Key Features

• Tailored fit: Measures 29'L x 65'W x 48'H (86'W when extended) to match the 5050 Duo 3-burner and Double Play 5650 models so it stays close to the grill body.
• Heavy duty material: Constructed from 600D Oxford fabric with a water resistant PVC coating to repel heavy rain and snow and to resist tears during regular use.

• UV protection: An upgraded anti-UV coating reduces fading and sun damage so the cover remains effective year-round.

Who It's For

The 8080 Grill Cover is best for owners of Char-Griller Duo 5050 and Double Play 5650 grills who want a durable, weatherproof cover that fits these specific models.
