Use all included straps to secure the boat cover.
Keep your fishing boat or speed boat protected with a boat cover. Winter weather, harsh sunlight, and rainy days can be hard on your boat’s finish and upholstery, but a quality boat cover will help prevent wear and tear from the environment.
Boat Cover Instructions
- Cover any sharp points or edges on the boat (such as the corners of the windshield) with a cloth or a sponge to avoid rips or tears when the cover is strapped tightly across the boat.
- Find the label with arrows sewn in the hem of the cover that indicates “Front.” Drape the front of the cover over the bow. Then roll the cover back over the boat and pull down the sides.
- Connect and secure all tie down straps included with your boat cover.
- Secure the tie down straps on the rear of the cover and secure the straps to the trailer frame.
- After connecting all of the straps, cinch the straps down tight for a secure fit.
Trailering a Boat
If you are transporting your boat on a trailer or open vehicle, double check that all of the straps are tight and the ends are secured before taking off. Stop and check the straps again shortly after you get on the road. Then check the boat cover straps again each time you stop.
An ATV cover that fits snugly will provide the best protection for your quad.
The better your ATV cover fits, the better it will protect your quad from mud, dirt, rain, and sun damage. Here are some tips to find the right ATV cover for your quad.
What size ATV cover do you need?
Measure the length of your ATV before ordering a cover. Make sure the cover is long enough to fit over the front and rear bumpers. Take into account any accessories that may not fit under the ATV cover, such as a snorkel, windshield, or other aftermarket add-ons.
The cover should be snug but not too tight. You should be able to install the cover without over-stretching or tearing.
Will you be using your ATV cover for trailering?
If you plan to use your ATV cover for hauling your quad on an open trailer, you’ll need a trailerable ATV cover. The fit should be snug, and the cover should have plenty of straps to prevent the fabric from lofting and whipping in the wind.
For storage only, you won’t need the extra straps, but the fit should still be snug enough to prevent wind lofting and keep the cover in place. If you live in an area with strong winds, you may want to use bungee cords to secure the ATV cover in place.
Your snowmobile cover should have plenty of straps for a tight, customized fit.
Looking for a high quality snowmobile cover? Here are some tips to help you find the right snowmobile cover for your sled.
Sizing
Get the right size. The better the snowmobile cover fits, the better it will stay in place and protect your sled. Measure your snowmobile length before placing your order. If you have more questions about fitment, contact customer service before choosing a snowmobile cover.
Trailering
For trailering a snowmobile, the more straps that you have on your cover, the better it will stay in place. Straps offer a tighter, more customized fit for universal snowmobile covers.
Fabric
Fabric thickness is an important clue to the durability of a snowmobile cover. The cover should also have reinforcements at all stress points—wherever the fabric rubs against hard points on the sled. Reinforced fabric will last hold up better against abrasion.
Breathability
The cover should be breathable. Moisture that gets trapped underneath the cover will promote the growth of mold and mildew, but with a built-in venting system, water stays out and condensation can evaporate.
Extras
A gas tank zipper for fueling up on the trailer comes in handy—no need to remove the snowmobile cover to fill up the gas tank.
A storage cover also comes in handy. Just fold or roll the cover and stuff it in the bag for safe keeping when the cover is not in use.
"Looks and feels just like the original cover for the boat—just MUCH better price!!" - Nicole A.
“This cover was a great fit on my RXL 28′ Benington pontoon. Delivery was quick. This was a great price on this cover. Very happy with the whole transaction and product.”
- Qweido
“Easy to install. Fits great with extra eyelets in front to secure for trailering. Straps go completely under the boat, and a simple toss from one side to the other avoids having to climb underneath.”
- Scott C.
“My boat cover arrived on time without issue. It has been very rainy where I live, so haven’t been able to cover boat yet, but the material of cover looks & feels just like the original cover for the boat—just MUCH better price!!”
- Nicole A.
“After reading the reviews, I expected this to be much more difficult to install. I’m in my early thirties and pretty active. This was not a problem to install on my 18 foot pontoon. I also read about the rain pools and was worried about the Midwest winter snow months. My solution was to build a skeleton of PVC pipe underneath to keep the cover tented. So far that is working well. We will see how this holds up over time…”

Use tie downs and bungee cords to secure your grill cover.
