Hi everyone,
Just after some advice. Got a model c rower in the garage. Just after a good cover for the rower and matt for putting the rower on.
Garage isn't the warmest in winter, little concerned about dampness
Any advice/help would be appreciated
Thanks
Steve

You don't say where in the world you're located.

If you're worried about dampness in the garage I'd definitely invest in a dehumidifer. I bought one late last year and the garage has been great since. I hadn't realised concept do a cover - I just use a bed sheet no longer in use!!

I would spring for a cover if my rower were in my garage...real dusty. I don't think I would need a mat. Don't care if sweat, oil or grease get on the garage floor.

Sorry live in the uk

Had a look and both cover and matt are sold out on concept site

The matt is available. The cover is back-ordered until 08/06/2020.

Thanks for the info. Cover is a little pricey. Any other options?

I think you're overthinking this. Find a big beach towel or an old sheet for a cover, buy a yoga mat for your mat. I've been storing my model B in the garage for close to 30 years with this arrangement and it is fine.

Nasty old tarps are so outre! Bed linens make very economical dust covers. Save enuf for the hire of an upstairs maid to put on and take off.

Jack, you have a delightful way of spinning your words. Outre? Upstairs maid? Haven't heard these since high school English lit.

In my experience, the cover is for when the rower is kept outside - it's plastic, doesn't breathe. I used the cover for rain & snow when I had to keep my rower in the garden - works very well, and the only thing to watch is how humidity gets to/into the feet, different on model C or D... Indoors, I would just use a piece of fabric - plenty of choices for this
