I understand what you are saying, but trust me in that you'll be saving yourself a ton of heartaches. The other problem with Towerkote is that it will not stay tight after you apply it. Every time you take it out in the sun it's going to sag and get loose. It's very frustrating to have to come home and re-tighten covering after every trip to the field. The extra money for Ultracoat or Monokote is really money well spent
