Patio chair carry bags

I want to be able to carry our patio chairs on our ladder but do not want them to get wet. We bought some bags for them from Camping world then later found out that they were dry rotted or just poorly put together. Camping World would not stand behind them. I wonder if we could make some water tight bags from vinyl table cloths to keep the weather from getting them wet while driving down the road...
  • Home Depot Contractor bags I used these when moving items that need to be dry when using an open bed pick up. They are thick enough to hold up and can be reused multiple times. They are also cheap enough that you can carry extras for emergency. There are some 55 & 84 gallon sizes also available if you want bigger.
  • I have four of those and they were bought when we had our first TT and that was a new '95 Wilderness. They have actually outlasted several chairs. In fact, I believe we got one of them and carried it on top of our first Pop-up.

    At some home improvement stores you can get some fairly thick vinyl sheets,, This is what I'd use,, The thicker the better (though not floor runner thickness).

    Much better than the table cloth stuff.

    Another option is scotch guarded Denim,, Yup, Give 'em a set of Blue Jeans. I have actually used that myself.
  • We use bar b q grill covers, Different sizes and thickness and cheap at the end of the season, Also use these for our bikes.
  • Do a search online, Amazon or such for "waterproof cargo bag"

    Here's one on AMAZON

    Depending on the size of your chairs I would think something like this would work. Maybe even stuff other things in it besides the chairs.
  • For stuff I put in the truck bed that I don't want to get wet I use vinyl canoe "dry bags" left over from our primitive camping days. They're available in various sizes, my medium bag easily holds 2 pair of snowshoes and poles.
    A cheaper way may be to just wrap them in the vinyl tablecloth or a plastic tarp.
