Replacement Covers in Canada

[ssmtim]

The cover on my Beachcomber is coming apart at the centre seams.  It really looks great with the "Red Green" duct tape look but I think that I should replace it.
I am disappointed with the quality of the original as supplied by Beachcomber- poorly fitted and failing after less than 3 years - so I would like to try to get a better quality cover and save some money on the replacement.
Any suggestions? We live in Canada so I am hoping for a Canadian source or a vendor that will handle the importing.  I know that Doc sells a great cover but we would have to have it shipped to a warehouse in the States.  We live on the border so it can be done but door-to-door service is easier.
Does anybody know anything about this firm?  They have a great website but I would like to know about any experience with the product.

I am told over and over ( and over) again that Arctic has 'THE' best cover in the market....... and the're in your neck of the woods  
I would guess as long as the size is the same it would fit?

you said it's coming apart at the center seam. Are you using a cover lift? If you are, you might consider purchasing a cover saver to help keep that seam from being damaged. I believe I saw them on Doc's site.

I agree about the cover saver.  This cover is finished though but I think that I will get one for the replacement.

Thanks

Baechcimber had some serious cover issues a few years ago,Have you asked a Beachcomber dealer for help, maybe they can get a good will warranty for you.  Beachcomber has improved their cover from what I have heard.

Do cover lifters damage covers?  :-/ Abrasions from the bar?

[Dr. Spa™ Ret.]

Most covers aren't designed to be hung by their hinge and every cover warranty I ever seen has an exclusion for damage caused by cover lifters.

I would think the only abrasion would be a dark mark from where the bar sits...that's MUCH more acceptable to me than, say, blowing out the center seam...at least with the saver, it's just cosmetic, right? Just my $.02, and I'd like a receipt for that, please....I want to file with my taxes next year!

Tim, what province/city are you in?

HST makes a good cover. Lots of places are dealers for HST, including my store in Whitby Ontario. If you live outside Ontario, it be harder to find a HST dealer and also more expensive.

HST is also the brand sold by the cover guy.

I live in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.  

Does this mean that "The Cover Guy" 's cover are worth considering.? Sault Ste. Marie is pretty small with only three dealers.  Any help with a source would be welcomed.  I have sent an email to Arctic about whether they make covers for other tubs but no reply yet.

Does anyone know of an Ontario source for "The Cover Saver"?  I will order from Doc if necessary but would like to avoid the hassle of importing.  We are on the border but there is still are warehousing charges, bridge tolls, etc.

Please PM me if you wish.

Thanks again.
