Covers built to the product, not to a size chart.

It depends far more on the fabric and its finish than on the stitching. Solution-dyed fabrics with a UV rating of 4 to 5 hold colour and water resistance through years of full sun, while standard coated polyesters cost less and give up UV resistance sooner. For abrasion and heavy handling we go up to 1680D.

The failure point is almost never the panel. It is the seams, the hardware, and anywhere the cover flaps in wind, which is why a close fit matters as much as the material does. Tell us where the product lives and how often it is handled, and we will spec to that rather than quote a lifespan that does not survive your environment.

Mil thickness is the common shorthand, but for a sewn cover it is the wrong single number to optimise. The figures that predict how a cover performs are fabric weight in ounces per square yard, the coating, and the tear and abrasion ratings.

A heavier fabric that cracks where it folds is worse than a lighter one engineered to be folded. We select by how the cover is actually used: shipped and stored, left outside year round, or taken on and off every day.

Yes, and designing for reuse changes the build. A cover that goes on and off daily needs reinforcement where people grab it, hardware rated for repeated cycling, and a fit loose enough to be quick but tight enough not to flap.

Single-use protective covers for shipping are a different and cheaper product. Say which one you need at the start, because it drives material and cost more than the size of the product does.

Yes. Generators, trailers, vehicles and field equipment all follow the same process: we pattern to the unit, specify the fabric for where it is deployed, and build a first article before the run.

If the program requires Berry Amendment compliant materials, tell us at the quote stage, because it determines how the fabric and hardware are sourced. More on our military contract sewing work.

There is no list price, because a cover is priced on the pattern, the material, the hardware and the run size rather than on dimensions alone.

The largest lever by far is quantity. The per-unit cost of a first article is not the per-unit cost at a few thousand, so a quote against a real run size is the only one worth having. Send us a product, a drawing or an existing cover and we will price against the actual thing.

We run from pilot quantities of around 100 units through to orders of 100,000 and above.

Before a full run we build production-ready first articles, so the design is validated on real material and real equipment before you commit to volume. That step is what keeps a scale-up from turning into a redesign.

Yes. A physical sample, an existing cover, a drawing, or photographs with key dimensions are all enough to start.

We pattern from the product itself wherever we can, which is often more accurate than modelling from a drawing, because it captures the handles, latches, hoses and protrusions that a cover actually has to clear.

You work directly with the people designing, sewing and shipping the product. That is the reason a change request is answered in days rather than across an overseas shipping cycle.
