We wouldn’t recommend a woven cover for this application. While you can receive some protection with a woven coated product for a short amount of time, the amount of rain, air and sun protection is very limited. As the material is applied to the pile, the physical stresses put on the cover “fracture/crack” the very thin coating of polyethylene quite easily. Once this coating has been damaged rain/snow/air and sunlight can get to your pile directly.
