had this cover since December . we bought this to protect from weather. firepit was never used until we took all covers off furniture. the plastic of this cover was melted to top of firepit cover which was painted steel. we had a warm and sunny two weeks back in May but give me a break, kind of ridiculous. it needs to be lined with some sort of cotton interior because apparently this plastic will melt with just uv rays. may be fine in colder climates but wouldn't recommend where it gets warm outside
