The height of the paracord ridgeline determines the angle of the roof and the footprint of the shelter. here
This is a good model for desert survival because it provides proper ventilation and adequate coverage from the elements such as the sun. here
To create this type of shelter, you will need four anchoring points to which you will tie the paracord. This is a shelter parallel to the ground and it’s designed to provide 100 square feet of shade against the sun.
The downside of the A-frame shelter is that there is no floor and if you haven’t stretchered the paracord tight enough, there will be sagging in the middle.
This shelter is suitable for two persons and it’s easy to make. You will need to secure the paracord to a tree and the ground and drape over the tarp at a diagonal. The length of the paracord and the angle with which it is tied to a tree will determine the overall headroom and width of the shelter. The steep walls will shed rain and will deflect wind if they are well staked. This model will require drip lines, just like the cornet shelter. here

Storage locations vary, usually depending upon the size of the boat involved. Trailerable boats often are pulled home to spend the winter in the owner’s backyard or garage. The reason is cost: It's free to keep your boat on your own property. [links]
Dry Rack— Most dry-rack buildings are capable of storing boats up to 26 feet. However, there are some huge forklift trucks available that can lift boats more than 30 feet long. The limiting factor is height. here
Boats stored outdoors for the winter are traditionally covered to protect them against weathering and vandalism. There are a variety of popular covering methods, and each has its advantages.
Boat Lift— See above. It is possible to purchase lifts for boats 30 feet and longer. [links]
Boat Lift— Boat owners lucky enough to have waterfront property often install equipment to pull their boats out of the water between trips. Boat-lift designs range from small derricks to what amount to floating dry docks. here
Canvas and Frame— The traditional method is to build a supporting frame over the boat using wood. Scrap carpet padding protects a canvas tarp that has been cut and sewn to the shape of the boat. This method is time consuming the first time, as all of the wood support pieces must be fitted individually. Once built, the pieces are numbered for disassembly and re-assembly in subsequent years. A heavy cotton-duck canvas is still the best covering for a boat because it “breathes,” allowing excess moisture (the cause of mildew) to escape. A well-made cover can give 10 or more seasons of protection. [links]
