CoverSeal Aims to Protect Work Trucks from Wind, Wildfires and… Rats
CoverSeal offers roofing professionals a re-engineered vehicle cover for crews who store trucks outdoors.

A work truck covered with the CoverSeal vehicle cover, designed to protect against wind, wildfire ash, and pests when parked outdoors.
If your roofing company stores work trucks or vans outdoors, you are familiar with the risks: anything from strong winds or ashes from wildfire nearby but also a more common threat: mice or rats.
Those challenges led to the development of CoverSeal, a re-engineered vehicle cover that promises to give roofing professionals peace of mind when leaving their trucks outside.
The cover uses higher performance technical fabrics and a 360-degree weighted bottom that helps prevent it from blowing off in strong winds while keeping rodents out.
“The last thing anyone needs when getting ready to leave for a job in the morning is to discover their truck or van won’t start because a mouse or rat chewed wiring”, is the scenario that CoverSeal promises that professionals won’t have to deal with.
Technological features
- 360-Degree Weighted Bottom. Instead of using straps, bungees, or tie-downs, CoverSeal uses a continuous tube filled with sand around the entire bottom edge of the cover. This design helps keep the cover in place in winds up to 40 mph.
- Ground-level seal. It creates a barrier that blocks rodents, snakes, spiders and other pests.
- Durable fabric construction. Made from 420D polyester with ripstop and a water-repellent coating that resists tearing and repels water. It is also intentionally not fully airtight to prevent water and moisture from pooling.
- Heat and fire-resistant protection. CoverSeal was lab tested to withstand ash up to 300F and will not ignite.
- UV protection. Reflects up to 90% of sunlight helping protects paint, windows, tires, and interior components.
- Designed for one-person deployment.
- CoverSeal vehicle covers are available in a variety of sizes to fit passenger cars to long bed pickup trucks.
- Car covers weigh between 32-45 pounds and truck covers weigh between 48-60 pounds, depending on size.
