Barbecues have become a staple part of the British summer and an essential item in enjoying our outdoor spaces, whether we are at home or on holiday.
Cooking with a barbecue provides a sense of adventure and helps to entertain the kids, while eating outdoors is a great way to enjoy family get-togethers.
How does winter affect a barbecue?
Barbecues are usually made of metal and larger gas barbecues will have connections for the gas bottles and controls. Exposure to wet and windy weather, even during the summer, can start to degrade the structure of the barbecue and lead to it rusting.
How to protect your barbecue during the winter
At Bags & Covers Direct we can supply a range of products to help keep your barbecue protected in winter and ready to use again when the weather improves. Our storage bags are made from heavy duty fabric and are designed for smaller portable barbecues. They have strong carry handles which make the barbecue easy to transport on holiday and to pack away during the winter.
If you have a larger barbecue which is permanently stored outside, a polyester fabric waterproof cover is a good idea. We can supply barbecue covers in all shapes and sizes and if you can’t find a standard size to suit your barbecue, send us some accurate dimensions and we can quote you for a made to measure cover. This will help to protect your barbecue from the harsh winter weather and means when the barbecue urge hits you next year, you will be ready to spark the fire and hear that sizzle on the grill once again.
