If you've spent any time on the water, you know that the elements are relentless. This is why protecting your boat's accessories with a Sunbrella Burgee Flag Cover is crucial. Between the constant UV exposure and the salt spray like in the Puget Sound, your boat's accessories take a beating. That's why at Williams Quality Covers, we don't just make covers; we build protection with the Sunbrella Burgee Flag Cover.
The Craftsmanship
In this edition of Behind the Seams, we're looking at our Custom Burgee & Flag Covers. While a flag is a small detail, it's a point of pride for many captains. We use master craftsmanship techniques learned at Boat Canvas University to ensure a precision fit that won't flap or fray in the wind. The Sunbrella Burgee Flag Cover excels in providing that precision fit.
Why Sunbrella® Matters: We exclusively use high-performance fabrics like Sunbrella or Top Notch 9 because they are:
- UV Resistant: They won't fade or break down after a season in the sun.
- Breathable: Prevents moisture buildup that can lead to mildew on your flag.
- Built for the Water: Designed specifically to handle our unique, damp climate.
How to Measure for Your Sunbrella Burgee Flag Cover
Getting a perfect fit for your Burgee & Flag Covers is easier than you might think. To ensure your cover provides maximum protection without fluttering in the wind, follow these three simple steps:
- Measure the Length: Run your tape measure along the top edge of the flag from the hoist (the side attached to the pole) to the furthest tip.
- Measure the Height: Measure the vertical edge of the flag where it attaches to the halyard or pole.
- Add a Little "Ease": We generally recommend adding about a half-inch to these dimensions so the cover slides on and off easily even when the fabric is damp.
By providing accurate measurements, you help us create a Burgee Flag Cover that looks sharp and stays secure.
