I just want to flag an issue with Covers-And-All and their customer service.
If you are not happy with your purchase, they will not let you return it unless (I suppose) they made an obvious mistake with the order.
So you better be sure that you will really like what you are getting. Because if for some reason you do not like it, tough luck: you will be stuck with it.
From where I stand, there is a difference between seeing things online and seeing and touching them in reality. And because of that, online retailers should accept returns, no questions asked. Apparently, that is not the policy of Covers-And-All.
Buyer beware.

Hey all,
Has anyone done a custom cover from Covers & All >> Specifically, a BJ3 size. The KJ-branded one is a total joke; the sun literally destroys these annually. I've had the same Weber-branded cover on my 8-year old Summit and still totally fine. But the KJ ones fade and the piping literally falls apart within a few months. So I am looking to do a custom cover from Covers & All as I have used them in the past for covers for my patio furniture. NOT looking to get a generic cover, so the dimensions is something they want so it fits well. If someone has already done this, it would help greatly so I don't have to reinvent the wheel here!
Thanks much!
We placed an order with Covers&All in December 2023. After numerous messages to the company with specific measurements as requested by Covers&All no patio cushion cover was received. We have requested, through the company’s customer service, a full refund of our initial investment of nearly $50. As of March 5, 2024, no refund has been made, even after multiple emails requesting the same. Personally, we will never use this company again.
It's getting annoying replacing all of my patio stuff covers. You know - made from plastic-backed nylon fabric used for covering your patio furniture, covering your grill, and also what patio umbrellas are made from. After a while it gets brittle and rips easily. I understand that these remain outside under the sun for most of the year, but isn't there something more durable.
I'll take 5-10 years to start.
I’m looking at seat covers and don’t want to spend $600 for Clazzios. These look pretty nice.
I know, I know, regular washing is better than a cover. Garaging is better than a cover. Dirt will get under it and get rubbed in by the wind, marring the paint.
But, I live next to a beach in a high-traffic area without a garage. The salty marine layer comes by almost every night, or the Santa Ana winds come in a few days each year, bringing the desert dust with them. As it dries, traffic debris gets kicked up, leaving a even a freshly detailed car looking like it's been neglected and left to the elements for months. Obvious oxidation is apparent only weeks after a clay bar and ceramic spray/sealant/whatever. Plast-X on the headlights seems to be effective for two weeks, at best. Oh, and tourists occasionally make contact with the sides as they walk or bike by. I have 4 cars to maintain, 2 of which are worth keeping clean, and it's just too much to keep up.
So, I'm thinking a cover is my only option, but shopping for them is sort of like shopping for a mattress in that there's a ton of marketing fluff out there. Prices seem to range anywhere between $15 for a glorfied tarp, up to about $700 for something that I'm not sure is worth more than $300. With that said, what's been your experience with covers? Is a $300 budget realistic?
I need a new cover for my hot tub, a bullfrog R7. Very standard size rounded corner square 88".
I've been looking into the names that usually come up here: thecoverguy, myspacover, spacovers.net, spa-mart, etc and they have been getting absolutely brutal reviews on places like google and BBB. Talking dozens of 1 star "this company is a scam" "i never got my cover" "my cover is completely different from what i ordered" type reviews. coverguy BBB in particular is just loaded with people who are waiting 4+ months and getting the run around.
However, whenever the question comes up these are the places are recommended.
Very hard to decipher what is going on.
Is there any online place that is actually just good? Willing to pay a little extra for no BS and a good product. I would simply like to exchange money for a cover in a predictable and non multi month timeline.
Local options aren't good. Very basic covers, lots of upcharging, basically scummy used car salesman tactics. Literally was getting rung out on a cover and the guy just started tacking on charges for features nearly doubling the sticker price lol. Had to just walk away. Even wanted to charge delivery when I was picking up because "it had to be delivered to them", yet it was right there in stock! Even the original price was very high however.
I have full sun all day long on my south facing deck and it chews through patio furniture covers they get weak and start ripping and tearing apart. I priced one out on coverstore.com... >$400USD for a large L shape sectional cover cause its so big.
Does anyone know how to tell what materials will hold up to the sun, so I can shop one on amazon for <$200??? UV resistance, Deniers thickness, materials? etc. etc. That won't wear out in a year and rip. Amazon full of reviews of ones that rip easily. Bless you all.
There’s a place called Covers and All that will make custom sized covers but I’m wondering if anyone else has recommendations.
We got an old one that was pretty dank so we’re replacing all the fabric we can. The new canvas will be ready this week! Much earlier than expected.
