How would this material work for a boat cover? Want air flow thru product & decent sun protection but worried about overall weight and chafing.

It is very lightweight and does provide air flow, however because it is a weave it could produce fine scratches if it were to rub a lot.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

The foam should work fine. You may want to look into marine grade vinyl for the covers as boat cushions tend to have excessive sun and (salt) water exposure.

I would not recommend traveling at 30 mph with this top raised and in the open position. If you were looking at using this product under these conditions I would recommend 4 extra bracing tubes mounted at 45 degree angles to support the existing four tubes along with an additional 4 tie down straps. Tow extra for the front and two for the rear. In other words it might be worth looking for another product.This is an inexpensive affordable product that comes with everything needed to install on boat and provide great sun and weather cover. My wife and I installed ours in 40 minutes. We only use it when anchored or docked. Good luck hope this helps. I would not recommend traveling at 30 mph with this top raised and in the open position.

If I were you I would go with the next size up for fuller coverage. We have a 17' bass boat with center console and it fits just right with the chairs removed. It won't quite fit over the motor, and I wish it did. I wouldn't take my boat down the road with this cover on.

It should be fine the breeze should move through with no problems. I'm going to be doing exactly that camping on the beach in about a month so will know better when I return.

I see another person answered that the breeze goes through it because it is mesh. It is mesh, but very tightly woven mesh. It does break wind gusts. It does not block air flow 100%, but definitely would break gusts. If you want 100% air block, tarp would be probably work better, But I think I know what you are doing, and this would work fine for a garden. Tarp would work, too. Which is cheaper?

I had lived in places with high wind in the past, so I would say any covers can get ripped depending to how strong the winds are. With that said I think this one has better chance of staying put, due to its material of construction and elastics at the bottom, also it has a vent which could move the air through it. It is better than any other ones I had in the past and I paid almost twice as much for those.

If you're using it as a pool cover as well as a solar cover, it probably won't completely cover the water. But as just a solar cover it would be fine. They run big so that you can tuck them in under the ring to help prevent them from blowing off in a high wind. I always tuck mine in and I have never had it blow off.

Thanks for contacting us! The square of fabric on the back will restrict airflow a little however not enough to make you uncomfortable. This vest incorporates more than enough mesh to keep an angler cool on a hot day in my opinion. I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.Thanks,Fishwest Staff

oh woops, I thought you were talking about the hot tub cover, this product is just like bubble wrap you get in the packing material. I cut the sides so it fit the shape of my hot tub and it held the heat in.. it floated nicely over the top of the water and was easy to put on/ take off. Over TOP of the hot tub I had a solid cover and over top of that (to protect it from the elements) I had a fabric cover with elastic on the sides to hold it on the hot tub over the solid cover. Hope it helps, I should have looked at the picture before responding.

My experience is that the 3M product will do very well. It's very sticky. After you put it on, use a hair blower to warm it up and wait about 5 minutes to cool. It should do exceptionally well even under water.

It is a solar blanket, so it uses bubbles similar to bubble wrap to capture the sun's rays and heat the water. These bubbles allow the the cover to float on top of the water. We have had 70mph winds come through and this cover didn't even lift up at a corner!

Rita - I am not sure about the material bu it really works for us. We typically camp in the Shendoah's where we get unexpected rains and they did the trick. We use them not for shade but for rain protection.

They make a rectangular version that would serve your purpose better than the triangular party sail. I will need to purchase a rectangular version as well since the triangle didn't effectively block low afternoon sun. However whatever version u choose will certainly be more attractive than a tarp and will also allow air to flow through. Use snap locks to attach to dog run.

Effective enough for scaring birds and keeping them from messing on our deck... but not sure about your boat. We used the sizeable hole on the bottom to slide it onto a piece of pvc pipe as far up as it would go. Winds have never toppled it... i think this method 'could' possibly work on your boat.

Depends on where you connect it. If you lanai has strong supports you will be okay if hooking to the corner supports I would suspect. One advantage of this type of sail is that it lets the air pass through it so it does not act like a sail but more of a screen. I am impresses with it and have used mine to cover a boat in florida. It is holding up great and has been in service over a year now. Hope this helps.
