Coverstore

Origin and philosophy

Coverstore is the American brand specialising in tailored covers for garden furniture, grills, kamados, outdoor TVs, fire pits and almost anything that lives outside the house and needs protection from rain, sun and salt. It is a family-owned business founded in 2005 in the United States, with a clear philosophy: instead of stocking a handful of generic sizes and forcing the user to improvise, offer four tiers of fabric quality and the option of a fully custom-fit cover from dimensions you submit on the website.

Over fifteen years they have become a reference in the English-speaking outdoor segment — thousands of TrustPilot reviews and a Net Promoter Score solidly above 60 — and they have sustained an unusual model for this category: warranties of up to ten years on the fabric itself, not on the stitching or the hardware.

What sets Coverstore apart

The range is built around four fabric tiers: Classic (budget polyester), Elite (reinforced polyester), Ultima Ripstop (600-denier polyester with ripstop weave, the best-seller) and Prestige (the premium version with marine-grade treatment). The Ultima level is what put them on the map: 600 denier means a high thread density, ripstop is a weaving pattern that stops small tears before they become large ones — the same logic used in military parachutes, scaled to outdoor furniture.

What separates Coverstore from a hypermarket generic cover is three details: sewn reinforcements at the corners (where cheap covers always rip first), tie-down straps with adjustable buckles so the cover does not fly off in strong wind, and on the premium models grommets at the bottom to drain water and avoid sagging pools. The warranty covers wear from use, not accidents — but in practice their post-sale team replaces units without much ceremony inside the first five years.

Our experience with the brand

We have used an Ultima Ripstop on our kamado in Torrevieja through two full seasons, with the usual Mediterranean coast cocktail: vertical July sun, salty Levante wind, October storms with occasional hail. The cover stays flexible, has not cracked, and the front zipper still runs without effort. The biggest catch for Spain is logistics: Coverstore ships from the US, lead times run two to three weeks, and orders above a certain value can attract import duties. A faster and sometimes cheaper alternative is the equivalent covers from Big Green Egg or Kamado Joe, distributed in Europe through their dealer networks.

Who it is for

We recommend Coverstore for the user with an unusual or non-standard outdoor item — an oval fire pit, a custom teak sofa set, a kamado built into a masonry island — for which generic covers do not fit. For a standard round kamado (BGE Large, Classic III), the official cover from the kamado brand itself is easier to buy and the best fit. Coverstore shines in the "custom" lane.
