I am surprised that FR would sell canvas covers. Most covers, tents, etc, today are made of synthetic fabrics due to the weight of canvas and the fact that it becomes moldy or mildewed so easily.

I bought one form FR due to the fact it is made from canvas. It will not tear unless you make a real mistake putting it on. We did put it on this year in 5 minutes with one person on each side.

Three years ago our factory cover was tan, now it is gray on the outside and still tan on the inside. I had it on and the 40+ mph wind that we had yesterday removed for me and was nice enough to leave it on the ground next to The POD (sorry no pictures of that moment). Used the JD POD mover to take it out next to the barn and put the straps on the front and the back to hold it in place. Should have put the straps on when I first put the cover on. Goose

I Put my factory cover on the Pod today with a heavy heart, winterized, covered and setting in the winter parking spot. Ohh come on spring.

Just put our new cover (the one from Classic Accessories, ordered from Amazon) on the Froggie Pod. She's snug as a bug in a rug! Easy as pie! 2013 177--fits perfectly! BTW, our 177 had the hot water heater bypass kit already installed. See y'all in the Spring! Come to West Virginia--it's Wild & Wonderful!

Poor man's? I could build one heck of a man cave with what I paid for the pod! Although I couldn't take it with me on vacation... |

We have the Factory Pod cover in tan. going into its 3rd season shortly. no complaints. it is heavy and there is a trick to putting it on by yourself but I have a routine now and can put it on and tie it down in about 15 minutes. I like the heavy zippers on it. I also wander out there during the winter and open the zipper, flip on the electric heater and pop some corn in the microwave and watch some t.v. its kind of like a poor mans "Man Cave"
