Fire Sense 61311 Vinyl Cover Full Length Outdoor For Patio Heater Pro Series With Reflectors Heavy Duty 10 Gauge Felt Lined Waterproof Weather Resistant With Zipper 34"-39" Round Reflectors

Got this to fit over an AZ natural gas patio heater. AZ Patio Heaters NG-SS Natural Gas Stainless Steel Patio Heater Very nicely made. Slightly confusing to mount at first, but only because it fits like a glove. Has a zipper that extends from the center of the top down to the heater's column. Comes with a two-part stiffening rod that fits into a sewn pocket along the zipper so it's easier to position over the head. This rod is held together with a threaded brass furrel. Unfortunately, the furrel was not completely threaded so I could not assemble the rod. Fortunately, I had a 5mm x .8mm pitch metric tap to chase the threads. After that little modification, the rod could be properly assembled. The black vinyl material is sturdy and has a flocked inner surface to protect from scratching the heater's metal. Should last a long time in the elements. I like the cover because it's compact and easy to mount and as my particular heater has no propane tank, has no need to protect its lower structure. It protects the most vulnerable parts of the heater but is easy to store when not needed. The heater's reflector is 32" in diameter and this cover fits perfectly although, as others have noticed, the three wingnuts that hold the reflector onto the head could wear through eventually. It's not really likely as the cover doesn't really move once it's installed. More likely is the frustration during mounting when the cover hangs on the wingnuts as you try to slip it on. Replacing the wingnuts with round-top brass or stainless acorn nuts would ease installation. And it's a lot easier to mount if you get a short ladder out so you can get up there and see what you're doing. The price is very reasonable.

We have old school propane patio heater. Cast iron base and 37” top , we just weather protected ours with this cover. The coming winter weather will not damage it. Very nice full length zipper with a pull string, makes for zero assembly required. Unzip, slide the metal rod into the zippers sleeve and with both hands slid cover over the top of heater and used pull string to close clear down to base. Perfect fit and function! When this weeks rains fall I will edit this review if there’s issues… I highly recommend this cover

Purchased (for $9.98) along with the Fire Sense Hammer Tone Bronze Commercial Patio Heater (as a "lightning deal" for $123.85) ... fits with extra room to spare. Covered the patio heater using the head cover with and without the two-piece metal rod inserted along zipper - easier to throw over heater and secure with rod(s) in place. Looks good - quality is not bad - on/off performs without much problem (although you have to open the zipper fully to easily put it on and sometimes the string attached to the zipper [used to help zip/unzip the cover once in place] stays up on top of heater head when placing the cover on requiring me to get up on a chair or something to retrive the string and zip up the cover). I like how it looks once installed. Appears to protect the head from elements and debris/bugs as advertised. I like the velcro strap (1" x 4") near bottom of zipper and once neatly secured, I take strings attached to zipper and wrap once around patio heater pole and tie - this helps to firmly secure the cover to the heater itself. I can see how wing nuts on top of heater head securing the reflector pan might damage the cover over time - cover is not heavy duty material but soft thin vinyl with thin white felt-like backing on inside. All in all - for purchase price of $9.98 - GET THIS item !

This came really quickly which was great and had very good instructions and a warranty. I am assuming that it will be sturdy and durable, although the material is lighter than I expected. But the material is easy to maintain so that's a plus. We will see in another year how it has held up. The price was very reasonable and it fits the mushroom heater beautifully.

After the head on our patio heater rusted we ha to replace it. I was glad to find this cover to help protect the new one from the elements. It's a bit of a challenge to put on since the heater is tall, but that is no fault of this product. It zips securely and has a soft interior so it won't scratch up the metal on the cover. Hopefully it holds up well to the weather over time. I will try to remember to post an update. Hoping it will last a few years.

Feels like a really nice cover. My main problem is year round humidity in nw Florida. Every thing I have that's not inside in a controlled environment is going to rust. Everything! I'm hoping with the fabric on the inside it will help absorb the moisture. We'll see.

So I'm in the home improvement store, see the patio heater for super cheap, and of course, "yes, I immediately need that." Fast forward, got the propane tank, fired it up, works lovely, and then I say "wait a minute, what about when it rains/snows?" Clearly, I need a cover. Saw this cover, read the reviews, and was a little worried about the whole "sail" effect of it knocking over in the wind. Here's an idea; fill your base with sand, as your heater's instructions tell you to. This cover has been on my heater all winter, through one of the worst winters on record, in some of the windiest conditions you can imagine, and it stood tall through it all. Cover is perfectly intact, heater never moved, let alone fell over, and it still works lovely to this day, thanks in whole to the cover. As for the cover itself, the material is well suited, clearly water/rain/snow proof, and does a great job protecting the heater. Inside the cover is a cloth-like material, so it won't scratch the heater. It's certainly a bit of a pain to put on and take off. You need either a second set of hands or a step ladder to properly put it on and take it off without damaging your heater, but in time you kind of get the hang of it. Good luck!

The cover is sturdy and fits the tall heater I purchased well. However, the instructions that come with the cover might need improvement. The cover comes with 3 rod pieces that the buyer can assemble together. The assembled rod goes in a sleeve right next to the zipper, to keep the cover upright, I assume. I did not find anywhere on the package an indication for the number of the rod pieces, and there was a lot of space left in the sleeve after I inserted the 3 pieces in; space that could have been filled with one more piece. So I assumed there was a piece missing and contacted the seller who, after checking with the manufacturer, said that only 3 pieces are shipped. I would suggest indicating that there are 3 pieces in the package material, and perhaps also, if by design, recommend that the buyer inserts the assembled rod so that its one end reaches the top part of the sleeve, in order for the cover to be upright at the top and hang looser at the bottom, rather than awkwardly at the middle or top of the heater.
