The Golden Rules

Core guidelines to maintain the integrity and longevity of your covers and products.

  1. Use the product correctly

    Ensure the cover or product is the correct size and intended for the item being used. Do not overload bags or force covers to fit.

  2. Prevent damage from sharp objects and strain

    Avoid sharp edges, heavy objects, or excessive pulling and stretching, as these may weaken or damage the material.

  3. Protect against moisture and weather exposure

    Prevent water from pooling, avoid long-term trapped moisture, and minimise prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight or extreme weather.

  4. Keep clean and store properly

    Clean regularly using mild cleaning methods only, and ensure the product is fully dry before packing away.

Cover Care Instructions

Follow these guidelines to ensure your covers longevity and remain in optimal condition for years to come.

Water & Moisture

  • Arrange covers so that water runs off freely and does not collect in folds, gathers, or wrinkles, especially over sewn seams.
  • Items susceptible to moisture damage should not remain covered for extended periods, as condensation or mildew may occur.

Sun & UV Exposure

  • Covers will naturally fade and weaken over time when exposed to prolonged sunlight or high temperatures.
  • Although materials are UV stabilised, harsh weather conditions may reduce product lifespan.

Cleaning

  • Brush regularly with a soft-bristled brush to keep clean.
  • Clean with clear cold water. For localised stains, use a neutral detergent mixed with lukewarm water (max 40°C), then rinse thoroughly.
  • Covers may also be wiped clean with soap and water.
  • Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.

Storage & Safety

  • Keep solvents, insecticides, petrol, and similar fluids away from the product.
  • Ensure the product is completely dry before packing away.

Cover Safety

Important safety precautions to follow when using and storing your covers and accessories.

Never do this

  • No sharp objects inside

    Do not place items with sharp edges inside the product.

  • No heavy or sharp objects on top

    Do not place heavy or sharp objects on top of covers as it may cause damage or deformation.

Take care

  • Secure in windy conditions

    Secure tie straps once the cover is fitted to prevent displacement during windy conditions.

  • Allow complete cooling

    Covers for braais or similar items must only be fitted once the item has completely cooled to normal day temperatures.

  • Do not exceed weight limits

    Do not overload camping, braai, or accessory bags beyond the stated weight limit.

Good to know

  • Confirm dimensions before use

    Avoid stretching or pulling fabric to force a cover to fit. Confirm dimensions are suitable before use.
