Grill Cover Size Guide: How to Measure Your BBQ Perfectly
TL;DR: Measure grill length, width, and height with lid closed; add 1-2 inches of clearance; match to cover size or order custom. Wrong fit = pooling water + premature wear. OEM custom sizing since 2009.
Why Size Matters
A cover that's too small won't protect the grill. One that's too large pools water on top — which is the #1 cause of premature cover failure (and rusted grills). Perfect fit = water sheds off, cover lasts 3-5 years.
How to Measure Your Grill (3 Steps)
Step 1: Measure Length (with side tables? Decide first)
- Width (L): left to right at the widest point
- If side tables fold: measure with them folded or note "with tables"
Step 2: Measure Depth (D)
- Front to back at the deepest point
Step 3: Measure Height (H)
- From bottom of grill (not cart wheels) to top of closed lid
- Include chimney/top accessories
⚠️ Always measure with the lid closed — the tallest configuration.
Universal Size Chart
| Cover Size | Grill Length | Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Small (2-burner) | Up to 33" | Portable grills, small gas grills |
| Medium (3-burner) | 33-46" | Standard 3-burner grills |
| Large (4-burner) | 46-52" | 4-burner grills, small smokers |
| X-Large (5-6 burner) | 52-58" | Large gas grills |
| XX-Large (Smoker/Island) | 58"+, custom | Smokers, grill islands |
Pro tip: If your measurement is between sizes, size up by 1-2 inches — slight extra room is better than a tight fit that stresses seams.

FAQ
Q: Should I include side tables in the measurement? A: If tables fold down, measure without them and note it. If fixed, include them — the cover must fit over the widest point.
Q: What if my grill has a chimney or rotisserie? A: Measure with the chimney installed (or rotisserie motor on). Add 2 inches of height clearance for accessories.
Q: How tight should a cover fit? A: Snug but not stretched. About 1-2 inches of clearance on length/depth, enough height to fully cover the lid. A too-tight cover stresses seams and tears early.
Q: Can you make a custom cover for my specific grill? A: Yes. Send your measurements (L×D×H) — we custom-cut covers for grills, smokers, islands, and pizza ovens. Custom branding available.
Q: What's the MOQ for custom grill covers? A: Flexible for OEM/ODM. Individual custom orders and bulk wholesale both supported.
