All You Need to Know About Golf Cart Enclosures
Greetings Everyone!
As we are aware, seasons change quickly here in Southern Indiana. Getting outside and enjoying the weather while it lasts is something, we all need to do. For golf cart enthusiasts, extending our riding season is of the utmost importance! Golf carts can be expensive and extending the amount of times we can used them increase the value we get from our vehicles! If you’re a golfer, a camper, a neighborhood rider or using your vehicle for work, riding in the cold weather is NOT enjoyable! Fortunately, we have options!
An enclosure for your golf cart can extend your riding season by weeks or even months! Enclosures have been around for years. Many of us remember the old canvas covers that came in one style and one color! They would last maybe a season and then would have to be replaced. They served their purpose and knocked off the chill, but they were not the answer to extending your riding season! Just like everything in life, enclosures have changed!
Enclosures come in a variety of different shapes, styles, colors, and fabrics. At Carts Gone Wild we have three main types of enclosures to meet the needs of our customers. Each has different options and styles. All come in differing price points depending on what customers want.
OVER-THE-TOP ENCLOSURES:
The old reliable over the top (OTT) options is still available! Today’s enclosure is similar in design but come in a VARIETY of different colors and fabrics! These covers are constructed from marine grade vinyl or Sunbrella fabric and include marine grade zippers. These covers will last nearly twice as long as past covers and are the most cost-effective enclosure we offer. Most OTT covers are four sided and have a removable front for golf carts that have windshields installed. These covers are stored in a bag and fold down and can be stored in a small area. They are perfect for light use or for inclement weather during the summer. OTT covers do not provide the tightest fit, as they attach to the bottom of the cart via hooks to the frame. OTT enclosures can be ordered in different lengths to fit 2, 4, 6, & 8 passenger carts. These covers are not designed for everyday use, but more for the casual rider who may get caught in the rain or cold occasionally.
TRACK ENCLOSURES:
Track style enclosures are designed for heavier use golf cart enthusiast who is looking to stay warm and out of the elements without the hassle of getting the enclosure out and putting it on the cart EVERY TIME its needed. Track-style enclosures are specifically designed to fit each golf cart perfectly! Each enclosure is cut to fit the make, model and type of back seat of the customers cart.
Track enclosures have tracks that mount directly to the roof of your golf cart. Track enclosures usually include two side curtains, a rear curtain, and a valance. When these covers are not in use, they simply roll up and are enclosed at the top of the vehicle. Track enclosures come in a variety of Sunbrella fabrics and marine grade vinyl options. Multiple color options for the enclosure and valance can add some additional spice to your cart! Track enclosures provide a tighter seal to your cart and are normally attached with snaps. These enclosures are more expensive and last longer than the OTT enclosures. The customer who is looking for a classier option, and willing to spend a few extra dollars, the track enclosure will fit your needs!
DOOR ENCLOSURES
The ULTIMATE in enclosure! Anyone who is spending hours in their cart during the late fall, winter, or early spring, the Door Max enclosure is the answer. This type enclosure is created with a system that is mounted directly to your cart. Options are available in 2, 4, 6, & 8 passenger vehicles. This design is perfect for golfers, Universities, Businesses, Government Agencies, or any group that is using their cart year-round! The hinged doors are easily removable when they are not needed, and simply slide back on when they are! Door enclosures are created for most model carts and are available in a variety of colors.
