Every fire pit needs a fire pit cover if it is last long. However finding a fire pit cover that is durable and resistant to weather elements can be a very difficult task. Like any other product, it’s always best to first do your research before buying a fire pit cover. By research of course I mean go through reviews to see what other customers have to say about the said cover so you know what to expect. It’s also always better to go for the most popular covers because really something popular implies there must be something good with the cover though most probably it will not be perfect.
So this article has somewhat simplified the work for you because it lists 5 great fire pit covers available to purchase online with the major pros and cons of the said covers.

Cons:
- Is it not entirely waterproof even though the manufactures say it is. Also, after a few months of being exposed to moisture, it will start to appear getting moldy on the outside.
Point to note
The pictures from the description may be little misleading because fire pit cover is relatively small will therefore not cover any fire pit over 35 inches wide all the way to the to the fire pit legs as shown. So for any fire pit 35 inches and above expect the cover to just fit the diameter and the rest of the way down it will come up short.
