Chipper covers??

[capetrees]

Couldn't think of any other forum to post this but

Does anyone know of a company or a website that offers covers for a wood chipper? Mine sits outside most of the time, (until I build a garage!) and figured keeping it dry and out of the sun would be a good thing. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Sounds like a good idea. The paint seems to oxidize fast enough even when they're stored inside. Might try steel haulers coil tarps if you're just looking for something heavy & tough.

Gal in town makes slip covers and I've seen her work when asked to make a cover for a truck mounted welder and boat motor covers. Might ask to see what she thinks.

Just be careful that the tarp doesnt trap moisture or you may accelerate the rusting process.

one of the problems with covering it is the chipper chute. It needs to be covered seperately with a sock like cover which overlaps or attaches to the rest of the cover.

For a decent size chipper your probably going to need a cover in 2 halves as a single cover is going to be very hard work to put on and off and more subseptable to damage. Theres a number of ways of doing it, we had a mix of velcro, domes, eyelets and bungees which held the cover in place. A few hooks and mounts on the chipper and it sat solidly enough to do motorway speeds no prob.

Found this. Might call for an estimate. What could it hurt?

Just use a tarp.
