It is worth buying a proper one like those in the previous link IMO.

The cheaper ones with the green mesh do not last long, in my experience - as the little panes between the green mesh start to fall out after about 18months. New covers start at about £50 - presuming that the frame is still worth covering..Mine wasn't  :(

If you are a DIYer, you can make one fairly easily though.  Have a look here
