ATV Covers

An ATV cover helps keep your four-wheeler ready for the next fence check, trip to the back pasture or weekend trail ride by limiting exposure to dust, dirt and the elements while it’s parked. Finding the right ATV cover starts with where you store your machine and what you need to keep off it. Inside a barn, shed or garage, an ATV storage cover can help keep airborne dust and loose debris off the seat and controls. For outdoor ATV storage, check the cover’s stated protection against rain, sun and snow, along with any ventilation features that let trapped moisture escape. Water-resistant and waterproof ATV covers offer different levels of rain protection, so read the manufacturer’s descriptions rather than treating those terms as interchangeable. A cover adds a layer of protection between rides, but sheltered parking and routine care still matter, especially if your four-wheeler sits for an extended stretch. Getting the right fit is just as important as choosing protection for your storage spot. Before selecting a four-wheeler cover, measure your ATV’s overall length, width and height, then compare those measurements with the cover manufacturer’s sizing directions. Account for racks, mirrors, cargo boxes and other installed accessories that can change how an ATV cover fits. A cover that’s too tight may leave parts exposed or strain at attachment points, while excess fabric can flap in the wind and collect water in low spots. Check how the cover secures around the machine and follow the fastening instructions to help keep it in place. Let the engine and exhaust cool fully, and make sure the ATV is clean and dry before covering it for storage. If you plan to haul your four-wheeler, verify that the cover is specifically rated for trailering; a standard ATV storage cover may not be intended for highway wind. With fit, storage conditions and care in mind, you can choose an ATV cover that suits your machine and your routine around the property.
