To protect it from the Harsh Winter
I used a heavy thick strong plastic that I salvaged from
the covering of a new mattress when it was delivered from the store.
(I am recycling)
This strong plastic is also available at Hardware Store

I started by measuring the BBQ across(front to back) and got 2ft.
Next I started at an end and measured the distance from the floor up and
over the top; down the other side and got 12 ft
.(I added approx. 4" on each side)
over the top; down the other side and got 12 ft
.(I added approx. 4" on each side)
2 ft. wide and 12ft.. long |
I cut 2 strips 6ft long and sewed them together to make the 12ft. length |
The top piece is cut |
I left about 4" longer at the bottom on each side |
Step Two
Measured DOWN THE FRONT of the BBQ and ACROSS THE FRONT
and I got 5ft. across and 3ft. down.
and I got 5ft. across and 3ft. down.
Cut 2 pieces 5ft by 3 1/2 ft. One for the Front and one for the Back.
I cut the top corners round to make it easier to sew.
I used a plate as a guide.
I used a plate to circle the corner |
Cut 2 top corners round on the top of the back and front piece |
Start Sewing
I used an ordinary sewing machine.
I marked the CENTER of each piece with a felt marker,
(the long piece for across the top and the CENTER top of the pieces of the FRONT and BACK)
Line up each piece together and started sewing. from the mark in the center.
I stitched 1/2 inch seam then doubled the seam over and top -stitched to strength it.
It does get bulky and hard to handle at times.
(Top-stitching is optional)
all snug for the winter |
If your BBQ is out in the wind,
your could secure the plastic with bungee cords.
or sew Valcro around each leg.
