All You Need To Know About Canvas Trailer Covers

Recreation & Sports Blog

When the camping season is over, you have to store your trailer conveniently. This means keeping it away from several elements which might damage crucial parts thus limiting the functionality of the trailers. Protecting the trailer with a cover can result in various benefits for you as the owner. However, trailer covers come in a range of materials which may leave you baffled when looking to purchase one. Each comes with its very own advantages and disadvantages depending on the fabric used. You may be looking to buy a cover for your trailer. Well, here are some essential features you would love to know about canvas as a cover. 

  1. Sturdiness – When purchasing a trailer cover, it is necessary to consider the harsh outdoor elements the trailer is expected to face. Durability is one of the many advantages with canvas trailer covers. The fabric is created through precise weaving to ensure that it remains strong for as long as possible. Through this, your canvas can serve you longer without wear or tear.
  2. Heat Regulation – One characteristic about a canvas trailer cover is that it is thicker than the other fabrics available in the market. Such a feature can become quite advantageous especially when you are camping on a sunny day. The canvas will be able to absorb the external heat at a slower rate thus keeping the inside cool. This also works to your benefit during the night as the absorbed heat will be let out in a more gradual pace. This, therefore, means that you will be able to have warmer nights. The heat regulation ensures that you enjoy your camping experience without the worries of temperature change.
  3. Water Proofing Characteristics – Canvas is also well-known to resist water due to its tightly woven fabric. The weaving of the canvas trailer cover ensures that no water passes through. This makes sure that there is no growth of either mildew or mould which not only deface your trailer but also weaken the physical structure of several components. Canvas trailer covers are available in two different types which include the duck and plain covers. The duck canvas is densely woven which means it has a better performance rate than the plain covers. Also, the tight weaving makes them less breathable. This prevents the growth of both mould and mildew ensuring that your trailer is well protected even in rainy weather.
