sled cover???

[cubanice27]

I looked in the archives about this question and didnt get a clear answer.

I wanted to get a  sled cover, however im worried that I might have to much stuff in my sled. Will the sled cover fit over a "reasonable" amount of stuff (like my buckets standing up etc.? I know if I pack it up high like dang mountain it wont stretch, but  I mean I have a typical "hill" but worried with the bucket and all that the sled cover wont stretch over it. Any tips, ideas, experience, etc.?

Otter covers are plenty tall to do what you are talking about. what sled are we talking about?

If it's a Jet Sled (Full size Shappell) and you buy the Shappell cover then YES, it is designed to fit over 5 gallon pails. In fact, I just went to my basement and put a 5 gallon bucket IN a 5 gallon bucket IN a 5 gallon bucket (3 stacked inside each other) and have enough room to put another 3 stack next to it and still get the cover on (if that gives you an idea). Cover is a must if you are using a sled or a wheeler.

i have the jetsled 1. I would get that cover then im assuming. This way it would get rid of the bungee cords correct?

 I also own a Shapell Jetsled1, and the cover has elastic that's sewn in the hem.  You'll like the cover, just not the price.  Almost cost what the sled cost, but I think it's put together pretty well, so I'm hoping it'll last me a while.

Just make one. I made mine, it was very easy. I picked up a nylon tent fly at Wally World for $15 or so, bought a few long bungie cords and sewed it up.



Works great.

RG is a very handy guy ., what I did was build a rack out of 1x2 , went full length , with 2 pieces  then 2 cross members good for three buckets and a little room in the front besides , and your auger sits I top of the pails , held into place by bungee cords , I and a few old flat fish guys been doing this for a very long time , simple and very easy ,

Actually it is an old Singer. I've had it for years. I'm not afraid to sew up something I want. It's really easy.
