common questions
Does RICHIE cover the wheels?
The bullet says it is not designed to cover the wheels entirely, so the barbecue can still be moved with the cover on.
Which fastening is listed?
The title says hook and loop. The closure field says drawstring. Reviews mention Velcro, and one says the straps came off within a week.
How heavy is it?
440 g. Reviews include comments that it feels lightweight rather than heavy duty.
Twelve amazon.co.uk listings, captured on 19 October 2026, were scored from shelf price, stars, review ownership, size lines, fabric claims, and weight. This is a listing score, not a weather test. A waterproof sentence is not a water-column rating, and no British Standard for barbecue covers is used. The top pick is the highest score among covers whose reviews are their own. Best value is the lowest price among those own-review covers scoring at least 80.
Stars
60%The amazon.co.uk rating divided by 5, then times 60. A 4.7 star line scores higher than a 4.3 line. Stars are not a rain test.
Review ownership
15%Up to 15 points when the ratings belong to this ASIN. 8 points when the review block is shared with another ASIN in this set, which applies to both BEEWAY lengths and both Ezilif lengths.
Size lines
10%10 points when the title size and the item size agree. 0 when they clash, including a packed-size line that does not describe the cover.
Fabric claim
10%10 points when a denier is printed or a vinyl, PVC, or PU coating is stated. Oxford with no denier and no named coating scores 0 on this block.
Weight
5%5 points when the item weight is at least 800 g. Lighter covers still appear; they simply do not take this block.
Order the decision as shape, then three measurements, then straps or buckles, then coating and weight. A star line only helps when it belongs to that size. The notes below follow the amazon.co.uk capture of 19 October 2026. None of the scores is a weather test.
A barbecue cover is a textile shell over a whole outdoor barbecue. In the UK most barbecues stay outside in rain and sun, which is why a cover is a normal spare rather than a cupboard bag. This page compares twelve universal centimetre boxes on amazon.co.uk, from £7.99 to £34.99, captured on 19 October 2026. They are not covers cut for one model number. Weber’s own covers, and vented Outback or AeroCover products, cost more and are the reference when a listing only says it fits Weber.
A bullet that names Weber beside Char-Broil is a size hint, not a Weber part number. Spirit covers and the 57 cm charcoal cover are different products and different prices. Measure the barbecue you own.
GrillTough, Grillman, and Flintronic print figures that do not describe one object. Flintronic’s 30 × 2.5 × 23 cm line is a packed size beside a 76 cm title. Do not average the clash.
GrillTough says to let the grill cool completely. A hot lid can melt cloth. Outback and World of BBQs say a waterproof cover can still trap damp, so dry the steel, wipe fat off, and lift the cover after heavy rain.
Shape decides the product before price does. A round cover at about 73 cm is for a kettle. A rectangle at 132–170 cm is for a gas trolley. KHAMAL at 77 cm, Flintronic’s 76 cm title, and the 90 cm Ezilif are short barbecues, not 145 cm trolleys. The only round cover here is RICHIE / PJDH. Then measure. Lid shut, shelves as you store them, then length, depth, and height.
Coating and weight belong in one check. PU, PVC, or vinyl is the water claim the score looks for. GrillTough states a vinyl coating at 1.52 kg. Grillman’s material field says polyvinyl chloride at 1.83 kg, the heaviest cover here. 420D with a PU inner is printed on both Ezilif lengths, both RICHIE listings, and KHAMAL. 210D is printed on Kauytt and both BEEWAY lengths. YOTOM and Flintronic name Oxford and no denier.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are replacing a torn cover on a large gas trolley that stays outside. GrillTough is the top pick if you will measure past the 147 cm title and the 138 cm item line. It has its own 4.7 from 9,120 and a stated vinyl coating at 1.52 kg.
You need a round cover, not a 145 cm rectangle. The only round cover in this set is RICHIE / PJDH at a stated 73 × 71 cm, 260 g, with a drawstring. Add a tie if the plot is windy. A Weber 57 cm cover at £39.99 is a different product.
You have measured a short barbecue and a 76–90 cm cover is the match. The 90 cm Ezilif has agreeing lines and printed 420D at £13.58. Treat its 4.6 from 735 as shared with the 165 cm Ezilif, not as proof about 90 cm alone.
GrillTough at about £34.99 is the top pick: listing score 86, 4.7 from 9,120 ratings that belong to this ASIN, vinyl coating, 1.52 kg. The title and the item line disagree, so measure both. Kauytt at about £9.99 is the best value, score 84, with agreeing lines at 145 cm and reviews that call the 210D cloth thin. The 165 cm Ezilif scores 88 and stays unbadged because its star line is shared. YOTOM at £7.99 is cheaper and scores 75, so it does not take the best-value mark.
GrillTough, 147 cm
Highest listing score among covers whose reviews are their own: 86, with 4.7 from 9,120, a vinyl coating, and 1.52 kg.
Kauytt, 145 cm
Lowest price among own-review covers scoring at least 80: £9.99, score 84, with agreeing size lines.
