Protective fabrics designed to fit over the seating surfaces in pontoon boats are specialized products intended to shield these areas from the elements and general wear. These coverings typically encompass the entire bench structure, securing with straps, elastic, or other fastening mechanisms. For instance, a set might consist of multiple pieces, one for each individual bench seat located throughout the deck of a pontoon boat.
Employing coverings provides several advantages, extending the life and maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the pontoon boats seating. Protection against ultraviolet (UV) radiation prevents fading and cracking of the underlying upholstery. Additionally, these shields offer a barrier against moisture, dirt, stains, and physical abrasions, minimizing the need for frequent cleaning and repairs. The implementation of seat protection can be traced to the general need for protecting marine upholstery from the harsh marine environment.
