Ok you cover your mower why?
You have a cove kinda like a tarp go out and take the cover off and I bet the mower is wet with condensation.
When you cut your grass the deck gets wet from the water in the grass do you do anything to dry the deck when your done or just cover it so it will stay wet.
It's like you drive your car in the rain the snow and when the sun is out but then put it in the garage so it don't get wet.
I blow my mower off after every yard but I leave them on the trailer in the rain or sun

One of my first mower customers was a commercial user who was tired of washing bird crap off his mower seats. Not everyone uses a cover, obviously, if they did, I'd be rich and my secretary would be responding to these forums. I provide a service that some people use, some don't. One critic used your analogy to the moisture on a BBQ forum, saying it would hurt the metal..umm... aren't most BBQ's almost all aluminum or stainless steel? :wink:
To each his own, and if I can provide a service to some consumers, it's a good day for me.

Sorry was not trying to put down your cover.
I do cover my grill. Why? I guess because it came with the grill.
I have looked at your cover on here and I think it's a very good product.
Again sorry if I made it sound like I was putting your cover down.

No offense taken. I appreciate your frank comments (and your nice comments on my covers). One thing I've found on these forums, there are lots of differing views, and one thing discussion does do is generate some interest in my products; all publicity is good publicity (to a point, lol).
Someone might read our posts, but not like to cover their mower, but check my website out of curiosity and say Wow! I could use one of those plywood pouches. You never know where your next sale will come from.
Take care.

I keep mine in a medium sized shed.....
After a lengthy two-month long "discussion" with my building department I scrapped my plans to build a two-story 24 X 30" addition to my shop/garage. I ended up buying a temporary soft sided shed from Menards called a 'shed in a box'. It has a coated tubular steel frame and a reinforced tarp-like cover. I covered the ground with Visqueen and then a tarp to prevent excess moisture coming up. It came with screw-in anchors but I fastened a concrete block to each of the six legs. I'm in Ohio's snow belt and I was concerned about the weight of a heavy, wet snow storm so I used three pieces of 1 1/2" PVC pipe as poles down the center. Last winter I had no problems with it. I can easily drive my X300 in and out and it stays dry. My wife and I set it up in a few hours and I am more than happy with it. My modifications were free; I used what was on-hand. One day. Under $200. Not ugly. Legal. Just what I needed.

I have a shed that started as a "shed-in-a-box" ... when the material finally fell apart from the uv, I bought enough corrugated roofing to cover the top and sides, using the old framework made for a quick and sturdy shed. I do not have to worry about the "snow" load in texas. It seems to be holding up very well.
