I dont own a pond so dont know what the material is like.
Dont fancy using vinal like everybody else then!!
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

tried it myself, one of the main problem is the heat, when hot its really supple when cold its brittle. Plus it hardens with age. I would use vinly
leather cloth
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

If you want something other than leather cloth maybe try wetsuit neoprene.
A word of warning if looking on eBay, neoprene rubber isnt what you want (I made that costly mistake, ooops!).

Get some nylon tent style material off ebay, very cheap and easy to stitch on a normal sewing machine, folds up very small and 100% water proof.

I'm loving that last 1. How is it fastened down.
? Was sat looking at my car last night thinking about something very much along those lines but the fixing was giving me a headache.
built a car, built a home, had a family. lost the family, lost the home, still got the car.
