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
Horseshoe Pit Covers — Frequently Asked Questions
What do AKON Horseshoe Pit Covers protect against?
They shield pits from rain, UV, leaves, pets, and debris so your sand or clay stays game-ready and clean between uses.
Which material should I choose—12oz or 18oz vinyl?
12oz vinyl is great for typical weather and patio/backyard use. Choose 18oz vinyl for harsher exposure, heavy winds, frequent storms, or public parks with high wear.
How do I measure my pit for a custom fit?
Measure the length and width of the boxed pit (inside to inside), plus the height you want the skirt to drop. Enter exact inches; we add minimal slack to all sides (not on height) for a neat fit.
Can the cover go on with the stakes installed?
Yes. Request rod/stake slits or a reinforced grommeted opening. Tell us the stake diameter and location so we position and reinforce the opening correctly.
Will water pool on top of the cover?
The slick vinyl sheds water. For best drainage, select tie-downs to tension the cover or request corner bungees so rain runs off and doesn’t pond.
What tie-down and anchoring options are available?
Common options include grommets for bungee/rope, webbing straps with side-release buckles, or shock cord hem. We’ll place hardware to match your frame.
Are the covers truly waterproof and UV resistant?
Yes. Coated vinyl is 100% waterproof with UV-stable pigments. Welded/double hems and reinforced corners add durability for outdoor seasons.
Will the cover trap moisture in the sand or clay?
If breathability is a concern, request vent eyelets or a short skirt to allow airflow while still blocking rain and debris.
Do you offer color choices?
Yes—black, brown, blue, white, tan, red, navy, yellow, olive green, and gray are standard. Ask if you need a custom color to match facility branding.
How durable is the 18oz vinyl?
It’s transport-tarp grade with excellent abrasion and tear resistance—ideal for public facilities, league play venues, and windy sites.
What’s the lead time and warranty?
Typical lead time is 10–12 work days after order review/approval. Vinyl covers carry up to a 5-year warranty when used as intended.
How do I clean and maintain the cover?
Wipe with mild soap and water. Avoid bleach, harsh solvents, and abrasive pads. Store clean and dry when not in season to maximize service life.
Can I add labels or team logos?
Yes. We can add printed text (e.g., “HOME” / “FIELD 1”) or simple logos. Upload artwork and we’ll provide a proof prior to fabrication.
What if my pit has an irregular shape or raised edging?
Upload photos or a sketch. We can pattern around edging, ramps, or unique frames and add cut-outs, flaps, or extra drop where needed.
Do the covers stay on in strong winds?
With the correct tie-downs and snug fit, yes. For very windy areas, choose the 18oz material and request additional perimeter grommets or corner straps.
