Title: Rain Cover for portable machine
Post by: feldon on January 13, 2014, 07:29:21 pm: What with all the rain we are having at the moment i was wondering what others use to protect their portable from the rain if like me you prefer to leave it outside customers home. When possible i will leave on van in these circumstances but not always feasible. I have the Airflex Storm so not really ideal to take into home unless it is a big house. I currently use a small plastic tarp and weight it down but even then if it is windy it can blow off, any suggestions?

I was looking for a cover seen a website called Kover-it who make waterproof covers for machines
haven't got round to calling them yet.

The elasticated bottom does the job nicely :)

Don't think it would fit as the jags shape is long and thin also no holes in it for hoses or filling so useless on a wet windy normal day in the west of Scotland.

Any pictures and how much did they charge
