Product Information
Full details
The Gardeco Chimenea Cover (Extra Large) is an essential accessory for owners of large, traditional-style chimeneas looking to preserve their investment against harsh outdoor elements. By providing a weather-resistant barrier, it prevents clay chimeneas from cracking due to frost and protects metal models from premature rusting. While it is highly effective at repelling rain and UV damage, it is important to ensure the chimenea is completely cool before application to prevent heat-related damage to the fabric.

FAQs
Can I put the cover on while the chimenea is still warm?
No, you must wait until the chimenea is completely cool to the touch to prevent melting or damaging the cover material.
Will this cover fit a square-based chimenea?
This cover is designed for traditional rounded chimenea shapes and may not provide a secure fit for square or irregular designs.
How do I clean the cover?
Simply wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry.
Does this cover provide protection against rust?
Yes, by keeping moisture away from the surface of cast iron and steel chimeneas, it effectively prevents rust.
Is the cover waterproof?
Yes, the cover is designed to be weather-resistant, effectively repelling rain and moisture.
What is the maximum height it can cover?
The cover is designed to fit models up to 147cm in total height.
Troubleshooting
Cover keeps blowing off in high winds
Ensure the tie-string is pulled tight and knotted securely through the brass eyelets.
Visible water pooling on top of the cover
Check that the cover is centered correctly; if the chimenea is slightly shorter than 147cm, tuck excess material to prevent sagging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Ensure the chimenea has cooled completely for at least 6-12 hours after its last use.
- Drape the cover over the top of the chimenea, allowing it to fall naturally toward the base.
- Align the base of the cover to ensure even distribution around the 64cm diameter.
