Almost done. Here we install it on the Indian Summer. The sewing is all complete but I have to figure out how I want to fasten it. Bungee cords and random bits of string are good, but not quick and easy to explain to other people.
The options seem to be: metal toggles, plastic buckles, velcro, or some as yet undiscovered fastener. Metal toggles are traditional but hard to put on (they need a special tool). Plastic buckles would be easiest for me to put on, but I worry that they wouldn’t last. Paul is pushing for velcro, but I find that velcro wears out pretty quickly.
I may wind up with a combination.
