I wouldn't have one on The Great Plains with no wind break for 1000 miles but if you live in a sheltered or woodsy area, there are benefits. I have hills and trees so the wind is moderate and the stuff off the trees is unbelievable. I am planning to lightly pressure wash the cover in place on the 5'er to get the blackest, nastiest stains off before I remove it. After only a year I've already started with some small Gorilla Tape patches, mostly my fault, some not. Covers are problematic and people have strong opinions based on experience or research so you just have to weigh the variables and make your own call. I just wish they'd use better fabric.
