Hello everyone! Things are going great up here in Maine! I have a question. I am duplicating a pontoon boat cover and they bound in webbing around the perimeter and installed their snaps through that. What webbing would you suggest using for this application? I have only been using one inch nylon webbing, mostly for bimini straps, etc. Thanks for your help! Russell.
I don't use webbing - typically I use a self-facing of whatever canvas the cover is. But, if I were going to, it would be polyester (NOT polypropylene). TriVantage sells a 1" polyester webbing. As I recall, it only comes in white or black.

There's a lot around here with 1" poly webbing. Don't use nylon, it most likely wouldn't last a couple of seasons at best.
I use polywebbing dont use nulon i did. Once and it shrunk somthing bad
Did you see the link i found for you eith thoose backrest support bars from great lakes skipper ?
Yes Mike, I did get that link. Thanks for helping me out with that. We've been so busy though, that I haven't been able to work on my own boat projects! I hate it when that happens! :P
I think we're going to forget the webbing and do what we usually do instead. We usually make hems or facings and turn them. That seems to be a pretty good way to do it although I have no doubt that it's faster binding the webbing in instead.
I bought a pair of thoose supprts aldo pegasus i want to make a backrest for my leaning post. Havnt done it yet maybe this weekend.
I use poly webbing from tri vantage also. usually 2 in on a cockpit cover. Wont shrink and makes it real easy going on when binding the edge. Ditch the nylon for marine , no webbing , thread , it will rot fast !!
