I had them reinforce the corners with heavy vinyl material. We take the covers on and off for stage recitals, so the result was a fairly heavy cover and they were not the best for us. The patches of vinyl also made the replacement of the covers easier because the keyboard end was very apparent. Saved much time just twirling the cover around to get the right fit. The fact that you can leave the covers on helps in the respect. Our work with the tent company was very successful and would encourage you to pursue that idea. Let us know what happens. Helps us all to know about new solutions. Joel -- Joel A.
