Snow Blower Cover — Winter Protection That Pays Off
A snow blower earns its keep in the worst weather — and then sits idle for nine months. Rain, rust, and mice can wreck it in that idle time. A snow blower cover is one of the smartest off-season purchases a homeowner makes.
What Happens Without a Cover
- Rust forms on the chute, auger, and impeller
- Belts and cables corrode and seize
- Fuel lines degrade from UV exposure
- Mice nest in the engine housing and chew wires
- Paint on the housing fades and chips
Snow Blower Cover Sizing
Measure the blower’s total footprint:
| Blower Type |
Typical Size |
| Single-stage |
40-48” L x 20” W |
| Two-stage |
52-62” L x 24-26” W |
| Three-stage / wide |
65-72” L x 26-28” W |
Measure length, width, and height — including the handles, chute, and any attachments. Add 10 cm per dimension.

Preparation Before Covering
- Run the blower dry — empty the fuel tank or add stabilizer

- Wipe down the housing to remove road salt
- Loosen the auger control cables

Indoor vs Outdoor Storage
- Garage/shed: a dust cover keeps mice and grime out
- Outdoor: full waterproof cover — but always fuel-stabilized and dry
Maintenance Under the Cover
- Check monthly for mouse droppings and nesting
- Re-clean if the cover develops condensation
- In spring, wash and air-dry the cover before storing it folded
Key Takeaways
