Why You Should Cover Your Golf Cart With a Cover

Aside from providing you increased comfort and increasing your ability to play a few rounds if there's light rain (and no thunder, of course), golf cart enclosures and covers are a great way to avoid excessive dust buildup and keep pests out. They're particularly fitting for golf carts that have to be stored outside.

Enclosures

1. Help limit exposure to the elements. The main benefit of enclosures, is that they will provide some relief for the rider from dust, dirt, rain and wind.
2. Prevent pests. It cannot prevent certain critters from finding a way in, but a fully enclosed golf cart is more difficult for pests, such as spiders and bees to invade.

Covers

1. Help limit exposure to the elements. Covers provide a layer of shielding between your cart and these elements when your cart is not in use. Wind can blow dust, dirt, and debris against your gear, causing weathering and scuffing. Covers help limit water accumulation directly on the product, especially when the cover has water resistant or waterproof qualities. This can help prevent rust and corrosion. Standing water and moisture can lead to mildewing*
   1. *Mildew (and mold) are fungi  that occur due to the interaction between water and organic material. Covers are only able to help limit this and require some cleaning and ventilation, so that organic elements that have made their way onto your gear don't have a chance to grow.
2. Provide protection from UV rays. Direct exposure to UV rays can cause fading and material deterioration. Covers, especially those with UV treatments, can block some of the light that does the most damage, increasing the longevity of your product at its current exposure level. This can be one way that golf cart seat covers are especially useful.
3. Prevent pests. Covers can make it more difficult for insects to find their way into the golf cart in the off season, as well as other unwanted rodents that would seek to nest in the equipment.
4. Reduce cleaning time. By protecting your gear with a cover, you will not have to spend as much time cleaning your outdoor equipment at any given time of the year due to reduced exposure to dirt, dust, and pollen. Pollen can increase the rate of deterioration for a golf carts and their seating, so a cover can help prolong the lifespan of your cart given its current exposure levels.
5. Aesthetics. Full coverage golf cart covers provide a tidy, and pleasing look to your yard, taking the noisy shapes within a golf cart and reducing it down to a single form. Golf cart seat covers can clean up a well-worn seat, or protect it from particular environmental elements (salt and sand at a beach, for example).
