In Response To: More info please!!! (Malcolm Schweizer)

: Wow! That looks great. A few questions: 1.) Is this stuff UV friendly?

: 2.) How does the durability compare to more traditional coverings like nylon
: coated with 2-part poly?

: 3.) How do you shrink it, or do you just stretch it tight?

: Thanks,

: Malcolm

1) It's ok with UV, still needs stored inside.

2) It's not very abrasion nor puncture resistant, you have to use care with it as a cover.

3) It's just stretched into place.
