Sew it yourself! Enhance the protection of your jerry cans for gas, diesel, and drinking water while ensuring they remain securely fastened on your boat or overland rig with this custom-fitted jerry can cover (makes a total of 4 covers in the kit). Jerry cans can detract from the overall appearance of your vessel due to their contrasting colors; by covering them in matching Sattler® fabric, you can seamlessly integrate them with your boat’s canvas, achieving a refined and cohesive look. In this comprehensive sewing tutorial, Seth from Sailrite will provide step-by-step guidance on constructing a high-quality jerry can cover using durable, weather-resistant marine fabrics such as Sattler. This kit contains all necessary materials to produce up to four jerry can covers.

Each Sailrite Jerry Can Cover Kit includes ample materials to sew up to four jerry can covers. The kit features a computer-plotted, to-scale pattern for consistent and accurate results, allowing for repeated use without guesswork. Adjustable webbing straps with side-release buckles are also provided, enabling secure attachment of up to four jerry cans in both vertical and horizontal orientations. These straps ensure the cans remain firmly in place, even under demanding conditions. The jerry can cover is equipped with quick-release snaps, facilitating convenient filling or pouring without the need to remove the entire cover.

This Jerry Can cover is precisely designed to fit the Midwest Can - Military Style 5-gallon Jerry Cans: Gas - Model Number 5110 / Diesel - Model Number 8110 / Water - Model Number 9101.

Why Sattler® Fabric?

We’ve chosen Sattler® solution-dyed acrylic for this kit because it represents the pinnacle of textile engineering. Unlike surface-dyed fabrics that fade over time, Sattler’s fibers are saturated with high-quality pigments before they are even spun. This ensures unparalleled colorfastness and a legacy of performance. This breathable, water-repellent fabric prevents moisture buildup while offering exceptional resistance to mold and mildew—essential for long-term gear storage.

What Makes This Kit Special?

• Precision Patterning: Includes a computer-plotted, to-scale pattern specifically for Midwest Can Military Style 5-gallon cans (Models 5110, 8110, and 9101).

• Integrated Security: Heavy-duty webbing and side-release buckles allow for both vertical and horizontal mounting, reducing shifting during high-vibration travel.

• Streamlined Utility: Integrated quick-release snaps mean you can fill or pour without the frustration of removing the entire cover.
