Features & benefits of the BBQ cover Ligorio, Ibrido, Maggiore

Tailor-designed for three popular Boretti models

This barbecue cover has been specifically designed for the Boretti Ligorio, Ibrido and Maggiore models, ensuring you have a perfect fit. The cover fits seamlessly to the contours of these barbecues, including side tables and other protruding parts. Thanks to the tailor-made shape, there is no room for water to pool and your entire barbecue, including the valuable cast iron grates, is optimally protected against all weather conditions.

Weather-resistant and UV-protective material

The high-quality material of this cover offers excellent protection against Dutch weather conditions, from driving rain to bright summer sun. The UV-resistant coating prevents the cover from fading or becoming brittle due to prolonged sun exposure. At the same time, the material is water-repellent and breathable, so any moisture under the cover can evaporate and no condensation occurs that could cause rust on your barbecue or the cast iron grates.

Ventilation openings for optimal airflow

An important feature of this Boretti cover are the strategically placed ventilation openings. These ensure constant airflow under the cover, preventing condensation from forming. This is essential for maintaining your barbecue, especially sensitive components such as burners, ignition mechanisms and of course the cast iron grates that have made Boretti so famous. Good ventilation means less moisture and therefore less chance of rust and mould formation.

Practical fastening systems and durable finish

The cover is equipped with drawstrings, click closures or velcro at the bottom, with which you can secure the cover firmly around your barbecue. This prevents the cover from coming loose or blowing away in gusts of wind. The durable stitching and double-reinforced corners ensure that the cover continues to provide its protective function even after years of intensive use. The high-quality finish perfectly matches the quality you expect from Boretti.

Applications

Protection during the grilling season

Even when you regularly use your Boretti barbecue during the grilling season, this cover provides valuable protection between grilling sessions. After your barbecue has cooled, you simply place the cover over it to protect your investment against unexpected showers, morning dew and daily dust. This way your cast iron grates and other components remain in top condition and you are always ready to start grilling within a few minutes.

Overwintering and long-term storage

During the winter months or periods when you are not using the barbecue, this cover is essential for long-term protection. The weather-resistant cover keeps out snow, sleet and driving rain, whilst the ventilation ensures that no moisture is trapped. This is crucial for maintaining all metal components, from the exterior to the burners and the iconic cast iron grates that Boretti, as seen on The Great Garden Renovation, is so proud of.

Protection against soiling and animal damage

In addition to weather conditions, this cover also protects your barbecue against dirt, leaves, bird droppings and other forms of contamination. Birds and small animals can cause damage to hoses, electrical wiring or ignition mechanisms, but with this cover you prevent such problems. Your Boretti remains clean and ready to use, so you won't need to scrub and clean it before you can start grilling.

Assembly & use

Fitting this BBQ cover is a matter of seconds and requires no special skills. However, make sure your Boretti Ligorio, Ibrido or Maggiore has completely cooled after use before you put the cover on – this is crucial to prevent damage to the material. Turn off the gas system and ensure all knobs are in the off position. Then spread the cover over the barbecue and pull it over all protruding parts such as side tables and handles.

For optimal protection, secure the cover using the fastening systems on the underside. Tighten the drawstrings or close the click closures so the cover sits firmly around the barbecue without being too tight. Check that the ventilation openings are clear and not blocked. For long-term storage, it is advisable to first lightly grease the cast iron grates with a thin layer of oil, as you would after cleaning, and then apply the cover for complete protection.

Maintaining the cover itself is straightforward: regularly wipe away dirt and leaves and clean the cover if necessary with lukewarm water and a soft brush. Do not use harsh cleaning agents that could damage the water-repellent coating. If the cover has become wet, allow it to dry thoroughly before storing it or putting it back on. With proper use and maintenance, this cover will last for years and ensure that your Boretti barbecue looks like new every season.
