Outdoor tarp recommendations
« on: May 13, 2018, 17:56:59 »
Hi my v lives under a tarp when not in use. I currently have a Oxford stormex but it's slowly falling to peices. Can anyone recommend a better replacement?

I have had the same problem after a couple of years, now I use a decent section of tarpaulin and it seems to be holding up, not made to measure, but it keeps the rain off.

I have the Suzuki outdoor cover which is absolutely fabulous, not cheap but good quality

I bought a cheap (£8.95) Aldi cover not expecting much but it lasted nearly two years of constant outdoor use. Next one lasted just as long and I am now on my third. This one got slashed by some idiot but a bit of weatherproof tape and its back going strong.
