Will this cover keep the grill dry during rain? Is it fully water proof against rain?Thanks!

The cover absolutely is fully water proof. Our BBQ was on the deck, covered, all winter in the Denver area. We had snow, hail, rain, etc. and it was dry as a bone. It has two straps to hold it down in the wind but it fits so well we didn't really have to use them.

I'm not sure I would call it completely water proof, but it does keep the grill dry. If there are windy rain conditions you would have to be sure to secure the ample straps and drawstrings at the base to prevent water from seeping upward. Personally I am satisfied with the water resistance of the cover. It is better than the manufacturers cover in my opinion.

Hm, ive used it in the rain. It doesnt keep the bike dry. But also doesnt get soaked. Its not ideal for rain. Hope that helps.(get a 2-4 Layer cover-trust me)

It does not keep rain out. You have to water proof it yourself with spray-on water proofer. It has two flaps. One for to keep bugs out and one for privacy.It is just not shown in this picture.

Will keep rain off. But if you drop it in the pool it will get really wet. Hope it helps.

I think what gets most people (and the negative reviews) is the vents in the cover. It does let in water, but considering these grills are bomb proof, I do not think that it hurts them if they get wet. If you go to Home Depot, these grills sit in the rain with no cover and they don't show any problems. Mostly the cover is to keep the debris off as well as keep it out of the sun over the years of ownership. The cover does "feel" like it is constructed well and the price seems justified. Based on Weber's history, I would trust their expertise and not a few negative reviews. I have had the grill and cover for a year and don't have a problem.

I'd say water resistant. I hunted out of it in a steady rain and maybe only a drop or two made it inside. There are tiny little pinholes around some of the seams. Not a major issue. I can't speak for a downpour, that may be a different story.

It is not completely watertight. I've had no problems in rainy weather, but the car wash can get past the seal. The contents are safe in the rain. It's a great cover. Thumbs up.

If the straps are around the grill the vent sits under the hood and should not allow water in. It may be a different story if the rain is coming horizontally at the grill.

Aloha Cheryl Thus far I have no problems, however I would think that IF you have moderte to high winds with the rain, that you might have a problem with 'crosswinds' carrying the rain onto your grill tables. I position my grill from north to south as the rain/wind mostly comes from the south.

This is a nice thick cover. Mine is only a couple of months old, but it made it through an extremely heavy downpour here in the San Francisco Bay Area, not to mention 60 mile an hour wind gusts. It did not blow off, but I should say, I have mine in its zipped shape on a Weber Spirit with the side tables down. The only way this cover could leak would be if it had a tear in it or if it eventually cracks with age. I am using it to protect my stainless grill sitting outside here in the San Francisco rainy season. So far, so good.

This product will keep out most rain. The seal around the screen protector is positive and does not allow water in. However, I have never allowed it to sit in the rain. I have just had it rained on as I went from one location to another and it did very well in protecting the iPad.

I've been in the rain with it and haven't had a problem. Make sure that the charger cover is in place as it detaches easily.

It is as waterproof as any covered grill is. If it is the electrical connections that you are asking about they are quite well covered and enclosed and the cord is sealed plastic like any cord these days. I don't worry about it, it does fine in any rain I am willing to stand out in. But,to use it in a downpour would be pretty silly.

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 find mine works fine. The grill shouldn't be too sensitive to a little water here and there. I purchased to protect against constant exposure to rain and sun.

It will keep you mostly dry ;-). I live in Texas so if we get caught in a rain storm in the summer, we will get just as wet from perspiration. The material is waterproof and the seams don't leak. Be sure to put the hood up. Bnowlin48

It's pretty sturdy.... but I don't know about rain.. generally any electronic will fry when wet.. the timer is pretty well covered and sealed... I would say it would probably be ok for outside as long as you put it somewhere it won't get too wet.
