      Still going strong. Cover is starting to get thin, may have to replace it this winter.

    I would not glue the pvc together. Instead number each joint. That way you can break it down for easier storage.

      I did think of that but I didn’t want it to fall apart over the winter. Most of the joints fit tightly but not all.

      How do you number a joint?

      I got it from Walmart. Not sure on the brand. It’s held up well for 2 years aside from where I accidentally hit it with a weed eater and put a small hole in it.

    Nice job, looks like it would work well, where did you get that trap from (with the pull down strap holders)

    • @drewdoestrucks
      @drewdoestrucks  2 роки тому +1

      Walmart. It was $39 I believe. Held up fine over its first winter. Time will tell if it lasts longer.

    It's pretty cool but would have been a lot easier to shrink wrap it

    • @drewdoestrucks
      @drewdoestrucks  Рік тому +1

      Easier, not really. You still need a frame work, and I’ve used this for three seasons and can easily lift it off to take the boat out and then put it back on. It’s sitting on the boat now keeping leaves out, even though I plan on taking it out again next weekend. Also would cost hundreds to get the boat wrapped a single time. Once you cut it off, it’s done.

      It came out really good it looks good I work in the marina over 15 years to a boat gear bolt is not small you don't have to frame it all you have to do is tie the strings Crossing to the front to the back they make them really tight your boat is not necessary if you know how to shrink wrap around you don't have to frame it out there's nothing to frame you just take it to buy for and you nailed to the floor I said in Yugoslavia shrink wrap off and receive it if it's your own boat what are you doing costume for boats that's different would it cost for the PCV does shrink wrap cheaper for the length of your boat I still think it's quicker to shrink wrap it probably less than 40 minutes by myself and keep to shrink wrap and wrap it up and save it for the following year
