What This Is

A custom chiminea cover is a waterproof cover cut and sewn to follow your chiminea from the feet up, belly and chimney included.

Seven measurements give it that shape. Three fix the overall size: how wide, how deep and how tall. The other four place the chimney. They give the height it starts at, how tall it is, how wide it is across the top, and how far round the belly is at its fullest. So the cover pulls in where your chimney narrows and stays full where the belly bulges.

Its job starts after the last embers die and the chiminea has cooled right down, and lasts until the next fire.

Why Doesn’t a One-Size Chiminea Cover Fit?

Because a one-size chiminea cover is a tapered tube, and a chiminea is not.

Ready-made covers are listed by three numbers: height, top width and bottom width. A typical large one on Amazon is 122cm tall, 21cm across the top and 61cm across the bottom.

A chiminea bulges at the belly, pinches in where the chimney begins, then spreads out again at the legs. A straight taper can follow only one of those. Buy it to clear the legs and it hangs slack around the chimney. Buy it to hug the chimney and it won’t pull down past the belly.

The point where the belly ends and the chimney begins also moves from model to model. A squat clay chiminea and a tall steel one can stand the same height and share nothing else.

The cover in this buyer’s photo is that 122cm one. Its opening fitted round the chiminea, but the cover narrows above that and wouldn’t slide down over the body. Its hem ends above the feet, and the buyer gave it two stars and didn’t expect it to last long.

What Does a Chiminea Cover Protect Against?

Between fires, an uncovered chiminea takes rain down its chimney and in through its mouth, and what that water does depends on what the chiminea is made of.

Rain Into the Bowl

An uncovered chimney is an open pipe aimed at the sky. Rain falls straight through it to the bowl, and more runs in at the mouth.

Wet Clay Cracking

Clay soaks up rain the way a flowerpot does. Light a fire in it while it is still damp, and the sudden rise in temperature can crack it.

Frost on Wet Clay

When a damp clay chiminea freezes overnight, the surface starts to flake and fine cracks open around the mouth.

Rust on the Iron

Cast iron and steel chimineas rust wherever water sits: in the base of the bowl, at the leg joints and around the chimney rim.

Sun on the Finish

Sun fades and dries out the paint on steel and the sealant on clay. Once the finish lifts, rain gets straight to the metal or the clay underneath.

Leaves in the Bowl

Autumn leaves and twigs drop into the mouth and settle on the ash. They hold the damp in the bowl and have to be cleared before the next fire.

Where Do You Use a Chiminea Cover?

Patios, decks, gravel terraces and the corner of the lawn: wherever the chiminea stays out between fires. It stays on through rain, frost and summer sun, and lifts off before you light the fire.

Every kind of chiminea is covered: clay and terracotta, cast iron and steel, sitting in a ring stand or on three legs. The cover takes its shape from your seven measurements, so the material makes no difference. Covering a fire pit as well? See our custom fire pit covers. Got a steel outdoor fireplace or garden log burner with a square firebox? Contact us and send photos of the firebox and flue, with its width, its depth and its height.

What Happens to a Chiminea Left Uncovered?

How Is This Chiminea Cover Different?

  • 01

    Seven Measurements, One Outline

    Width, depth and height set the overall size. The height to the chimney, the chimney’s own height, its width at the top and the belly’s circumference then decide where the cover narrows. The chimney section comes out slim and the belly section full, with no spare fabric bunched at the shoulder. A scaled design comes to you for approval first. See how the design service works.

  • 02

    Waterproof Down Every Seam

    Rain that lands on the chimney top runs the full height of the cover, over every seam on the way down. HydroLok® seals each seam on the inside, over the stitching, so the water can’t find a way in at the needle holes. NylonSafe® is a premium waterproof fabric for home and light commercial use. PVCArmour® is heavy-duty, for exposed sites and commercial use. Compare the two fabrics.

