Stormy Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Would like some crate covers.... had a real quick browse online but wondered if any of you have any reccomendations... also please dont tell me to just use blankets etc as they pull them through they need to be fitted and i hope they might survive! lol Need to be able to block the sun out if needed also.

Maz51 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I've got a nice single bed cover on Chester's crate indoors to give him a sense of 'den' but tarpaulin is ideal re outside cover up! And if staked out on lines in a big enough size then no inlet of rain if going out about 3' all round. Could even cover three sides for insulation against rain/wind. Yeah?

qweasd Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 If you are getting a tarpaulin then I would recommend getting a canvas one - plastic ones are likely to get ripped. You could also look at making something with blackout curtain fabric (which you can get on ebay if you don't know anywhere near you).

Maz51 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I agree tarp is quite easily ripped....but is canvas waterproof enough or can it be sprayed to repel water?... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qweasd Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 It should be treated to be waterproof if it is a decent one. Are the crates outside, Stormy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Right...I'll look around for some canvas...my local Halfords might but I'll ask Autospares in town...or Google it! Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Couldn't copy url but google canvas tarpaulin uk.... Had a thought...old sails would be good too. Very weather proof and easy enough to get ring-holes put in once shape/ size is defined.... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted September 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 This is an old thread lol I only have one crate up now could still do with covers for camp though when I do put them outside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qweasd Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Maz, you could get a cheapish canvas one and a plastic one to go over it. They are available on ebay for a few pounds each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm sure you could get some very effective weatherproof covers fro old sails and much cheaper than new canvas-tarps! Check out any local sailing clubs or further afield... Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz51 Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yes...I don't know which would be the fastest to deteriorate so it would be whichever would that would not go on top! The sail material would be my favourite, being an old salt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
