Boat Covers
There's no disputing that we are a nation of boat lovers. In fact 1 in 10 New Zealanders benefit from owning a boat and the last thing we want is for our pride and joy to become irreparably damaged by the elements. Wind, rain, snow, pollution and harsh UV will all take their toll so that over time your unprotected boat may lose both its shine and value.
Left out in the open, boats accumulate dirt and moisture, which in turn, encourages mildew. Once this mould has taken root and penetrated the surface you will not only have unsightly stains but also permanent damage to the boat's fabric. Any dirt, foliage, oily spills, hand marks, road grime or bird droppings will attract mould while sea spray and rain deliver moisture that speeds the cycle to cause the damage. Similarly rust may soon develop if left to take hold on any metal fixings and fitments.
Probably the most important accessory that you can buy to keep your boat spic and span, shining and new is a boat cover. That combined with regular care and maintenance will ensure that you enjoy your investment for many years to come.
There are many different types of covers and we will advise you on the best option to suit your needs. Our off-the-shelf, waterproof covers are great for small inflatables that need only temporary protection from NZ's harsh UV. However, if your boat is going to be stored in the open then we strongly recommend a custom fitted cover. Anything else is likely to allow water to pool in loose areas of the cover and so not provide the level of protection that you would expect.
When it comes to custom made covers, selecting an appropriate fabric in the colour of your choice, along with a proper fit will ensure the optimum protection for your boat. Here at Terminator Boats we have staff with specialist experience in marine canvas and upholstery to provide you with the best possible cover for your needs. We use only the best materials so that, along with our quality workmanship, you get a cover to be proud of.
We will measure, fabricate and install your custom-fitted cover taking into account ease of use and practical requirements such as double-layered fabric around points of pressure, built in air vents, quality eyelets for tie downs, quick release buckles and strong zippers for repeated use. And if you need a cover that will fit around a ski arch, outboard engine, console or other marine accessory, we will do that too.
Please note that in virtually all cases we will require access to the boat to ensure a proper fit. Contact us now for more information or a quote >>
Custom-designed marine covers will provide you with years of protection for your powerboat or sailboat and its fittings.
