Done correctly, a tarp over a properly constructed frame works as well
as shrink wrap. Cheaper and greener too.

Well, I just looked at the price of the gun - $650. Maybe I'll hold off for a while.

I ordered the Navigloo Shelter from Costco when it was $50.00 off....
that is, I paid $289.00 + tax... shipping was free.

It's still in the carton waiting for my dealer to do the winterization on my new boat next week.

Just think of it as a educational opportunity.

Be careful with that big propane torch.

The directions I read said to keep a fire extinguisher very handy!

The price of the propane gun, $650, threw me. I suppose my wife's hair dryer wouldn't work too well.
I was thinking the stuff was like the wing covering I used to use on model airplanes. It's a bit
thicker!

I never have, John. I store mine inside. But if you decide to DIY
then good luck to you. You might also look on youtube, somebody's
probably posted a vid on 'how to'
