How long does the cover last outdoor in the sun before rotting?

It would depend on how much you use it. I've had these things for a few years with weekly use before it falls apart.

Sorry, I don't know. We keep ours inside on a sun porch. Since the padding is not that thick I would say a good sunny day should easily dry it in about 1-2 hours.

I have left mine outside under the hot LA sun for 6 months. Still looks the same to me.

It is made out of a weather resistant wood so you don't have to worry about it rotting as much as weathering. If you don't want it to weather it will need to be scrubbed/sanded and re-treated each season. Just like the bright work on a sailboat!

I haven't noticed any wear from sun. It has held up very well. It was in the middle of a wide open yard and had no shade at all. It is very well made and solid.

I've had mine over a year outside , it holds fine, faded alittle with sun and metal parts rusted but still protect burners.

I do not keep mine outside all year round. I only put it on the table for a meal and then take it off. I think if the UV light got on it the lifespan of the cover would be limited. Also, I had to cut the hole in the center for the umbrella. This has worked out OK for the last two years.

Robert, I have been using these for over 8 years now and the are excellent. My car stays outside in the FL sun and they last any where from 6-10 months.

I have had it for a year now (brown), so far the BBQ hasn't faded - but when it's not in not use, I have a cover and it's protected from the elements...

I've had mine for 2.5 summers and the top of the cover is falling apart on the half I use most of the summer. The other half that only gets used in the spring and fall is still in good shape. I'm in northern California.

Im not sure how long it would last against the sun. Its heavy plastic with legs that could rust. So for the price it would hold up for a while, but I can't say forever.

It should last atleast 6 mos in summer sun. It frays with wind blowing. Amazon provides excellent warranty support

I use it outside but cover with a wood cabinet ( stained ). I think it is ok for this under the rain but I am afraid it expose to the Sun ( UV ) too much and make the plastic crack.

In sunny south Florida the covers protect the furniture, for about a year. The covers will dry out, become stiff and tear.

as long as it remains dry and I=out of the sun it should be good for a year or so

We have used ours for over one year and there has been no sign of rotting. The garden weathers to a nice gray color.

YES!I have had two hanging outside for about a year and no noted deterioration. Very pleased with construction, ease of hanging and durability. Both hang in sun to shield about 1/2 day.
