In reply to Dr. Donald L. Kordosky. I'm glad you like the idea. I must say that the most snow I've seen on mine at one time is a good foot, as shown in the pictures in the article. And I do clean the snow off it between storms. Adding extra trusses and using a good quality tarp will certainly help with heavier snow loads too. Raising the ridge pole higher can help as well. Good luck and let us know how it works.

Thank you. I live in far Eastern Oregon (Hell’s Canyon Wilderness) and we experience a tremendous amount of snow (In fact, getting more this weekend!). Have been looking for a way to get my boat out of the garage, and this is the ticket. My plans will be somewhat different (I have a dozen or so steel trusses already) but seeing yours hold at least two foot of snow was encouraging. I will probably use five trusses on a 15.5 ft. boat. Thanks.

Hello! This post couldn’t be written any better! Reading through this post reminds me of my good old room mate! He always kept chatting about this. I will forward this page to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Kate Hansen. It works very well for me and I was hoping this would help others. You will want some sort of support under the tarp or it will end up full of water/snow.

I loved how you mentioned that tarps can protect it from UV light damage! Since the weather is getting colder, my husband and I are wanting to find a way to cover our boat and to keep it safe since we won’t use it to go on the water for a while. We’ll have to look into getting a tarp to cover our boat!
