cratch cover material

[silverbuttocks]

HI All,

 

We are thinking of replacing our old and slightly shabby cratch cover. This one was hand made by the person who previously owned the boat. It is made from a big piece of most likely fairly cheap vinyl/plastic. We were thinking of going for the same stuff to keep down costs, or maybe someone knows of a reasonably priced alternative? If we take the old one off, measure the maximum area, but a piece, then overlay one on the other and cut it to size (folding over and gluing to strengthen hems/seams), then it shouldn't be that difficult, no? Anyone had experience doing this, any advice etc?? And if anyone knows of a decent supplier that would be much appreciated.

 

Cheers!!

Would that be squirrel-proof?

Good website but which material is the right thickness for a cratch or bow cover?

 

Damn site cheaper than using the professionals. There must be more to it than meets the eye.
