We live on the coast and the motorcycle enthusiast across the street was the one who turned me on to old sheets. We had some sunbrella cloth left over from a project and my wife made a cover for my 9x20 lathe and a one for my 14" Starrett height gage. Both are rust free after 4yrs in the unheated garage. The sunbrella cloth is nice and stiff almost like a tarp and is water resistant but not water proof. So it breathes and doesn't condensate which I found out the hard way is no good. I also use a shop vac with a homemade cyclone and that's amazing for keeping dust down and for cleaning machinery without clogging the HEPA filter.
