cabinet covers

Postby John M » Tue Aug 24, 2010 5:03 pm

Does anyone know of a source for carpet style cabinet covering.
Im planning to make a case for a Q2 and graphic equaliser (2 or 3 U ) to keep the wiring tidy and permanent and im trying to get this type of covering for it.
I think Maplins used to do it but I dont see anything in their current catalogue.
I tried B & Q as well but no joy.
I believe it had a sticky back, rather than having to use glue.
If "carpet" is not available perhaps a heavy duty vinyl cover would work just as well.
Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
However, after costing it out... wood, screws, covering ( plus post @£5.00 ), handles, corners, glue, (cut fingers, time and mess!!!)
Its actually cheaper to buy one ready made... bearing in mind that materials bought will not all be used... so a fair bit of waste.
Maplins are doing a 4 u case for £39.
Nuff said.

Hi John,
I have a 4-unit Gator rack case that I don't use. It's in great condition & has rarely been out of the house.
