How does the color stand up to the sun? My grill gets beat on by the sun!

Like all fabric with a lot of sunlight, it will fade to a grayish charcoal color. It will not effect performance.

I had the cover for two years and it faded a little bit as it is in direct sunlight. The grill is well protected and still looks like new. My first cover lasted 8 years and replaced it because it was ripping at seams.

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

None at all I'm very pleased with this grill. I don't keep it outside, after I grill I always wheel it back into the garage. It's very sturdy and love the option of propane and coal. Hope this helps.

My son got the copper color weber grill 5 years ago. He keeps it outside but it's under a overhang roof in New York all winter. The color is still like the day he purchased it. The key to any grill is to protect it. Buy a cover and when not in use cover it. Also when you want to clean the inside from fat droppings/build-up, Take aluminum foil and place it over the entire grilling area and then turn on tall the burners. When the smoke stops, turn it off, let it cool and it's like new again inside.

My grill has cover over the flames. And it is about 5 in above the flames no issue...

Yes. I've had mine outside, with some sun exposure, and it holds up just fine.

Absolutely! I've had mine outside exposed to the AZ sun for the last three years (11/12) and it still looks great.I just hose off the dust and let air dry.However, I did spray paint it with Rustoleum when it arrived to a brown to match my patio furniture.

I have not had any problems. It storms here a lot. If you are looking to buy a good grill for a good price, I promise you this is the one.

A note...the sun damaged the top plastic cover in just one year :( I'm trying to get it replaced so I can use it again this spring, but the producer hasn't called back. currently it wouldn't hold any heat, it would escape out the top :( just so you know! It worked beautifully the first year, but can't hold up to being left out in the summer sun.

Ours has been primarily outdoors as well and it seems to be holding up just fine. More than likely, though, you will end up needing to replace the rubber top more frequently if it gets a lot on direct sunlight.

I had the opposite problem where the cover shrinked from weathering and didn't fit the grill. I had to buy a new cover. If you leave it out in the sun it will eventually shrink; however, you need to ensure that you buy the correct size cover in the first place. Check out the specifications for your grill and then match with the cover specifications.

I live in the Northeast and it has held up well. The sun in Arizona is much stronger so I can't say if you will have the same experience. This item is sturdy and well constructed but it is possible the color may fade.

Unfortunately it will fade. I loved the colors and just put it my my grill this season and it has already faded from the NJ sun.

It holds up to heat well. But do not leave it outside in the rain as is is not waterproof. I bring mine inside after every grill session and it works wonderfully every time.

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.

We have had it for a few months and it is a very nice heavy duty cover. I would assume if it will be in the direct sun every day it might fade some.

Cover fits very well and seems to be sturdy. I've had it for about 6 months and the only thing wrong is that it faded from the sun.