Is your grill cover or patio furniture cover in danger of getting blown away by strong winds? A poorly secured cover can blow off and leave your grill or patio furniture unprotected. Plus, if you can’t find your cover again, you’ll have to buy a new one.
To keep your cover from getting blown away, make sure you tie it down securely. Your grill cover and patio furniture covers should come with tie downs—for example, Velcro tie downs or bungee cords that attach underneath the grill or patio furniture.
If you live in an area with strong winds, your outdoor cover may need to be tied down more securely than the using the cover tie downs alone. For an extra measure of security, use extra bungee cords to secure the grill or patio furniture cover. Hook one end of the bungee underneath the grill (or table or chair), wrap the bungee around the grill, and attach the other end of the bungee to the underside of the grill on the opposite side.
The better the cover fits, the less likely it will be to blow away, so make sure you get the right size grill cover or patio furniture cover for your outdoor patio.
Keep your golf cart cover clean.
A golf cart cover provides protection from dirt, dust, debris, and moisture. Your golf cart will last longer and stay cleaner when it’s covered with a water-resistant golf cart cover.
How to Install a Golf Cart Cover
- First, check for any sharp objects or corners that could place stress on the cover as you pull it on.
- Unzip the back zipper and open the bottom snap on the golf cart cover. Pull the cover over the top of the golf cart, with the zipper at the back.
- Close the zipper and snap on the back. Adjust the cover on the golf cart as needed, so that all four corners are even.
- To remove the cover, open the zipper and bottom snap and pull the cover off the cart, taking care not to snag it on sharp corners or objects.
How to Clean a Golf Cart Cover
Brush off any debris, twigs, and leaves from the golf cart cover. Then use a soft brush and lukewarm water to wash the cover. You can leave the cover on the golf cart while you clean it. Rinse off the cover and let it dry.
Make sure the cover is completely dry before folding it up for storage. Trapped moisture promotes the growth of mold and mildew. When you are not using it, store your golf cart cover in a dry area out of direct sunlight.

Measure the length of your grill to find the right size cover.
Before purchasing a grill cover, measure your grill to find the right size cover. The better the cover fits, the better it will protect your grill.
Taking Measurements
Measure the length of the grill across the front, from the end of one tray to the end of the other tray. Measure the depth of the grill from front to back and the height of the grill from top to bottom.
The most important measurement is length. The grill cover should be slightly longer than the length of your grill for a snug fit.
Grill Cover Sizes
Classic Accessories grill covers are divided into sizes, from Medium to XX-Large. Medium grill covers are 58 inches long. Large covers are 64 or 65 inches. Extra large is 70 inches, and XX-large is 72 inches long.
The depth of the covers is 24 inches (28 inches for XXL), and the height of the covers is about 48 inches on average. Grill covers are not designed to cover the wheels or leg bottoms completely. In fact, a few extra inches at the bottom of the cover is a good thing, since it allows for air circulation under the cover.
Replace your ATV cover if the fabric becomes torn or worn through.
An ATV cover keeps your quad clean and dry during storage and trailering. For the best protection, your cover should be free of debris and snow buildup.
Washing Your ATV Cover
The easiest way to clean an ATV cover is to wash it while it’s on your ATV. Use a soft brush to remove debris and hose the cover down with a low-pressure garden hose. Do not throw your ATV cover in the washing machine, and avoid the use of harsh chemicals. Your ATV cover is designed with special coatings that can be compromised by harsh soaps, chemicals, or bleach.
Storing Your ATV Cover
Make sure your ATV cover is clean and completely dry before storage. A wet, dirty ATV cover encourages the growth of mold and mildew. Store the cover in a dry storage area, preferably in a temperature-controlled climate.
Replacing Your ATV Cover
For the best protection, your ATV cover should be free of rips and tears. If the fabric wears through or you get a hole in the cover, it’s time to replace it or take it to an upholstery shop for professional repair.
