Replacement Cover Worksheet

We realize there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to covers, so we ask that you fill out the form below as completely and accurately as you can. With good measurements we can make a cover to fit any brand hoop building. The length and width of your actual cover and not the building are the most critical measurements. We appreciate your help with this.

After you submit your completed form, you should have a written quote for your new cover within a day or two. If you have questions about this form, please give us a call at 888-497-1088.

    About Your Cover

    Where are your cover tie down ratchets?



    Measure at the bottom of the building frame, outside to outside, both of your building's directions.

    Measure from the bottom of the pipe pocket, up and over to the bottom of the pipe pocket on the other side.

    We realize sometimes you just don't have a cover to measure. In that case, provide your measurement from rafter foot, up and over, to rafter foot.

    If the building is large, you may have to throw a rope over and mark and measure the rope.

    How did you measure for your cover?*

    Cover drop is for Outside Ratchet buildings only and ONLY if you didn't give us pocket to pocket measurements. How far down your wall do you want your cover to drop? It is the distance between the top of your stem wall and the bottom of your pipe pocket. 8" is typical.

    Both styles of buildings MAY have a flap of fabric below the pipe pocket on the sides. We call this a ground flap, measure it if it exists. Typical is 18".


    Measure the distance between your rafters from center to center. If this measurement differs in your building, we'll need to know that too.

    Hoop barn with no cover installed

    Measure the cover overhang on both ends. They should be the same. If they are not, give us the average or tell us why.

    Your Fabric Cover Choices

    We have many cover material choices here at the Hoop Barn including fire resistant. Ask us for guidance if needed.

    Our Standard - 15 Year cover is 12.5 ounce double woven 24 mil thick material designed to be rip proof. Both sides of the fabric have a 2.5 mil polyethylene coating for improved abrasion resistance and wearability. The outside receives yet another top coat for UV resistance that also defeats mold and mildew. This is a good cover choice for many buildings.

    The Elite - 20 year cover has a better yet top coating than our standard fabric. This improves the UV resistance as well as making the cover smoother and more slippery. This is a great advantage in heavy snow areas as the snow slides right off. For a very few dollars more, you get a better performing, longer lasting cover.

    We also offer various fire resistant fabrics, keder panels and other options. If one of these is selected we will try to contact you personally to assist you.



    Please call or email us for assistance.


    Elite Cover/Trim Colors

    The lighter the color, the longer it lasts. We recommend white. This cover has not been available long enough for us to field test totally but we believe in the technology.

    Colors available in 20 year HDPE fabric



    Standard Cover/Trim Colors

    We offer a few more colors in our Standard 15 year line but we still recommend white.

    End-to-end (Lateral) Tensioning

    This is how your cover attaches to your outside rafters. We're sold on PVC pipe and ratchets for ease of installation and maintenance. We DO NOT offer grommets and rope, the best we can do is D-rings and webbing. You'll need to give us the spacing for those.

    We use 30" for ratchet spacing for normal conditions. D-rings and lacing are typically at 24"


    Replacement Hardware













    Your replacement hoop building cover will arrive on a truck, looking somewhat like this one. If you would like to pick up your new cover, let us know and we will try to accommodate you at the plant nearest your location.
