10 Best Grill Covers of 2025: Protect Your Grilling Investment

The Ultima BBQ Grill Cover is one of the more robust selections in our guide, scoring 7.5/10 for its heavy-duty 600D solution-dyed polyester and adjustable fit. In our testing the drawcords and buckle straps provided a secure hold in gusty conditions and the built-in covered mesh vents were especially helpful at cutting condensation and mildew growth, though we found the 29" size can be snug to install and may not fully drape over wheels. If you want long-term tear strength and venting, this is a strong pick with a few sizing caveats.

GrillTough offers a heavy-duty, waterproof option that scored 7/10 in our guide for strong overall protection and security. We found the thick material and adjustable straps kept the cover in place during storms and the waterproofing did a good job keeping rain off the grill, but during our review the bulkier build made it harder to fit on smaller grills and some users did report UV fading over extended sun exposure. If durability and a tight wind fit matter more than compactness, this is a dependable pick.

The Rip-Stop Grill Cover starts with promise thanks to heavy-duty 24-mil polyester and an interior coating, but it scored only 5/10 in our evaluation because of long-term backing issues. Our experience shows it offers solid initial protection against weather and abrasion, yet during extended sun exposure the interior backing can deteriorate, reducing its effectiveness over time. This cover is a reasonable short-term guard if you want rugged material up front, but plan for replacement sooner if it sits in direct sunlight regularly.

Affordable and straightforward, the Duck Covers Elite scored a 6/10 in our review and is ideal if you want basic waterproof protection without a big outlay. In our testing it was lightweight and easy to put on, and the weather-resistant fabric kept rain at bay, but we noticed the material faded quickly in direct sun and some users reported the Velcro straps don’t hold up well in high winds. If budget is the priority, it’s a sensible short-term guard, but long-term durability is limited.

Classic Accessories’ Ravenna cover is one of our top performers at 8.5/10, offering excellent value with heavy-duty Gardelle One fabric and thoughtful design touches. During our review we appreciated the reinforced padded handles that make removal easy and the air vents that reduced condensation and wind lofting, while the water-resistant, UV-protective material held up consistently. Our testing did note it won’t always cover wheels or legs completely and the elastic hem may need a tweak for the perfect snug fit, but overall it’s a reliable long-term protector.

If you own a Kenyon built-in Texan grill, this cover is a tidy, high-quality option that earned a respectable 7/10 in our testing. We found the Sunbrella fabric impressively durable yet lightweight, with clips on the lid sides that keep it locked in place during wind and rain while offering UV protection and easy wipe-clean maintenance. During our review the downside was obvious: its limited compatibility means it’s only practical for Kenyon’s Texan range, so double-check your model before buying.

If you have a Blackstone 36" griddle, this branded cover fits like a glove and makes maintenance simple, earning a 6.5/10 in our testing for fit and convenience. We found it lightweight and easy to handle for regular use, and the cut and dimensions provide excellent coverage, but during our review some users experienced water seepage and a few durability complaints after heavy storms. For perfect fit and everyday protection it’s a strong choice, though heavy rain-prone locations may warrant an upgraded waterproof option.

The Unicook Pellet Grill Cover earned a 6.5/10 by balancing thick, heavy-duty material and a versatile fit for models like the Traeger 22 series and Recteq Bullseye. Our experience shows the heavy-duty fastening straps keep the cover from slipping in wind, and the water- and UV-resistant fabric holds up well, but during our review sharp corners like the hopper lid caused premature wear and the cover can develop holes over harsh winters. It’s practical protection if you add edge padding or take extra care around sharp hardware.

The Unicook Grill Cover scored 8/10 for dependable day-to-day protection thanks to fade-resistant fabric and a vinyl coating that extends life. In our testing the heavy fastening straps and sturdy top handles kept the cover secure in wind and made it easy to remove, though we found the material a bit stiff which can make fitting on oddly shaped grills trickier and some reports question absolute water resistance. If you want durable, low-fade protection and don’t need a flexible drape, this cover is a solid, secure choice.

The SHINESTAR Pellet Grill Cover is a convenient, zipper-equipped option that makes installation quick and scored 5.5/10 in our review due to longevity concerns. We liked the heavy-duty feel and the easy-access zipper during our testing, but our experience shows it can fade and crack within a couple of seasons and the lack of air vents may trap moisture against the grill. For buyers wanting simplicity and a snug zip-up fit, it works well short-term, but plan to replace it sooner than premium covers.
