After years of buying cheaper covers and tarps that last 2-3 years we bit the bullet and got three custom covers from Boatybits and I can't praise them enough.

Sensible prices when you consider other custom cover makers and also £70 quid here and £80 there on cheaper ones that just don't last.

I had a Oxford 600D cover from eBay which didn't last 3 months due to sun damage making it brittle.

Beerbelly had a bad report on Ducksback, and Chipko reports they only last a couple of seasons.

I purchased a 6x3m PVC tarpaulin, the same material is used to make RIB tubes and lorry curtainsides. Should last years. Was going to trim the corners but I'm not going to bother now as it makes it easier to fold up and doesn't look too bad when tucked in and fitted.
