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

1. First, check for any sharp objects or corners that could place stress on the cover as you pull it on.
2. 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.
3. Close the zipper and snap on the back. Adjust the cover on the golf cart as needed, so that all four corners are even.
4. 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.

"The outside of the fabric was wet to the touch but the inside remained impenetrable to the moisture and the boat remained bone dry!"

Need a boat cover for the winter? Check out these customer reviews for the DuraShield Trailerable Fishing Boat Cover below.

“With the price being so low and free shipping, I had little expectations of this product. Shortly after it arrived we were hit with a very early snow storm and 8 inches of heavy wet snow came down on it. I held my breath after each passing hour of the storm, fearing this first test would be the cover’s last.

I woke the next morning to find that it had sagged a little bit from the weight of the snow but there were no tears in the cover or in the straps that are nicely stitched into it! I actually had to use a plastic shovel to remove the majority of the snow and then broomed off the rest. The outside of the fabric was wet to the touch but the inside remained impenetrable to the moisture and the boat remained bone dry! I was amazed!

My boat is a 16ft V-haul and even with my outboard still mounted on the transom, the cover accommodates the entire area including the motor with ease! I can’t say enough about my satisfaction of the quality of this product and how simple and quick it was to order it and receive it!”
- Sargeant V.

“Bought this to cover my Sunfish sailboat for winter storage. Not an exact fit, but plenty of loops to accommodate bungees and cords. No problem during short trailering trip.”
- C. L. S.

“Good product. Used on 15′ Old Town canoe with flat stern.”
- Chad S.

"The bright yellow reflective triangle on the rear really shows up well to motorists behind the trailer." - Eric

Looking for a snowmobile cover this winter? Keep your sled clean and protected with an affordable sled cover from DuraShield Covers or Classic Accessories. Thanks to Eric Abney, one of our customers, for providing this review of the DuraShield snowmobile cover below!

Snowmobile Cover Review by Eric Abney

“Because of the low price of this cover, I was hesitant to purchase it, thinking we get what we pay for (which is true only some of the time). That is, until I saw someone with two of these covers on their sleds at the snow park. His opinion was that they were the best covers he has ever owned. I bought one to see how it lasted on my sled (which is a 162″ Ski Doo Summit X 1000 SDI Highmark).

Wow, this thing is heavy duty, trailers nice (even at fast highway speeds), is very stable, easy to install and remove, and has lasted the entire season without a single problem. The bright yellow reflective triangle on the rear really shows up well to motorists behind the trailer. The zippers are strong, which makes fueling my sled, with the cover installed, a breeze. I prefer this cover over the factory cover (which is quite expensive comparatively).

It is also important to know how frequently I sled: 3-5 times per week, all season long. This equates to many highway miles and numerous installs/removals of the cover throughout the season. In other words, this cover sees continuous use from November to April. The cover also comes with some straps which are used to help keep the cover in place at high trailering speeds; I’ve never used them and the cover has held up perfectly!

For those who want just the summary:

Excellent cover, heavy duty construction and zippers, no problems, trailers well, holds up to constant use all season long. I prefer this cover to any other cover I’ve seen or used, including the factory covers. The reflective triangle on the rear adds huge amounts of visibility to motorists following behind the trailer.”
