This revolutionary boat tarp takes boat protection to a whole new level. With its superior quality and unique features, Toptex Boat Cover is the perfect choice for boat owners who want to give their boat the best protection during winter. 3 years warranty included.
One of the biggest innovations of this boat cover is its breathability. It allows air to pass through and thus prevents moisture from accumulating under the fabric, eliminating the risk of mold formation and protecting the boat from moisture damage. Some water will penetrate, and then evaporate again thanks to the breathable properties. This keeps your boat dry and protected in all weather conditions.
The ventilation also means that the canvas stays quiet and calm and does not rustle in the wind. This means it won’t blow apart like a traditional tarpaulin tends to do.
Toptex Boat Cover has a significantly lower weight than traditional tarpaulins. The grey Toptex Boat Cover weighs 160 grams per square metre. A canvas of 10 x 14 metres (140 square metres) weighs about 22 kilos. A traditional heavy PVC tarpaulin of the same size weighs around 70 – 80 kilos. This large difference in weight makes Toptex Boat Cover more manageable and easy to install.
Toptex Boat Cover is made from 100% recyclable polypropylene, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional boat covers. PVC covers often contain harmful chemicals such as vinyl chloride and phthalates, which can have a negative impact on people, animals and the environment. By choosing Toptex Boat Cover, you are contributing to a more sustainable future for you, your boat and the environment.
To ensure effective water drainage, it is important that the fabric is properly stretched and has a slope of at least 45 degrees. For good stretching and anchoring, we recommend using Velcro (Velcro or double-sided Velcro) to anchor or hang weights.
There are several different ways to fix your boat tarpaulin. As mentioned, it is important that the canvas is always stretched and has a slope of at least 45° to allow water to drain away better. Since the cloth has a fuzzy surface, you can advantageously attach Velcro directly to the cloth without damaging it or the Velcro. You can use this to, for example: Create loops that you then hang weights in to let the canvas hang freely. This is the ultimate if you want to be able to get under the boat and eg. Bottom paint, without having to remove the tarpaulin.
You can also fold the cloth under the boat and attach directly with Velcro or tie rubber bands or other ropes to the Velcro to attach under the boat or in eg. a trailer. Scroll a little further down to see illustrations of how you can proceed.
A standard fleece cover is very different from a Toptex Boat Cover. Fleece covers are often made from uncontrolled fibre yarns, which provide less UV protection and a shorter lifespan. They also tend to bind water, which can lead to moisture and mould damage. Toptex, on the other hand, uses a structured manufacture with endless fibre threads that provide both strength and ventilation, extending the life of the tarpaulin and providing more reliable protection for your boat.
What is the difference between this tarpaulin and a traditional one?
There are several differences:
| Toptex Boat Cover | Traditional tarpaulin |
| Breathable | Non-ventilating |
| Allows moisture & water to evaporate | Traps moisture & water |
| Low wind catch | High wind catch |
| Quiet and calm in windy weather | Rustles and blows easily |
| Lightweight & super strong | Often heavy and unwieldy, or lightweight with lousy quality |
| Recyclable | Cannot be recycled |
What is the difference between this tarp and a bale cover?
There are several differences. Toptex cloths are of much higher quality when it comes to abrasion resistance, UV resistance and durability. It doesn’t crumble, and if there are holes in the canvas, it won’t get any bigger. Toptex Boat Cover is further developed to suit the boating life, counteract moisture and mold damage and last for years.
A bale covering cloth of another brand quickly shows mould and moisture damage and begins to crumble after just a few months. If there is a hole, it will quickly become larger, unlike a Toptex cloth, which has a virtually non-existent damage spread. A bale covering cloth is not recommended for boating.

How does it cope with strong autumn and winter winds?
The cloth has been tested on several boats during the autumn and winter season with several storm winds, where the results have been consistently incredible. The tarpaulins were basically untouched. This is thanks to the very durable construction, and its breathable function.
How does it cope with snow?
As long as the canvas is at an angle of at least 45 degrees, both snow and water slide off. The steeper the angle, the better. Should any snow stick to the canvas, it will drain off when the snow melts.
How do you anchor this boat tarpaulin?
There are several different ways to anchor. But regardless, you will need a cover stand of some kind to create a slope on the canvas of at least 45 degrees. This is to get an efficient drainage of water.
To anchor, we recommend using Velcro, which you advantageously attach directly to the fuzzy surface of the canvas. The Velcro can be used to fasten the cloth under the boat, or to create loops with. Either to hang weights in, or to attach ropes to which you tie under the boat. Scroll a little further down to see illustrations and instructional videos.
Is the boat tarpaulin waterproof?
Some water will penetrate the fabric, only to evaporate again thanks to its breathable properties. This keeps your boat dry and protected in all weather conditions. Unlike a traditional tarpaulin that traps moisture and water because it cannot breathe in the same way.
How does it work if you have a mast, targa booth, antenna or other protruding from the boat?
No problem at all! The canvas is excellent to cut / splice to adapt to your particular boat. Then seal with the help of Velcro. Here you can see how we spliced the canvas of a sailboat with a targa bow.
What is a 3 year warranty?
We guarantee continued functionality for at least 3 years, even if the cover is exposed to UV light 365 days a year. Thus, if you only use the cloth during the winter months, you can more than double the service life. Please note that if the cover develops holes due to sharp edges or similar causes, this is not covered by the functionality guarantee as it does not constitute a product defect.
One way to fix the cloth is by hanging sandbags or other weights with the help of Velcro.
Another way to fix the canvas is by folding the cloth under the boat and fixing with the help of Velcro.
Another way to fix the canvas is to make loops out of the Velcro and then attach rubber lines (we recommend 10m or 15m) or other lines under the boat.
