I'd appreciate any estimates on how long this grill cover will last in 3-4 hours of southern Arizona sun each day.

I've only had it for a couple of weeks, but it seems pretty strong. It's a heavy material.

Afraid I can be be of little help. I have mine covered and shielded from the sun. However, as the cover is black, I don't expect it would surive a summer in my nck of the wood if exposed to the eliments.

If you want me to take pictures of mine and send them to you I will, but I wouldn't bother with this product. Mine in the Charleston sun has many holes in it. And we have humidity that you will lack. Seek a more durable material.

No way to tell, Bill. I suggest that you lightly spray the cover with a sun protectant a couple of times each year like you probably already use on your vehicle's interior. It's a good cover and *should* last multiple years, even in the direct AZ sun.

I don't think the sun will harm the cover.The only problem I've had is with chipmonks and squirrels gnawing holes in it. No rodents= no problem.

we have had no problem with the cover in mich. or az. but the smoker itself does not work, we have given brinkman smoker to kids for Christmas no problem we have had one in az. and in mich. and had to have a new one and it does not work, my husband thru away the receipt so we can not send it back, but cannot use it.

It is well made and fairly substantial material that should hold up to hot dry climates. It should do well I think.

it will last about 5 hours realistically. However in very hot weather your drink will still be at least cool.

It offers a 4 hour protection, but I would recommend to use a waterproof sunscreen if you plan to go to the beach.

I live in San Diego County and use the cover in the summertime. With our 70 to 80 degree air temps during the summer, the pool water gets pretty warm under the pool cover. We also have solar to warm up our pool but you can definitely feel the increased warmth directly under the cover. I would not recommend the cover for Arizona summers as I think you would be able to cook with the increased water temperature.

This fits my ducane 3400 perfectly. Our barbeque sits in the Denver sun 24/7, nd I pull this cover off once in a blue moon to barbeque [its a second home and not used too often] and lasted over 3 years in the piercing Denver sunlight, wind, rain, snow and ice. I used Windex to clean the dust off the top but that resulted in pre-mature deterioraton of the vinyl. Simple soap and wter to clean it would have been so much better, but I still got over 3 years out of it ans am now using my second one! So if the dimensions you offered are those for a Decane Affinity Models 310, 3200, or 3400 then this is the perfect fit for you! This fits my ducane 3400 perfectly.

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.

3-4 hours is what I would recommend. Also keeping it covered in plastic and warm. Sit in the sun or warm with a dryer or warm towels periodically. Speeds the process and helps promote richer color

I've only had mine a short time, so can't say for sure. But I live in Kuwait where the temps are currently 117+ and the cover is holding up very well so far.

It depends on the heat and humidity around you. I waited 8-12 hours to be safe, but some days it felt alright after only 3. But I also live in AZ.

I'm not completely sure as that is a good question. I would tell you exactly, however my wife is borrowing it on a camping trip. I believe it's somewhere between three and four hours. That would be my estimate.

I live in NY and my cover has held up well to all elements of weather. Not the same amount of sun you receive though.

Hello, Thank you for your interest. We ship from CA therefore it could take about 2-3 days for delivery to AZ. Hope this helps! Formosa Covers

Well I don't know if in Arizona the Sun is stronger than here in Puerto Rico but let me tell you it is quite Hot, I get to work at 1:00 pm and my Car is at the Sun every day with the Sunshade on until 6:30 pm in the evening for 3 weeks now, still in perfect shape, Did I Answer your Question? I hope so.

Amazon sells the cover for this grill. If you leave it in the hot Georgia sunit only last about two years. I am on my second one. I have my grill out year round, so you can understand. It also lets out for the added smoke box that is available.

I used this cover for two years as a garage replacement. During those winters, it got snowed on quite frequently; during the summers it was quite sunny. At the end of that time, the cover was definitely starting to show some (a few rips on the bottom silver part), but I would expect it could have been useful for at least another 2-3 years.

It can take about 2-3 hours in full sunlight. Shouldn't be more then 2 but give it some leeway

It needs 2-3 hours of solid sun per day. Without that it will not work. With that, quite good actually. If you plan to put in mostly shady area, it will not work. Remember, it's solar powered, you can't cheat.
