Hey Mark, Yes the cover was nice and heavy duty and fit two bikes comfortably underneath (though it may not touch the ground depending on sizes; your mileage may vary). IIRC, I just draped it over a Surly Karate Monkey with 875mm bars and could fit one other MTB snug up against it. Did the trick for dust/dirt/stuff. Really just want to cover the drivetrain I suppose.
