Cable reels and drums are expensive. Left outside without any protection, they take a beating — UV damage weakens the outer casing, rain gets into the drum core, and grime builds up around connectors and windings. A simple, well-made cable reel cover can prevent all of that.
At Curtains and Covers UK, we make custom cable reel covers sized exactly to your drums. Whether you’re storing one reel or a yard full of them, we have a solution.
Most cable reels live outside — on construction sites, at utility depots, in storage yards. They’re designed to be tough, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need protection. Here’s what uncovered reels face:
A cable drum cover adds a layer between your equipment and all of the above.
Our cable reel covers are made from heavy-duty PVC-coated polyester or PVC tarpaulin — both fully waterproof and UV-treated. We produce:
We include securing straps or eyelets depending on how you’re storing the reel. Wind can lift a loose cover off a reel quickly — we make sure yours stays put.
Cable reels come in a wide range of sizes, from small 400mm diameter reels to large industrial drums over 2 metres across. We don’t stock standard sizes — we make each cover to the dimensions you give us. Send us the drum diameter, height, and flange width, and we’ll do the rest.
We supply cable reel covers to:

The process is simple. Give us your reel dimensions, confirm the material, and we’ll produce your covers. Delivery across the UK and Europe, typically within 5 to 7 working days.
