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.

This is the best I can answer your question. We got it to use in a camp ground to protect the car from dust, oak fog and cotton wood debris. It does the job and we consider it waterproof too. It was in a bevy rain Saturday night . There were a few drops laying of top of the cover but nothing wet underneath. And, yes, we feel that it also protects from the sun. Hope this helps you.

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.

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!

obviously there will be some slack because of your dimensions. this is a great temporary cover. it will last you about a year for a waterproof cover, then a water repellent after that. the sun will break it down quickly. id recommend a good fabric sealer to spray on it.

That's what I'm using mine for. I couldn't find any other option for a good cover besides this one meant for trailering. Mine has seen a few months outside and still looks like new. It fits really well and is high quality. I've had other covers for my other equipment that didn't last 2 seasons and almost immediately showed sun damage. I'd bet this one will last many seasons based on obvious difference in quality. I've gotten a couple of favorable comments from those that see it. It is expensive and it looks so. I'm also impressed with how well the rain water rolls off the top and come to think of it I don't think there is anywhere for rain water to puddle which is always a challenge with covers That's what I'm using mine for.

It seems some shorter in the front, but covers well. Stays on well. We are using it on waterfront property and it gets very windy. I would definitely buy it again. C.E.S.

I have used this setup quite a bit since I got it last year. Super happy with it. Never had it up in total sun shine and looked out. My first take on this is it might work out for a sun tan, but I doubt it working very well. It is mesh but I have been surprised at how well it blocks wind. Bottom line, Not sure about you getting a sun tan, only way to know for sure is buy it and try it in your location. I have spent considerable amounts of money on many solutions to the problem this product answers. Sure glad I found this product.

Great as a sun screen, not water proof. Made of what seems to be light vweight nylon.. I set one up for a 2 month stay in Florida and had no problem. There are anchor tie loops on the canopy corners but I secured around the corner frame to prevent damage to the top in the event of high winds. To answer your question "how its done" not sure what your are asking.

In my experience, it is way to complicated to set up on a beach. It arrives in several boxes, so you would need a big truck or a trailer. It would be really difficult to put it back together the way it came. On the other hand, if it was for a one off event, it might be perfect. My other concern would be the material. It is not suited to any wind over about 10mph. I bought three of these to use as outdoor shade for people. They barely lasted a week. I wish I had saved up for a better quality one.

I would characterize this face shield as a light duty face shield. I'm not sure it would stand up against much wind. Perhaps light breezes would be okay. I use it in woodworking projects to protect my face against flying chips and dust.

All I can say is that it fits my 5 seater. My boat is sitting in a boat cradle on my dock, we live on a lake in Central Florida. I bought my cover last Summer and basically it sits outside, no roof. With the wind and weather we have had we had to use bungee cords to hold it on. Unfortunately a hole ripped in the top and the material tears easily now, almost like it is rotten. So it hasn't held up in outside weather.

Yes it is good for all day sun protection. I was on a boat all day, in the Caribbean, in the sun, and it protects the skin from it. I started to show a farmers tan at the end of the day.

I used this on my boat cover on a seam where it split. It has been on now for a couple months in summer weather (100 degree plus) and so far so good. I cannot speak to the long term hold on this but so far it seems good. Dries a little stiff and does get a little dark over time, but seems to function well.

Unfortunatelly, I don't think it would work. The material is very stretchy and soft and it need some (even small) canopy to rest on, to create a bigger sunshade.
