The difference between Toptex Boat Cover and bale wraps in agriculture

There is a big difference in quality between Toptex and other brands on the market.
Toptex Boat Cover is a superior type of fabric compared to other agricultural fabrics, specially designed for the demanding boating life.
Boat Cover offers higher UV resistance than other agricultural fabrics.
Toptex Boat Cover has 30% higher abrasion resistance than Toptex bale cover, which in turn has 30% higher abrasion resistance than other cloths.
Other brands of cloths quickly show obvious mold and moisture damage.
Boats have sharper edges compared to agricultural bales, which requires more durable materials.
Boat Cover has a special manufacturing process that prevents weathering and prevents damage to the canvas from spreading.

For obvious reasons, there are many questions on the new tarpaulin for boating: Toptex Boat Cover. Many of the thoughts are of exactly the same nature as on the agricultural side, where Toptex bale covering cloth was launched some ten years ago, with the high demands for mold-free and moisture-free that prevail there.

Toptex Boat Cover is a refinement of Toptex Bale Covering Cloth for agriculture. There is a difference between the boat-adapted blue Toptex Boat Cover and the green Toptex Bale Covering Cloth for agriculture. And it is A big difference in quality compared to other brands on the market. It’s not just a matter of colour; Boat Cover was developed to further raise the bar on quality for the demanding boating life.

Below are pictures of brands other than Toptex and the consequences it has had in agriculture. They show extensive mold and moisture infestation, and we doubt that any boat owner would be willing to accept such a result of winter storage for their boat.

Toptex Boat Cover is a further development of Toptex bale covering cloth with even higher UV resistance and an additional 30% higher abrasion resistance than agricultural Toptex (which is already 30% stronger than other brands). If we analyze Boat Cover and other currently existing agricultural fabrics, the following is found:

After a few months in rough weather with moisture, snow and wind, several models of other bale covering fabrics are crumbling and becoming weaker… and weaker. It becomes fairly quickly damage/holes that just get bigger and bigger and then we think of the boats’ slightly sharper edges (unlike the agricultural bales’ soft shapes). Boat Cover is a completely different type of manufacturing with “bonding” to get all the fibers to work together and counteract weathering with damage that spreads. For those who try: make a small hole 10cm from the edge of the Boat Cover, put a finger in and start pulling and tearing as hard as you can, you have now met your match!

Summary

In summary, Toptex Boat Cover offers significantly higher quality and durability than other agricultural fabrics and has been developed specifically for demanding boating . With superior UV resistance and abrasion resistance and a special manufacturing method that prevents weathering and harmful spreading, it is an obvious choice for boat owners looking for reliable protection for their boats.

The picture below shows damage from 7 months of storage of bales with other cloth on the market. Heavy mold damage. Big losses.
