Our covers usually have a little bit of give in them — roughly about 5% overall. If your heater size matches our cover size, the cover should stretch over the heater comfortably. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us. Can I use the patio heater cover while the heater is running? No — please do not use the cover while the heater is running as it will melt the material and create a fire hazard. We also recommend following these safety steps: Ensure the cover is not used while the gas is turned on. Ensure the heater has been completely turned off and cooled down before putting the cover on. Follow all safety instructions included with your heater and cover. How do I secure the patio heater cover?

Please do not use any chemicals or put the cover in a washing machine. Does it have ventilation? The covers do not have ventilation, as it is not possible to make a cover both waterproof and breathable. Condensation and moisture naturally occur where airflow is limited. To reduce moisture build‑up: Remove the cover periodically to allow air to circulate. Check with your heater manufacturer regarding condensation effects.
