Sunbrella ...not cheap, but good stuff. Many biminis and boat tops are made
of it. It's rated for year 'round exposure. I believe you can buy the
material by the yard in various widths and then make your own. It's what
I'm going to use on my boat ( http://www.glacierboats.com ) ...not for a
winter tarp, but for the cover that I'll get done for the aft half of the
boat (a camper back).

I should say right off...I've tried poly and canvas duck.

I'd prefer to not buy a tarp but rather the material and make it.

The purpose of the tarp is to cover boat and trailer for winter storage
outdoors in a northern marine environment.

Given that, what would be suitable material considering cost, durability,
and protection of stored boat and trailer ?

Vendor recommendations would also be appreciated.

Thank you for suggestions,

Courtney
