Bruce's Canopy Cover - 13 years - it's been good

Post by A2022 »

I’ve found that spraying the cover with Scotchgard every 3 to 4 years keeps it in great condition. Does anyone else have a regular maintenance schedule they swear by, or is there a better product you’d recommend?

Only used on trips and never extended time outdoors.

I was very happy with my Bruce cover for a couple of years parking under the elements. They sent me a solution I sprayed over and it was water repellant again. Didn't last long. Then UV did the job on the cover it started falling apart. In my opinion Bruce covers are good for 3 (not 4) years parking outside. I switched to a Canadian made it lasted 5 years. Bought the second one from the same company again. The only cover with three straps good for windy places.
