Frequently asked questions

How do I handle taps, grills or parts that stick out?

Measure to the outermost point of any fixed feature, such as a tap spout, grill lid or handle, so the finished cover clears it. Note anything removable in your order.

Should I measure with the grill lid open or closed?

Measure with the lid closed, to the highest fixed point, unless you specifically want the cover to fit over the lid raised.

Do you cover both built-in and freestanding outdoor kitchens?

Yes. The cover is cut to the dimensions you supply, so it fits built-in islands and freestanding units alike.
