Fire Sense 02054 Outdoor Vinyl Head Cover LPG Patio Heaters Heavy Duty 10 Gauge Felt Lined Waterproof Weather Resistant with 32" Reflectors - Black

After 3 years the zipper is hard to open or close and if you force it, it will break.

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.

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.

The covers are very easy to put onto the heater if one tilts the heater so the pole rests on the back of a patio chair---then all the work is done at waist or chest level. I would have given 5 stars if I could have figured out the instructions regarding the rod installation (I received two small rods that assemble into one larger rod and the instructions state that there should be two assembled rods although I couldn't locate where to place even the one rod.). With the nice, tight fit on my 32 inch reflector, I am not sure how important these rods are. More significantly, the velcro closure should be relocated so the bottom of the cover can be wrapped tightly around the heater pole (I have only about 1/2 inch of velcro connecting) leaving more room for the velcro mating.

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.

Very thin but I'll be using it under a back porch so it should last since it's out of the sun. Will keep the dust and dirt dobbers out in the off season.

Met my expectations, and offers protection when heater is not in use.

Ugly date ? fits right over his or her head with ease !!!

Good value for the money

Decent at this price point

Tricky to get on but work well.
