Sandbox Covers
function to keep the sand clean for the kiddies.
They keep the debris and critters out. In choosing the right
fabric we are left with these considerations:
-
Do you want to keep the critters and debris out and let the
water pass? Choose a shadecloth.
-
Do you want to keep the critters and debris out along with the
water? Choose a poly-vinyl.
- Choose only fabrics that will
last in either case.
- Then decide whether you care about color,
economy, or both.
The cover shown is a Textilene green shadecloth. It lets the
water pass through. The characteristics of this fabric can be
viewed on the outdoor fabric page
, but the bottom line is the shadecloths look great and will
last almost indefinitely! The 70% Black Mesh fabric or the 70%
Black Quality shadecloths are economy versions of shadecloth,
but they'll serve your sandbox well and will probably outlast
your children's sandbox years.
If you are intent on dry sand, you'll need a waterproof cover.
There are lots of cheap vinyl fabrics out there. We've
recommended a suitable fabric on the
outdoor fabric page. It is a
Vinyl laminated Polyester. Just remember, if you choose a
waterproof cover, you'll need to have it made a little bigger
than your box, then plan to prop a large ball or other toy in
the middle for water runoff. If you want to buy a custom
cover, check out

protect the boat's interior. In choosing the right

Canopy Covers
function for shade, beauty and privacy. In choosing the right
fabric we are left with these considerations:

Marine Polyester or a Tent

economy, or both.

Cooler Covers - Equipment Covers
function for protection of your swamp cooler in winter
months. In choosing the right
fabric we are left with these considerations:
- Do you want an economical cover that serves its purpose?
Choose treated cotton duck.
-
Do you want a tough, durable cover in your choice color, that
will last many years? Choose Top
Gun Marine Polyester - see color chart above.
- Do you want a tough, durable waterproof cover for equipment?
The 18 oz Poly-vinyl is a good
choice for these covers. It is both tough and economical.
- Choose fabrics that will
last in either case. Then decide whether you care about color,
economy, or both.
The cover shown is a durable Top Gun Marine Polyester
evaporative cooler cover. The characteristics of this fabric can be
viewed on the outdoor fabric page.
These cooler covers are often made in a treated cotton duck,
which is a somewhat less expensive cover. The treated duck will
not last nearly as long as the Marine polyester, yet it is an
economical alternative. If you want to buy a custom cover - for swamp cooler, turbine
