Common Questions
Which material should I choose?
If you are trying to choose between the 18oz and 12oz vinyl materials, please choose based on your environment. For regular weather conditions, 12 oz. vinyl is a great material at a slightly less expensive price. If you are going to experience heavy weather conditions such as heavy snow, heavy rain, and lots of wind, then please choose the 18 oz. vinyl material.
What is the most common material?
The 18 ounce vinyl is used to make 90% of the covers ALCO offers. Even though both materials are equally strong and look the same, the majority of customers pick the thicker material.
Are they easy to clean?
Yes. Contrary to other polyester covers that resemble canvas, vinyl is a material that is extremely slick and is therefore simple to clean. Canvas will capture and hold mold and stains that are difficult to remove, as opposed to the sleek ALCO Vinyl custom furniture covers.
How strong are the covers?
18 oz vinyl is a very strong and long-lasting material, in fact, it is the same material that is used on the semi trailers to cover their cargo! As you can imagine, the abuse the material can endure on the highway is extreme, and if they didn't hold up, the truckers would not use them. That is why 18 oz vinyl is one of the strongest covers that you can purchase.
My cover will be used indoors. Which material is ideal?
The 600D material is the perfect material for indoors or even outdoors if its mostly in the shade and not in harsh conditions.

Water-Resistant Seams
When buying custom industrial fit covers, you want to be sure they will keep your possessions safe, clean, and dry. But did you know that when you sew, the holes the needle creates in the fabric can leave your cover susceptible to leaks? Big box stores don't tell you their covers can leak at these stitching points in heavy rain. So, at the seams, you can get drip marks on your product. That is why ALCO offers water-resistant stitching sealing, which covers the stitching on the inside of the cover so rain and moisture can't get in and damage your furniture.
Our Covers Are Water-Resistant
While our covers use high-grade vinyl to stop water pools from penetrating them. While we can prevent water from getting inside, we cannot guarantee moisture from seeping in from under the covers. To avoid trapped moisture, choose a cover that fits snugly while being slightly shorter than the item you are covering - typically around 5–8 cm shorter - to allow for air circulation and prevent condensation.
Use Vinyl And Not Fabric Covers
The best protection against water is found in vinyl covers, which ALCO specializes in. Vinyl allows water droplets to bead up and slide down the industrial cover before they have time to soak through due to the slick surface. Polyester blends are also common, but their waterproofing treatment can wear off or end up becoming brittle and then cracking. This allows water that sits on the cover to drip through, so the cover stays wet after it rains. The resulting exposure could mean you spend even more on a new cover or replacing or fixing damaged products. Nearly every custom made industrial cover on the market claims it is waterproof, but when put to the test, most people find that “waterproof” means it only stands up to a slight drizzle. When the rain really starts to fall, your products can get soaked. It is important that you pick a material that can withstand heavy rain. Alco offers these high-grade vinyls that holds up to the elements!
Tie Downs
Standard off the shelf industrial covers often are lacking ties to secure them. But what happens when the weather is accompanied by high or gusty winds? With no means of keeping the cover tied down or tightened at the base the cover could blow away. If you are not around at the time your cover could be blow away and the product exposed to the elements. This could result in thousands of dollars in damage and the need to replace the product. For this reason, it’s important to ensure you purchase industrial covers that provide secure ties.

Cover Splits
Some products can be hard to wrap a cover around unless it has a slit to allow you some wiggle room for installation. We offer a Velcro or zipper split, depending on your preference.

A Few Of Our Valued Customers
Often people only take time to complain about a purchase. My cover from akon curtains was perfect, fits like a glove, looks great, and was done ahead of schedule. Would buy again if needed! Thanks guys!

Jack Wagive
Great cover!! Heavy duty and perfect fit. Stitching is very nice and sturdy!! I am very pleased with my purchase. It’s a great value for the quality and price of the cover.
Brian Kilbourne
These custom covers are fantastic. The process was simple, some measurements, sent some pics and chose my color, etc.. These are custom, so they didn't arrive 2 days later, but when they did arrive, fit like a glove and are certainly the best quality cover I have had. More expensive?? Yeah, they were. Worth it?? Definitely. I'm in south Louisiana with tons of sunlight, tons of rain, tons of humidity and these covers are great. I know I will be extending the life of my outdoor furniture by years and I know these covers will last for years.
Scott Fitzbarn
Cover was made to specs i requested with good quality material of my choice. Craftsmanship of my custom cover is excellent.
Briana Cumbers
FINALLY, a cover that is well worth the price! We live in Southern California where the sun can do some damage. I don’t know how many other covers I’ve been through since we’ve had the firepit that just fell apart after a few months. This one is the real deal! Fits perfectly, very durable, you get to pick your color, and it withstands the sun and recent heavy rains!
Mary Wadsworth
We had a custom fire pit created for our pool area and we wanted a cover for the winter months. I sent a few pictures and the measurements and we had a custom cover made. It’s well-made and arrived quickly! We are very pleased and highly recommend akoncurtains!
Michelle Schaaf
Great covers, quick service on custom heavy duty covers. I plan on ordering more for my other outdoor products. Thank you!

