Yes, I throw a piece of plastic over my main forge but it doesn't matter much even if I didn't. This is a forge, not some custom car you're building to show off how pretty it is. If it gets hot enough to forge your steel that's ALL that is required of it so stop worrying about how it looks because the looks won't last anyway. A little water won't hurt it.
Some of my forges like the Claiborne forge you saw in the video have been outside for 10 years with snow sitting on them every winter. You saw it running in the video, I did nothing to it except stick a burner on it and it was good to go. It has a paper thin steel shell, 1" of wool with Satanite, and a brick in the bottom. Bugs build nests in it, rain and snow fall on it but none of that matters when that burner lights up ....
