you mean like all the rain and snow that falls in there all winter?
Hell of a lot dryer in there with cover on.

What about the spring and summer rains?

Like Dan said, they're engineered to get wet AND to dry out quickly.
If you put a cover on it you will defeat the ability to dry out and rust
will set in from all the moisture trapped inside

The only reason to put a cover over (not touching the top of the unit) would
be to keep debris like leaves, pine needles and sticks from getting in and
causing the bottom to rust if not removed.
