I’ve had this Outdoor Classics Heavy Duty 36″ Round fire pit cover for about a week now. I purchased it for my 34″ diameter fire pit (which, with the spark screen on it, stands 21″ tall) with a removable spark screen “dome” on it and the cover is plenty big. I would guess that it would easily fit a 36″ diameter fire pit. The cover is made from a material almost like a rubberized light canvas. It does NOT have the feel of being all plastic, like a swimming pool toy, float, or a plastic tarp. It seems durable and heavy enough to do the job. It has been in heavy and light rain for the last two days and it is shedding off all the rainwater. There were no leaks that I can see so, unlike a previous reviewer, my fire pit is completely dry underneath this cover. It has a draw string around the bottom edge with a push button clasp in which you can pull the string tight around the bottom of the fire pit so the wind will not blow or pull it off. The bottom outside edge (not the bottom of the metal fire pit) of my fire pit sits 13″ off the ground and this cover has a 4 and one-half inch ground clearance when mounted on this fire pit with spark screen. Drawing the string tight will increase this ground clearance somewhat. I believe this will suit my needs for a fire pit cover that will sit outside in the rain and sun.UPDATE 9/6/15: I purchased this cover at the end of Dec. ’14. I has been on my fire pit since receiving it and is still keeping rain from getting into the grill, but it has faded to a light gray color in the sun over this period of time. The portion of the cover below the top of the grill is still a deep black color but the portion of the cover covering the top of the grill is very faded. It has been this way for at least a couple of months now. Other than it severely fading, and now a two-tone cover, I am still pleased that it is still keeping rain out of the fire pit.UPDATE 12/28/15: The cover is now leaking water quite substantially, as 2″ of ashes left in the fire pit were completely soaked. It started leaking water during the first week of December ’15. While the seams are still viable and the cover is not tearing or shredding, it will not keep rain from entering the fire pit. The top portion of the cover has faded somewhat more, while the portion hanging under the fire pit is still black, but not as deep a black as it was new. In summary, the cover kept rain from entering the fire pit for almost a year. The color though faded drastically much sooner. I am now first covering the spark screen with a large trash bag then replacing this cover over the trash bag/fire pit until it can be replaced.
