I'm hoping to tap into the collective CBF wisdom, can anyone recommend a good supplier of covers?

We've used Stuart Canvas and Durrant in the past

What do you think the cheapest covers could be done for?

In terms of DIY or through a proper source?

The ECB has a small grant scheme that runs that we applied for to purchase our 2nd set so it only cost the club �1k as the grant covered the other �4.5.

@Ayrtek Cricket what do you think could be done diy? I'm a metalworker during the week so I'm sure that could come in handy

Biggest cost will be PVC covers I'd imagine but actual metalwork might stack up as well depending upon cost of raw materials if you can handle labour/fabrication side of things.

I've seen Apex shaped version before using corigsted metal sheets but they weigh a ton to move which is half of the battle as last thing u need is trying to get 4 people up the ground to move a 3 sets of covers one at a time.

SNAP!!! good covers, had to get them to change the fixed wheels, they were very helpful

The inflatable wheels were rubbish as accessing them to inflate was a nightmare. I ended up swapping them for solid ones in the end and it seems they realised ''tis too as the most recent set we have use the same version.

If I remember correct, all the wheels on the Stuart Canvas covers have Solid tires. Your so right the old inflatable tires were a nightmare, the weight of the covers (especially the old corrugated covers) would push the air out of them, I was forever replacing them

Ours are Stuart Canvas and no issues at all so far.
