Can anyone recommend someone around Kansas City? Maybe even some tips if you have done it yourself

I just cut a regular cover to accommodate the tower. Where the cut started on the outside edge I put a strap and a plastic clip, with each end of the strap attached to the perimeter elastic. I cut holes where the tower would penetrate the cover and strait cut the cover from those holes to the perimeter of the cover (to the plastic clips). Along the straight cuts I sewed some velcro.

Note: The term "I sewed" means I found somebody with a license to operate a sewing machine. I just marked up the cover with a sharpie.

I just did it too. I went down to the local Walmart and picked up (in sewing section) a package of iron-on material and a couple yards of canvas fabric, about $15 for both. I cut out 12 inch squares of canvas and of the iron on material. Mark the cover with a sharpie. Once you iron it where the hole will go your cover wont split, fray, rip... Next, I cut out the holes and the rope. At the hardware store i bought some 1/8 S hooks and some cheap small chain. I cut the rope and doubled it over the S hooks and used 2 small zip ties, one S hook at each tower leg. Then cut out every other link (no gaps) on the chain to use to connect onto the S hooks. I attached them the same way, double over the rope and 2 small zip ties. Did it last weekend came out nice and no sewing.

Isaac-
I will take a pic and post by morning.

I also cut some slots for the two rear most tower posts to allow the cover to be on when the tower is tilted. Pics to follow...
