Abstract
The present invention provides a dome cover for a outdoor heater that is made up of a plurality of sides. Each side has at least three edges, a first edge is a finished edge, a second edge includes at least a first complementary fastener portion and a third edge includes at least a second complementary fastener portion. The first and second complementary fastener portions are configured and arranged to fit together to removably attach adjacent pairs of sides to form a generally pyramidal shape. At least two edges on each of the sides are elevated at an angle above the plane formed by the base to form the generally pyramidal shape. A cap is configured and arranged to hold the sides at the preferred angle. A locking plate is designed to cooperate with the cap to capture the sides between them.
