Posted on by Larry Lewis
Mower Cover

With the end of summer coming, there are many fun things that I will miss – a few things that I won’t miss. Cutting grass has to be one of my least favorite things to do. It is completely unavoidable, though.

With fall and winter comes less frequent mows so a Mower Cover is a must have accessory!

Whether you have a traditional push mower or a high-tech tractor variety, you can find the perfect cover to protect and prevent damage from sun , bad weather, dirt, birds and tree sap.

Take care of your tools so that they will take care of you, making this chore as easy as possible!

Celebrate the RV’s 100th Anniversary With an RV Adventure

Posted on by Larry Lewis
1917 Recreational Vehicle

The year 2010 marks the 100th anniversary of the Recreational Vehicle, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by taking your RV out on the road. 

Go for a weekend or go for a month — it doesn’t matter because your RV is always ready for an adventure.  Do you know, though, what the average number of days per year an RV is actually out on the road?  

Only 26, according to a 2005 University of Michigan study commissioned by the Recreational Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA).

So what happens to the RV on those remaining 339 days?

It probably stays safely in storage at an outdoor RV storage facility, or perhaps it lives in a quiet corner of a homeowner’s property.  Keeping the RV protected with RV Covers will ensure a longer life and more adventures on the road.

Will today’s version of the RV be around when Recreational Vehicles celebrate their bicentennial in 2110?

Probably not — RV innovations go into making newer and better vehicles every year — but you can be sure that RVs will continue to thrive as one of America’s favorite ways to take a holiday.

Shade Ideas

Custom Shade Cloths Cover It All!

Posted on by Larry Lewis

If you are looking for a durable, easy to use, and beautiful way to provide cover around your home, you should definitely consider Shade Cloth. 

If you are not familiar with shade cloth, it is a knitted or woven material that is waterproof, fade resistant, and UV blocking.

It is extremely moisture resistant and can hold up to the most extreme temperatures. It is perfect for covering playground areas, pergolas, patios, carports, entryways, gazebos, porches, dog kennels, or any other area where you want to provide a cooling and comfortable shade. 

Shade cloth can be easily attached to any wooden structure with screws because lock stitch construction prevents tearing or fraying when the material is cut. 

You can purchase any amount of fabric and trim it to fit your needs. You will not be disappointed with this shade covering.

Jet Ski Covers Now Will Ensure Summer Fun Next Year

Jet Ski Covers

The waters are getting colder as the summer season transitions into fall.  Hopping aboard that jet ski for an exciting spin in the lake is not as tempting now as it was just a few weeks ago when the temperatures were still sweltering.  

It’s just about time to think ahead to winter sports and to fun-filled, snowy days — but not before you protect your summer investment with a high quality protective cover. 

 Jet Ski Covers should be constructed of fabric that provides superior protection against sun, rain, dirt, and pollutants. 

If you store your jet ski outdoors throughout the year, that cover should also have rear air vents to reduce inside moisture and to keep the cover down during windy days. 

It’s a good idea to keep your jet ski covered in the summer months while it’s not in use, but it’s especially vital to cover your jet ski over the long winter months when it could be exposed to snow and ice, in addition to sun, rain, and dirt.

Protecting your jet ski adequately now will pay off when summer rolls around again and the waters are warm enough to take it for a spin.

Outdoor Sports

My husband loves to golf and I have found the perfect accessory for his birthday gift (shhhh…don’t tell him). Golf Cart Covers are a wise investment for any golfer. 

They protect the inside of the car during sudden downpours, keeping you dry and warm.

Available in various styles and sizes, you can cover the entire cart (including clubs) or a smaller portion.

If you are looking for something smaller, you can find seat covers, windshields, and protective covers – all designed exclusively to fit your golf cart. Your golfer will definitely thank you!

Don’t Neglect Your Patio Umbrella This Winter

Patio Umbrella Cover

As summer winds down, it’s a good time to start thinking about how you plan to protect your outdoor patio furniture when it’s not being used during the colder months.

Do you have a large enough shed or storage area to put all that furniture away?

Many people don’t, so investing in high quality Patio Furniture Covers is essential for ensuring that your furniture stays properly protected through all kinds of weather.

The patio umbrella is often the most neglected piece of outdoor furniture when it comes to covering the patio furniture.  

Many people don’t realize that they can cover their patio or market umbrella, too. 

Patio umbrellas tend not to last more than a couple of years when they have to endure harsh winter weather without protection, but with a Patio Umbrella Cover, you can enjoy your umbrella for many years to come.

Winter Pool Cover Accessories

Even though the temperatures are soaring right now, it will be time to close your pool before you know it.

If you already have a pool cover, you have made a wise investment that will keep your pool fresh and protected until next spring. 

There are several accessories available to help keep your cover in place and functioning properly.

Swimming Pool Cover Pumps are designed to remove water from your pool cover. They are available in manual or automatic models and will ensure that your cover does not sag and pool from rain/snow water.

Cover Clips are another important accessory to make sure your above ground pool cover stays in place for winter. They work like a clothes pin to hold your winter cover on tight. They reduce the wear and tear on your cover so that it will last years to come.

These, as well as many other cover accessories, are designed to keep your pool clean and protected all winter long. They are a wise investment for any pool owner.

All Season Windshield Cover Makes Life a Bit Easier

Posted on by Larry Lewis

Which is your least favorite thing to do…sit in a sweltering sun-baked car interior while waiting desperately for the air conditioning to kick in, or feverishly brush and scrape the snow and ice from the windshield in the wee hours of the morning before driving to work?

It’s a toughy.  It’s also a fact of life for many people who drive vehicles that sit on driveways or in parking lots for any significant amount of time over the course of a 24-hour day.

With an all season Windshield Cover, you can avoid both of these uncomfortable situations, and then some.  A windshield cover blocks out the sun’s rays, keeping the interior of your vehicle much cooler than it would be without a windshield cover.

And, because this particular cover attaches to the outside of the windshield rather than to the inside, it prevents ice and snow from building up on your windshield in winter.  No more brushing and scraping, and your view while driving is no longer obstructed by any leftover ice or snow.

Solar Pool Covers Can Extend the Swimming Season

Posted on by Larry Lewis

With fall quickly approaching, the hot days will begin to turn cool and pools all over the country will be closing. Why not invest in something now to extend your swimming season?

Solar Pool Covers are the perfect option. Solar covers, or blankets, are like big pieces of bubble wrap that work to catch heat and transmit it to your pool water.

They also help to retain heat overnight to add extra warmth to the pool. Placement and removal are a breeze because the cover floats freely on the pool’s surface and is not tied down.

Available in round or rectangular, they can all raise your pool’s temperatures up to 15 degrees with daily use. 

Let yourself and your family enjoy your pool longer into the fall with an inexpensive and useful solar blanket.
