Halo Grills Versa 16 Cover — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Halo Grills Versa 16 Cover?
The Halo Versa 16 Cover (model HZ-5004) is a weather-resistant protective cover custom designed to fit the Halo Versa 16 Outdoor Pizza Oven, protecting it from rain, dust, UV rays, and other outdoor elements.
What materials and protective features does it include?
• Constructed from **PVC-coated 600×300 denier polyester** for durability and weather resistance.
• Incorporates **hex-thread polyester fabrics** for enhanced strength.
• Has a **UV stability rating of 4** to resist sun damage.
• Strategically placed **plastic panels** built in to provide structure and extra protection where the cover might bear on the oven.
• A **side pocket** designed to hold a 1 lb propane canister for convenient storage.
• The cover is designed to **fold flat and hang** when not in use.
How do I fit, use, and care for the cover?
1. Ensure the Versa 16 oven is completely cool before placing the cover over it.
2. Slide the cover smoothly over the oven, making sure plastic panels align to provide structure, and the elastic or edges grip securely.
3. The side pocket can hold a 1 lb propane container, but avoid storing heavier items in it.
4. Occasionally remove the cover, shake off debris, and allow it to air dry.
5. Avoid flapping or excessive wind — if windy, consider partially removing the cover or anchoring it.
6. Fold the cover flat or hang it when not in use to minimize creases and preserve shape.
What are the main benefits and limitations?
Benefits:
• Tailored fit ensures minimal sagging, flapping, or shifting.
• Durable materials help protect against rain, sun, and dust.
• Reinforced plastic panels add structure and prevent cover from pressing against oven surfaces.
• Side pocket adds practical storage for a small propane canister.
• Easy to fold, hang, and stow when not in use.
Limitations / cautions:
• The UV stability rating of 4 is moderate — prolonged, intense sun exposure may degrade the fabric over many seasons.
• Cover must not be applied when the oven is still hot — trapped heat could damage the cover or affect the oven finish.
• In very strong winds, even well-fitted covers can flap; care is needed to avoid wear at seams.
• Plastic panels may add rigidity but also points of stress at joints — inspect regularly.
• The side pocket is convenient but should not be overloaded or used for large or heavy items.
