Want to purchase &amp; leave in our uncovered outdoor bar, how has it help up in weather? Do you cover with anything else beside the cover it came with?

So far so good. I air it out from time to time to keep any mold from forming. Occasionally, if I leave the condiments tray in place, and it rains, it will fill up with water. I simply turn it upside down when I'm not using it and it works great. Also, make sure to prepare an area for the ice bin to drain out of the bar.

Friends:* It does not come with a fabric cover......* Btw, it is too light to stay in place in strong winds even thought it comes with a weight to hold it down. After the first time it blew off our outdoor deck I bolted it to the wooden outdoor deck with two landscape screws...... I opened the front door and used a piece of 6" x 1' scrap lumber to distribute the force. The two landscape screws go through the scrap lumber then through the bottom of the grill then into our wooden deck.We are using the grill outdoors at our Ranch in the remote Sangre de Cristo mountain range of Colorado with seasonal Chinook winds.You can Google my name to learn more.....Arthur von Boennighausen Friends:* It does not come with a fabric cover......* Btw, it is too light to stay in place in strong winds even thought it comes with a weight to hold it down.

Put it in a covered area after use. Like in your garage. If you leave it out, it will rust. Mine has rust but it adds to the look. I will get two seasons out of it, which translates to about $35.00 per year.

get any sunbrella cover (they last)--do a search online. This table's wicker broke apart under the glass very soon so no durable so a cover may be a good idea.

I considered doing the same thing. But instead, ended up keeping it inside, once I realized I had enough room. The paint seems to be a powder coating, so it's baked on. My concern would be for the wooden bar. If I had kept it outside, I would have sprayed all the metal parts with a waterproofer and kept it covered with a tarp.

i bought a cheap cover at wal mart to protect it. I put it in the garage. i had thought about leaving it outside but was just a little leary.

We just bought about 3 weeks ago. So far I see no problems with it. I check it out last night before the big storm and was ok. The insulation seems ok.I was very impressed how thick & hard it was. *(But I do have up on the deck, I have a tarp over it to help shelter it from the elements.)

We cover it to keep it clean. I don't think rain will affect it since it is metal with powder coat finish.

I have had mine for one year now. I brought it under the eaves for the winter and it was fine. I think too many years in the snow (especially like we had in the north east this year) would do a number, so I would have at least put a cover over it. Note that stink bugs can get in it easily so if you bring it inside you will have to clean it out.

I have left it outside in the summer with a plastic cover over it, but it folds up nicely and I hang it in my garage for the winter, I suppose it could be left outside during the winter if you covered it with a plastic grill cover.

It looks pretty weatherproof. I have one under cover but the other one is SW facing and gets wet occasionally. I do not recall any statements in the instructions relative to keeping it dry or out of the sun. They seem built for the outdoors. Good luck!

I used protective spray on mine before I took it outside and it's been outdoors all winter. I didn't cover it or anything and still looks great!!

You can try buying an extra large cover and slide it over. Measure the width of the Bar B Q and see if there is one out there big enough. My cover is 2 1/2 years old. It has faded, but no rips. You can't leave it out in the winter.

No, it didn't come with a cover. I never actually thought about one until you asked :( I store it under a covered area when not in use. I love it. This is my second one in seven years.

I have mine in a barbecue island where it is covered top, back and sides, but the front is open to the weather. I'm not sure it can be completely uncovered.

Sorry, i dont know what you mean... I had someone measure my outdoor bar and told me exactly what to buy. My co-worker did the installation. 3 people were needed when we had to put it in place. I am very happy with my purchase and use it all the time.
