BBQ cover fitted and secured properly so it actually stays on in Devon wind. Simple job, but saves your BBQ from the weather.
### Protect Your Investment
**Devon weather destroys BBQs**. Rain, wind, frost - leave a BBQ uncovered and it'll be rusty scrap metal within a couple of years, even expensive ones.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** A decent cover adds years to your BBQ's life. Literally pays for itself in one season.

### Why This Is Worth Getting Right
A cover that **doesn't fit properly or isn't secured** just blows off in the first storm and ends up wrapped around next door's fence.
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Cover sized correctly for BBQ | Too small or miles too big | | All straps/ties properly secured | Dangling loose, blows off in wind | | Vents positioned for airflow | Cover traps moisture underneath | | Tucked in neatly, won't snag | Flapping, tearing on sharp edges |
---
### What You Get
**🔧 Quick Service**
- Cover fitted without snagging on BBQ parts - All straps, buckles, and ties secured - Positioned for vents and drainage - Quick check it's the right size
**📦 Takes About 15 Minutes**
Genuinely a quick job - unless the cover's fighting back or your BBQ's an awkward shape.

### Pricing
This is a **£60 minimum visit** job - it only takes 15 minutes, but I still have to drive there, park, etc.
**Makes sense if:** - I'm already doing other garden help jobs for you - You've got mobility issues and can't manage it yourself - You're setting up a brand new BBQ and want everything done properly
**Probably not worth it if:** - This is literally all you need doing - You're physically capable of doing it yourself
---
### Perfect For...
✅ **Part of BBQ assembly** - get the whole thing done at once
✅ **Elderly customers** - where reaching and bending is difficult
✅ **End of season setup** - putting garden to bed for winter
✅ **New BBQ owners** - want everything done right from the start

What to Expect
### Step 1: Check The Cover Make sure it's the right size and type for your BBQ. If you've bought the wrong one, I'll tell you before we try to fit it. ### Step 2: Fit Carefully Put the cover on without snagging it on sharp edges, handles, or thermometer probes. Position any vents appropriately. ### Step 3: Secure Properly Tighten all straps, tie all ties, fasten all buckles. Check it's not going to blow off in the first bit of wind.

Good to Know
> ❄️ **Winter storage:** If you're putting the BBQ away completely for winter, disconnect and remove the gas bottle. Store the bottle upright outside - never inside sheds or garages. **Cover maintenance:** Wash it once a year - hose down, scrub with soapy water, let it dry completely before storing. Torn covers can sometimes be patched with tent repair tape. **Alternatives:** BBQs can be stored in sheds/garages over winter (without gas bottles). Some people prefer this to outdoor covering, especially for expensive models. **Wind protection:** If your garden's really exposed, consider positioning the BBQ in a more sheltered spot, or even facing it into a corner. Best cover in the world won't stay on in a gale.
Frequently Asked Questions about BBQ cover fitting in Sidmouth
Why would I pay someone to fit a cover?
Honestly? You probably wouldn't, unless you're physically unable to do it yourself or it's part of a bigger garden help job. I'm including it as a service because some elderly customers appreciate the help, and sometimes covers are awkward on large BBQs.
Can you supply the cover as well?
I can pick one up if you tell me the BBQ make/model, or you can buy your own. Make sure it's the right size - too small won't fit, too large blows off in the wind.
How often should I take the cover off?
In winter when you're not using the BBQ, keep it covered. In summer when you're using it regularly, take it off between uses to let any moisture evaporate. Leaving a cover on a damp BBQ in warm weather = mildew city.
Will a cover completely protect my BBQ?
It massively helps but isn't magic - cheap covers tear in a couple of seasons, and even good ones let moisture in eventually. Still worth having, just don't expect your £200 BBQ to last 20 years because you covered it.
What about custom covers?
You can get tailored covers for specific BBQ models - they fit better and last longer than universal ones. Worth it for expensive BBQs, probably overkill for budget models.
