Covers can damage your units. The long-term shelter they provide if you keep one up all season is precisely what rodents and backyard pests are looking for, and they can either damage the ventilation if they get caught in it or strip the wires and coolant lines. Covers also create an overly humid environment that mildew builds in, whereas a unit without a cover has plenty of circulation and exposure to dry air.
The best way to protect your unit with a barrier, if you're concerned about
physical damage, is with a fence around the unit. Many residences have
decorative fences that increase curb appeal, but the right materials can stop
broken branches and debris from hitting the side of the machine. But it's even
more important to regularly inspect and clear off your outdoor unit.