  • 03

    Gathered Round the Legs

    The standard tie-down is a drawstring hem. It closes in around the legs or the stand, just below the belly. On an open, exposed patio, eyelets let you tie the hem down to something solid, or choose snap buckles that clip around the legs.

  • 04

    Vents, Handles and a Bag

    Vents set near the top let damp air escape from the bowl, so the inside dries out rather than sweating. Each vent has an EZ handle, so the whole cover lifts clear of the chimney at once. The fabric carries UV stabilisers, so sunlight doesn’t weaken it. On nights the fire is lit, fold the cover into its duffel bag. See all the built-in features.

When Do You Need a Custom Chiminea Cover?

Some chimineas get by without one. Which side are you on?

Focused on Longevity

This cover is right for you if:

Your chiminea is clay or terracotta and stays out on the patio from one summer to the next

It is a heavy cast iron or steel chiminea, too awkward to carry into a shed

You light it most weekends and want a dry bowl and dry logs ready when you do

Focused on Immediacy

You don't need this if:

It is a small chiminea that goes into the garage when summer ends

It was a cheap buy you expect to replace in a year or two

You bring it out for the odd party and store it the rest of the year

Further Information

Cost Over Time

Why Buy Once Beats Buying Three Times

A cheap cover isn't a cheap decision. It's a cheap decision made every two years — until the chiminea underneath it isn't worth saving.

See the full cost breakdown
Should I cover my chiminea?
Yes, once it has cooled. Left bare, a clay chiminea soaks up rain and can crack the next time it is lit. A cast iron or steel one starts to rust wherever the water sits. Under a cover, the chimney and bowl stay dry from one fire to the next.
Is it safe to cover a chiminea straight after a fire?
No. Wait until the fire is fully out and the chiminea feels cold, inside the bowl as well as outside. Ash can hold its heat for hours, so if in doubt, leave it until the next morning.
Can my chiminea stay outside all winter?
A cast iron or steel chiminea can, under a cover that keeps rain, snow and leaves off and the bowl dry. Clay is different. A cover keeps clay dry, but it cannot stop frost, so clay chiminea makers advise bringing it indoors when a hard frost is forecast.
Which measurements does a chiminea cover need?
Seven things. Start with the overall width from leg tip to leg tip, then the depth, then how tall it stands to the chimney rim. Next, how high off the ground the chimney begins, how tall the chimney itself is, and its width at the very top. Last, run a soft tape round the widest part of the belly. Give us the exact figures: we allow an extra 25mm on width and depth ourselves, but leave the height as you measured it. Every letter has its own diagram in the measuring guide.
Does the chiminea lid stay on when I measure?
Yes, if the lid stays on between fires. Measure the chimney with the lid, rain cap or spark guard in place, and the cover will be sized to go over it. Take it off first if you store it somewhere else.
Will it fit a clay, cast iron or steel chiminea?
Yes. Material makes no difference to the cover. Clay, terracotta, cast iron and steel chimineas are all measured the same seven ways, whether they sit in a ring stand or on three legs.
Can you cover an outdoor fireplace or log burner too?
Yes. A steel outdoor fireplace or a garden log burner has a square firebox and a flue rather than a round belly, so it is measured differently. Contact us and send photos of the firebox and flue, with its width, its depth and its height. We’ll quote for a cover to fit it.
When will my chiminea cover arrive?
Each chiminea cover is currently made and delivered within 2–3 weeks, counted from the day you approve its design.
What warranty does a chiminea cover come with?
Warranty length follows the fabric. NylonSafe® chiminea covers have 3 years and PVCArmour® ones 5. Choose the KuvrPlus warranty extension and a NylonSafe® cover is covered for 5 years, a PVCArmour® one for 10. A torn or damaged cover can be mended rather than binned. Our warranty page spells out what is and isn’t included.

