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.
Common Questions
Custom Welder Covers – Frequently Asked Questions
What equipment are Custom Welder Covers designed for?
They are built to fit shop and jobsite welders (MIG, TIG, stick), engine-driven/generator welders, wire feeders, and welder carts. Each cover is made to your dimensions for a clean, tailored fit.
Are these covers safe to use around welding?
Use covers only when the welder is powered down and fully cooled. Our vinyl and polyester covers are not fireproof and should not be used while welding, near sparks, or on hot surfaces.
Which materials are available?
12oz vinyl (medium duty), 18oz vinyl (heavy duty), 600D polyester (light duty), and 200D polyester (light duty). Vinyl is waterproof and ideal outdoors; polyester is lighter and best indoors or in mild conditions.
12oz vs 18oz vinyl—what’s the difference?
12oz vinyl offers great weather protection at a lower cost. 18oz vinyl is thicker and tougher for heavy handling, long sun exposure, or severe rain and wind—our most durable option.
Are the covers waterproof and UV resistant?
Vinyl covers are fully waterproof and resist UV cracking and fading. Polyester covers are water-resistant and best for indoor or covered storage.
How do I measure my welder for a custom cover?
Measure width (Side A), depth (Side B), and height (Side C) in inches. Include leads, handles, reels, gas cylinder brackets, or carts if you want them covered. We add slack on all sides except height.
Can I add access features for leads, valves, or controls?
Yes. Options include cover splits, zipper/flap doors, hose/lead pass-throughs, and tie-backs so you can access panels or disconnect leads without removing the cover.
Do you offer tie-downs for windy areas or transport?
Absolutely. Add webbing straps, grommets, or buckle tie-downs to secure the cover against wind lift or when moving equipment around a facility (trailering with cover on is not recommended).
Are the covers easy to clean after shop use?
Yes. Wipe vinyl with mild soap and water; rinse and air dry. Polyester can be spot-cleaned with gentle detergent. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasives that could damage seams.
Will the cover trap moisture or fumes?
Covers are for storage protection only. Allow hot components to cool before covering and ensure cylinders are closed. For ventilation, request screened flaps or mesh windows as a custom option.
What color options are available?
Standard colors include Black, Brown, Blue, White, Tan, Red, Navy Blue, Yellow, Olive Green, and Gray (availability may vary by material).
What is the lead time and shipping policy?
Most custom welder covers ship in 10–12 working days after order confirmation. Shipping is free on orders over $150.
What warranty do the covers include?
Vinyl covers include a 5-year warranty. 600D/200D polyester covers include a 3-year warranty—covering materials and workmanship under normal use.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing is based on overall dimensions, chosen material (12oz/18oz vinyl or polyester), and add-ons such as splits, zippers, tie-downs, windows, or printed labeling.
Do you offer bulk discounts or help with complex builds?
Yes. We provide quantity discounts for shops and fleets, and can review photos/CAD to design multi-piece or cart-integrated solutions. Click “Custom Quote” or call for tailored pricing.
