temporary cover to protect the seats
by: Ellen

Looking for seat covers to protect upholstery when boat is docked and I am not having much luck online. Ours are mostly lounge seats and mostly what I am finding I don’t think will fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated!


Hi Ellen,
Sunbrella is good for breathability, longevity and warranty, but must be lined with protective fabric to keep it from burning the seats where it touches. It is a very hot fabric.
Weathermax is nice for its warranty and it’s cooler. Lining it is not neccessary.
For something waterproof with a 7 year warranty you might try Aqualon edge is very cool to the touch due to being coated with perfecta. The coolness is very desirable, but the warranty won’t be quite as long.
