Custom Boat Covers
Our custom boat covers use Aqualon Marine fabric to protect watercraft from UV damage and harsh weather. Each cover is handcrafted to fit specific boat models, offering options like Bimini tops, cockpit covers, and winter enclosures. With reinforced stitching and breathable materials, our covers prevent mold and extend vessel lifespan while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
RV Skirts
Custom RV skirts provide thermal protection and undercarriage defense for recreational vehicles. Made from heavy-duty materials, these skirts insulate against extreme temperatures while preventing debris accumulation. Our team ensures precise measurements for seamless installation, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort during seasonal travel and storage.
Truck Tarps
Engineered for commercial transport, our truck tarps feature Shelter-lite fabric that's 33% lighter yet highly durable. Available in multiple sizes and configurations, these waterproof covers secure cargo while meeting federal regulations. Reinforced D-rings and grommets ensure secure fastening, reducing load claims and road debris risks.
Wall Tents
Premium wall tents combine traditional canvas durability with modern design for camping and glamping applications. Available in multiple configurations, these weather-resistant shelters feature reinforced poles and customizable options like insulation packages. Designed for extreme climates, they provide reliable shelter for outdoor enthusiasts and commercial operations.
Awnings
Custom awnings enhance outdoor spaces with weather protection and branding opportunities. We manufacture retractable, stationary, and motorized options using UV-resistant fabrics. Commercial-grade frames ensure durability against wind and snow loads while personalized designs reinforce brand visibility for businesses.

They charged me $275 for an out of stock item in November and have not issued a refund yet. I get silly runarounds and promises. This appears to be a scam site operated by one older sounding man. I suspect other 5 star reviews here are posted by himself. Stay away to save yourself trouble.

I highly recommend this place for any canvas work you may need done. The skirting they out on my RV is the best quality I have seen and they went above and beyond to accommodate me. I really appreciate the work they did.
