Fender Flares

Fender flares are easy to mount, golf cart hardware that provides the cart with extra protection. When people are planning to travel off-road with their golf carts, fender flares are a great way to keep the mud, dirt and branches off the golf cart. If they get muddy after a long day hunting in the fields, they can be hosed down with water.

Not only do fender flares provide protection, but they also give the golf carts a custom look. They come in either black, gold or silver, hard plastic that can easily complement the rest of the golf cart.

To truly ensure the best protection, purchase a camouflage golf cart enclosure. These enclosures are an effective way to receive durable shelter from the rain, the wind and cold. The heavy duty vinyl enclosures fit around the entire cart and also has several different panels that can be rolled up or down.

Summary

When hunting season begins, it is time to start packing up the camouflage and transforming your golf cart into a glorified hunting buggy. A golf cart does not need to be the seasonal vehicle which is stored away during the colder months. With the appropriate preparation and accessories, it can be used year round.
