An adjustable protective cover for use with an outdoor air conditioning unit comprises a framework of vertical supports and upper and lower struts forming a generally cubicle configuration. The protective cover further includes a screen having a top portion and a plurality of side portions. The top portion spans between the upper struts for shielding the top of the air conditioning unit from the sun and debris. The side portions of the screen span between respective vertical supports and upper and lower struts for shielding the sides of the air conditioning unit from the sun and debris. A plurality of slider bars are fixedly attached along free edges of the side portions of the screen adjacent respective lower struts. Each vertical support defines a slot extending longitudinally therealong. The cover further includes a plurality of knob fasteners that are slidable within the slots and which are threadably connected to respective slider bars. Accordingly, each side portion of the screen may be moved between open and closed configurations relative to the upper and lower struts of the framework upon slidable movement of a respective fastener along a slot path. As the fastener may threadably tighten or loosen a slider bar relative to a vertical support, the side portions may be held in partially open or closed configurations.