Customer video review of Garden Furniture Covers Custom Size

Great experience from start to finish. The cover is ample big enough to accommodate accessories and handles on the grill and is both massively more robust than typical covers and has multiple features - elastication, buckles and zips, to make sure it stays planted whatever the outdoor weather will throw at it. Will be buying a new Gozney oven grill later this year and will save money on their cover going for another Kuvr of this quality.

Customer photo review of Clear Kuvr Custom

We bought these clear tarpaulins to enclose our open terrace area, and they have been a great addition to the house.  The clear plastic lets in plenty of light, so it doesn't feel dark or boxed in. The zipped door in the middle is super handy for walking in and out without taking everything down.  Looking out in the morning, it makes a huge difference. It traps the overnight warmth and blocks early morning chills, making the space warm enough to sit out in comfortably. They do a brilliant job of stopping wind and rain, keeping the whole terrace dry and draft-free.  Our outdoor sofa, cushions, and artificial grass stay completely dry, so we don't have to drag everything inside when it rains.  It also gives us an extra sheltered spot to sit outside with the lights on, even in bad weather.

Not only are these covers fantastic. I purchased 3 covers for my very spoilt rabbit to keep her cosy over the cold winter months. I have to say the customer service from this company is 1st class. I placed my order had a small mix up due to my error and it was sorted straight away. Communication from John was very quick and straight forward. My covers arrived in the time I expected and I fitted them on my own. They have quality feel and look. You won’t be disappointed and I will definitely be ordering again.

We have two of the covers, one at each end of the veranda. They fitted well and I have attached them to the wall to prevent them from blowing too much in the wind. They are clear so we can still see out into the garden. Unfortunately you cannot see the far end cover as out rather overgrown Kentia palm is in the way. If anyone would like to buy it please let me know, that’s the palm!

Initial placement of order a problem quickly resolved by the firm. Have been needing a hot tub cap for sometime as the insulated top allowed rainwater to flow. Nothing available locally (Cyprus), found the firm via internet search. As expected shipping and customs clearance took some time with transit via France and Italy but courier was the first delivery to my house door in a small village, usually I have to collect. As for the item, at first look delighted. Robust with sealed seams and drawstring to prevent wind disturbance. Waiting patiently to confirm, as I expect, the cap is waterproof, also looks great as can be seen in the picture. Thanks. Geoff

The cover is amazing, just look at how well it fits and how great it looks. The quality is exceptional. As impressive as the cover is, the service was even better. It was the best customer service experience I've had in a long time. John was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He went well above and beyond what I expected, ensuring everything was perfect. His communication was excellent throughout, he was incredibly responsive, and nothing ever seemed too much trouble. It's rare to find someone so committed to delivering a great outcome and genuinely caring about their customers. I would give 6 stars if I could. Exceptional service and outstanding professionalism. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend both John and Kuvr to anyone looking for a high-quality cover backed by first-class customer service. Thank you again, John.

After a lot of internet searching and quotes from various companies I finally found Kuvr.co - They were the first company that actually listened to my requirements and helped me get exactly what I needed ( custom tarpaulin for covering a diy pergola). After discussions and reviews of drawings I then received the order promptly and with agreed sizes and eyelet orientation for my project. Definitely recommended. Thanks

Customer photo review of Clear Kuvr Custom

Initially I purchased some plastic sheets from Amazon, put the up and thought 'job done'. The sheets became discoloured, they constantly made a noise as they blew around and in the end they just tore apart. I then decided to do the job properly by looking into professional custom covers. I found Kuvr online and submitted an initial enquiry with some measurements. The whole experience from then on was awesome. I got a swift response and was guided through the selection and measuring process in a simple to follow way. Once their impressive price came back I just answered a few questions for additional details of exactly what I wanted and then approved the detailed drawings which they provided. The covers arrived on time and once I'd put them up The difference was amazing. The Kuvr covers are very clear, strong, excellently made and the days of listening to plastic rustling away in even the slightest breeze have well and truly gone. I will definitely be using this company in the future and have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.