Common Questions
Custom General Use Covers – Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom general use covers and what can they protect?
They’re made-to-measure protective covers. Our custom general use covers shield carts, racks, pallets, equipment, and odd shapes from dust, moisture, and UV in warehouses, shops, and outdoor areas. You choose the shape, dimensions, material, and tie-downs, ensuring a clean, professional fit that improves safety, durability, and daily productivity.
How do I measure to get a perfect, snug fit?
Measure exactly. Record width, depth, and height in inches and include protrusions like handles, valves, or casters; we add slack for fit (not on height). For irregular items, include photos or sketches. Accurate dimensions help the cover drape cleanly, reduce wind lift, and prevent abrasion against frames or hardware.
Which material should I choose: 200D, 600D polyester, 12oz vinyl, or 18oz vinyl?
Match to conditions. 200D is light duty for dust and light splash. 600D suits indoor or shaded outdoor areas. 12oz vinyl handles regular weather and frequent use. 18oz vinyl is heavy duty for harsh exposure and rough handling. All options are easy to clean and built for industrial reliability.
Are your general use covers waterproof and weather resistant?
Yes, with options. Vinyl covers (12oz/18oz) are waterproof and highly UV resistant, ideal for outdoor use. Polyester covers (200D/600D) are water resistant for indoor or mild outdoor conditions. Properly secured with grommets or straps, they shed water effectively and keep equipment protected during storage and transport.
Is 18oz vinyl worth it for heavy-duty environments?
Yes, for demanding sites. 18oz vinyl resists tears, abrasion, and extreme weather, staying secure with tie-downs. Reinforced seams and rugged surfaces handle frequent handling, loading, and exposure. Choose it for open yards, coastal areas, or high-traffic operations where long service life and stability are essential.
Is 200D or 600D polyester durable enough for indoor use?
Yes, in the right setting. 200D and 600D polyester protect against dust, incidental drips, and light movement. They’re lighter, easy to handle, and cost-effective. For frequent washdowns, heavy abrasion, or weather extremes, step up to 12oz or 18oz vinyl for maximum durability and simplified cleaning.
Can I add grommets, straps, windows, labels, or cover splits?
Absolutely. You can specify reinforced grommets, adjustable straps, view windows, document pockets, and cover splits for doors or cable routes. These features improve access, reduce wind billow, and support safety labeling or asset IDs. We’ll place reinforcements to avoid stress points and simplify daily workflows.
How do I clean and maintain a custom cover?
It’s simple. Wipe with mild soap and water; the smooth vinyl and coated fabrics release grime quickly. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive pads to protect finishes and welded seams. Routine cleaning prevents buildup, preserves color, and extends service life—keeping your general use cover looking professional longer.
Will covers cause condensation or trap moisture?
No, when fitted and used correctly. Select a snug fit, secure tie-downs, and allow airflow at the base to reduce condensation. Avoid covering hot or wet equipment until cooled and dry. Regular cleaning and periodic airing help prevent mildew and protect sensitive surfaces or electronics beneath the cover.
What lead time should I expect and do you offer free shipping?
They’re quick. Most custom general use covers ship in about 10–12 working days after order confirmation. Standard shipping options are available, with free delivery above qualifying order values. Your cart will display costs and timelines so you can plan staging, installs, and project schedules with confidence.
Do the covers include a warranty and what does it cover?
Yes, they do. Vinyl covers include a robust warranty, and polyester options carry dedicated coverage. Terms support workmanship and material quality, helping protect your investment against defects. Review the product warranty details or contact support to confirm coverage periods for your selected fabric and configuration.
How is pricing calculated for custom general use covers?
Pricing is transparent. Costs depend on dimensions, fabric type (200D, 600D, 12oz, 18oz), and selected features like grommets, straps, windows, or splits. Larger sizes and heavier-duty materials require more reinforcement. You’ll see instant pricing as you configure, with volume discounts for multi-cover or multi-site orders.
Can I upload drawings or photos to help the design process?
Yes, please. Upload sketches, photos, or CAD snapshots to show protrusions, access points, and clearance needs. Visual references let us confirm measurements, choose the right material, and position seams or splits away from stress points. This speeds production and helps your cover fit perfectly the first time.
Do you support large quantities and standardized multi-site rollouts?
Yes, we specialize in them. We align specs, colors, and labeling for consistent results across facilities. You’ll get coordinated lead times, consolidated shipping, and volume pricing—making it easy to deploy standardized general use covers that improve compliance, organization, and asset protection at scale.
How do I request a custom quote or get technical guidance?
It’s easy. Use the quote tool or contact our team with dimensions, material preference, and any special features. We’ll review your application, recommend 200D/600D or 12oz/18oz vinyl, and suggest tie-downs or windows to match your workflow. Clear guidance streamlines ordering and ensures long-lasting protection.
