Boat Storage Cover

Boat covers are able to offer protection to either the exterior or interior of a watercraft - and often seen as a invaluable purchase. The boat storage cover options are vast, with covers dedicated to general storage protection, to those that offer protection as the boat is being trailed down the highway, and those that stand up to the harshest weather condition throughout the winter season.

In order to determine the type of cover required its important to consider several factors - is the lay up location outside and exposed to the elements or inside and under shelter, the typical weather conditions to be expected during the off-season, and the time that the boat is expect to sit in storage.

If its the intension to protect the fishing, sail, or motorboat from the affects of sun damage, its crucial to look at boat covers that are UV treated. If storing outdoors for the off-season in an area that receives a lot of rain fall, its necessary to opt for a dedicated waterproof cover thats resistant to mildew. And if looking at long term storage, its often a wise choice to go with a heavy-duty material.

The boat cover material is one crucial factor to how well the craft is to be protected. Polyester is a extremely durable and tough fabric, and the strongest option on offer. Polyester-cotton is breathable, and able to repel the water - another high-quality option. And cotton boat covers are often the first to display the deteriorating signs of wear.

A reliable boat storage cover is able to prevent an estimated 35% to 50% of the damage that might otherwise be caused to a watercraft thats un-covered and left to fend for itself.
