The problem you have are the UV. Same thing wih BBQ covers, nothing lasts.
Get the same cover you had but add a layer of roofing felt on top to protect from direct day light.
As we live in a flat (outside balcony) we have to store our two mountain bikes outside. Every cover I've bought (and that's a few) start tearing after maybe nearly a year and develop splits.
Can anyone recommend a very durable cover that's going to last? Maybe I should look at motorbike covers which seem more durable/heavy duty?
This looks pretty decent, anyone used one?

Interesting , and a coincidence! I have a large motorcycle bike cover for sale as I have sold my bikes now and it sits there doing nothing , all seems double stitched and taped for strength and is completely waterproof,vents and securing tapes also , pm me if you are interested .

I store my two bikes on a balcony too. After trying a a couple of other covers I got two of these. They are great!

I think I have had them about three years and apart from discolouration they are in great nick. They are elaticated and have yet to be blown off.
I ended up using motorbike covers and just replaced every 2 years or so.
Many thanks guys for your replies. I'm following up some of your answers.
Images of my cover For Rod,easily covers two bikes and I have placed my Giant Propel for scale and a can of our favourite oil.
