Weighted Vehicle Cover Stays Put
 ✖  |
With CoverSeal, storing cars, trucks, subcompact tractors and even yard and patio gear is easier and more secure from pests, the sun and the weather. The 360-degree flexible tube edges weighted with sand hold the covers in place in 40-mph winds, while air ventilation pockets prevent moisture build-up. The polyester covers reflect sunlight and are heat resistant.
“Our CEO Ken Huening came up with the concept after paying out more than $25,000 in rodent damage to his car collection,” says Melissa Croland, CoverSeal. “When I met him, I suggested we bring his concept to market.”
CoverSeal’s weighted edges discourage rodents from entering. Instead, they tend to travel around the cover and then move on to more convenient shelter. Tight-fitting covers catch and hold water in depressions. Designed to be loose fitting, CoverSeal covers billow in the wind, draining away excess water.
“We started with car covers four years ago and have since expanded as customers described other needs,” says Croland. “When a subcompact tractor owner described rodent damage to his equipment, we started an ag division.”
Their initial tractor cover ($360) fits midsize lawn and garden tractors with loaders. Croland says models will soon expand to include ATVs and larger equipment.
Car covers come in various sizes and shapes, from sportscar models to full-size cars, large SUVs and Jeeps. Light-duty versions are available for interior storage, and regular and premium heavy-duty versions are available for outdoor storage. Prices range from $150 for a light-duty sports car cover to $395 for a heavy-duty, large SUV/Jeep version.
Truck covers are available in heavy-duty versions for short-bed and long-bed models. The short-bed CoverSeal costs $390, and the long-bed version costs $595.
Other covers include BBQs and smokers from small to extra-large, ranging in price from $110 to $140. Patio furniture covers are available in small, medium and large sizes, ranging from $140 to $170.
CoverSeal covers are made from UV and water-resistant DWR-coated polyester ripstop fabric. They reflect 90 percent of sunlight and protect against wildfire ash up to 300 degrees. The bottom edge apron is completely waterproof and made of a high-grade tarp over 10 mil thick, which won’t degrade with ground contact.
Weights vary, with car and tractor covers in the 45 to 50 lb. range. Truck covers range from 60 to 75 lbs.
“We’re looking at introducing aprons for RVs,” says Croland. “Let us know if you have a special need. We can customize.”
