Boat Cover Suggestions

[Locke N Load]

Are you looking for something temporary that can be taken on and off easily or something semi-permanent that can be set up and the boat worked on underneath?

I started with one of those regular duty blue tarps and it lasted six months. Then I got serious and built my 28x16 boat shed out of 2x4's and covered it with shrinkwrap. The wrap has been very durable for close to three years now. A branch blown out of a tree will penetrate, but a quick patch of the shrinkwrap tape and it is good as new. The tape does not come off.

Yeah I saw that. I have plans for a boat port but it’s pretty pricey here. I have to work where it is for now but I have a fully permitted 30x100 structure to build in backyard. It was a permitted building (greenhouse) I can build anything on that footprint no permits required.

So I will build a workshop and boat port there… rather than build something to tear down and build again. In the meanwhile I need a cover to keep sun and rain off
