But at the same time, it's still gonna be very strong because if you get a heavy rain or heavy snow up here in the Northeast on the cover itself, you're not gonna have to worry about these frames kinda bowing on you and therefore stretching the fabric itself.Now, maybe one of my favorite aspects with this very budget-friendly cover is the fact that it features that popular tri-fold design. Now, overall, guys, the frame itself, it is aluminum, therefore, it will be very lightweight. In addition to that, it does look like they've done a great job with the stitching and overall construction given the very bottom-dollar price point.As for the skeleton, basically your frame here, well, the Proven Ground option is going to incorporate a strong, aircraft-grade aluminum overall that has been finished off in this black epoxy powder coat, and that's gonna increase the overall durability. Material is also UV-resistant, so, you're not gonna have to worry about this thing fading on you over the years.

Feels very grainy or leather-like in texture, but overall, it's very thick and very durable, so I don't get the impression this thing's gonna rip or tear easily on you over the years. And this thing will utilize a weather-resistant vinyl material. That's gonna be the biggest draw with the Proven Ground option as it is by far and away one of the most affordable currently in the category.Now, with all that being said, let's talk construction here, guys.
