I just bought a couple of cheapy ones off ebay thinking they'd be alright. They don't look anything like the picture and are thin grey polypropylene which tears really easy. under a fiver each.
You get what you pay for
Poor men pay twice
Buy cheap pay dear
etc......
The one which lasted was a £15 Oxford vented blue/silver thing which I've had many years, and used it almost throughout. Made from nylon (like the material they make umbrellas from) , large vents, lots of tie down eyelets.
900 with better bits. Owes me nothing, Makes me smile

The cheap ones I've found to be a false economy. They degrade quickly and rip easy. I did find a decent cover for my Grom, which was a BBQ cover. Very good quality and heavy duty. It's worth taking dimensions and looking at garden furniture covers that fit.
