Features & benefits of the Fratello, Addizio cover

Weather-resistant polyester for optimal protection

The high-quality polyester material of this BBQ cover is specially chosen to protect your barbecue against all weather conditions. Whether it's heavy rain showers, bright summer sun or winter frost, the cover keeps out moisture, UV radiation and temperature fluctuations. The dense weave prevents dust, leaves and dirt from accumulating on your barbecue, keeping your cast iron grates and other components free from corrosion and discolouration. The polyester composition is also resistant to mould formation, which is essential during damp periods.

Perfect fit for Fratello and Addizio models

With its specific dimensions of 80 x 55 x 110 cm, this cover fits exactly on the Boretti Fratello and Addizio barbecues. A well-fitting cover is crucial: too loose and wind can blow underneath, too tight and you'll have difficulty putting it on. This cover offers the perfect balance and completely encloses your barbecue without straining. This keeps the underside well protected too, which is especially important for the stand and wheels that often show signs of wear first. The height of 110 cm ensures that barbecues with a lid or tall handles are completely covered.

Stylish anthracite colour with Italian design

Boretti is known for combining Dutch quality with Italian design principles, and this cover is no exception. The anthracite colour is deliberately chosen: it's a neutral, elegant shade that complements modern garden designs beautifully and doesn't easily show dirt. Unlike black covers which can fade in the sun or light covers which quickly discolour, anthracite retains its stylish appearance. The cover thus functions as a design element in your garden, just as the barbecue itself is a focal point during the outdoor season.

Durable investment with 2 years' warranty

With a warranty period of 2 years, Boretti emphasises its confidence in the quality of this barbecue cover. This warranty covers manufacturing faults and material defects, demonstrating that you're investing in a product built to last. Think of the cover as insurance for your barbecue: the relatively small investment saves you considerable costs on maintenance and replacement of parts in the long run. In particular, the cast iron grates, a hallmark of Boretti, benefit greatly from this protection and maintain their excellent grilling performance season after season.

Applications

Protection during the winter season

When temperatures drop and the barbecue is used less frequently, this is when a quality cover becomes essential. Place the BBQ cover Fratello, Addizio over your barbecue as soon as it has cooled completely after your last use of the season. The cover protects against frost, snow and sleet that could otherwise penetrate to the cast iron grates and cause them to rust. You also prevent rainwater from accumulating in the barbecue, which can damage electronics in gas models or cause corrosion to the stand.

Daily protection during the grilling season

Even during active use in spring and summer, your Boretti barbecue deserves protection between grilling sessions. After each use, once the barbecue has cooled and been cleaned, simply place the cover over it. This keeps your barbecue clean and ready for next time, without you first having to remove leaves, pollen or bird droppings. In addition, the cast iron grates stay dry, which is crucial for maintaining their patina and grilling qualities. The cover also prevents insects or small animals from finding their way into your barbecue.

Protection against UV radiation and discolouration

Many barbecue owners underestimate the damage that UV radiation can cause to painted surfaces, plastic parts and even metal components. Boretti's polyester cover filters harmful sun rays and prevents colours from fading or materials becoming brittle. This is particularly important for the exterior of your barbecue and any plastic handles or knobs. By consistently covering your barbecue with this cover, your Boretti appliance retains its showroom appearance and performance, just as you saw it in programmes like The Great Garden Makeover.

Assembly & use

Using the BBQ cover Fratello, Addizio is surprisingly simple and requires no special skills or tools. Always make sure your barbecue is completely cool before placing the cover on it – this is crucial to prevent damage to the material. Cast iron grates retain heat longer than you might think, so give your barbecue at least an hour to cool down after use. Remove any stubborn dirt from the outside of your barbecue before placing the cover on it, this prevents dirt from becoming stuck between the cover and barbecue.

To put on the cover, place it over the barbecue from above and then pull it down all around until all parts are covered. Check that the cover fits evenly and isn't strained anywhere or too loose in other places. In windy conditions, it's advisable to secure the cover, although the fit already provides good stability. Some users place an extra weight at the bottom or use elastic cords for extra security during stormy weather.

Little maintenance of the cover itself is needed. Clean the cover a few times per season by removing it and brushing it down or rinsing it with a garden hose. Let the cover dry completely before putting it back on. For stubborn stains, a mild soapy solution with lukewarm water and a soft brush can be used. Store the cover in a dry place when your barbecue is in regular use, this extends the lifespan of the polyester. With these simple maintenance steps, your Boretti BBQ cover will continue to perform its protective function for years to come.
