See full version: Outdoor Storage Boat Covers rowing boat covers for protection outdoors (or at regattas)
The covers are made of a laminated hi-tech fabric that is breathable, enabling moisture trapped under the cover, whether from condensation from temperature change or from usage, to evaporate. In addition, while red fabrics will fade in the sun over time, the cover will continue to protect your boat from UV rays, which harms not only the sleek appearance of your shell but degrades the integrity of the hull material.

The cover is easy to roll on and off, has five velcro fastenings to hold it in place, and a long closeable skeg opening to accomodate a variety of fin locations.

Our outdoor rowing boat covers are designed to protect your boat from the vagaries of weather, rotting leaves (very acid!), bird droppings, and most importantly the sun, merciless all year but particularly in the summer when our boats are most likely stored outside. Whether your boathouse is overcrowded, or it is just more convenient to be right where you row, this storage cover will protect, while being easy to use. We also like them for protection at regattas where all day full sun exposure is likely, and incredibly detrimental to both the beauty and the longevity of your hull.

If you’re considering storing your boat outside in a dry location, you might be thinking about letting it stay on your property. The advantage is that this option is free and allows you to keep a close eye on your watercraft throughout the year. However, if you do this, you’ll need to winterize your boat first. Then also consider whether you have the extra space—and whether your HOA will allow you to store your boat at home. Just keep in mind that your boat won’t have much protection against pests, thieves, vandals and inclement weather, though you can buy a cover to mitigate these risks. [links]
If you don’t have room for your boat at home but want to keep it outside, consider an outdoor boat storage facility. Each parking spot is usually covered with a small roof so it offers some protection against the elements, but not as much as if your boat were stored indoors. As a result, it may be an affordable option for boat storage when you don’t have room on your property. [links]
Weigh these pros and cons as you think about the best indoor boat storage option, and then think about the reasons you might want to store your boat outside instead. [links]
So what’s the downside of indoor boat storage at home? Well, there isn’t one if you have the space to spare. But many people don’t, so they have to look into other indoor boat storage options, such as a dry stacked storage warehouse or a self-storage facility. Either way, your boat will have the same type of protection as if you stored it in a garage at home. However, you won’t have constant access to your boat, since you’ll have to adhere to the hours of the indoor storage facility. And of course, you’ll have to pay a monthly fee for boat storage. here
Your boat loves being outside on the water, so you might wonder why you can’t let it stay outdoors even when you’re not using it. It turns out you can, but you should only make this choice after looking at the pros and cons—and then you’ll need to decide if you should store it in a wet or dry location. [links]

How do I reserve my storage unit on SelfStorage.com?
I dread this time of year, not just because the trout fishing where I live is slowly coming to a close, but because storing my boat for the winter is a bit of a chore. I own a 13-foot inflatable raft with a fishing frame, and storing a boat like this properly can make all the difference in its lifespan. It just takes a few (although tedious) hours to get it ready for winter storage. Here are a few tips I’ve learned over the years that seem to make a real difference.
2) Keeping your boat outside on a trailer fully covered with a UV tarp is arguably the easiest solution, but consider bringing your frame inside. Frame pipe that has water trapped in it will burst once it freezes. more
4) If you store your boat where there is the possibility of damage by mice or other rodents, rolling up your boat and standing it in a large plastic garbage can will provide better protection than simply wrapping it in a tarp.
Next, examine your cover. Are there any tears or holes? Again, a high-quality cover should be able to handle wear well, but now is the best time to search for damage — before you need the cover again. Allow the cover to dry thoroughly, then place it in its storage bag or duffel.
First, uncover the boat and check for any dents, leaks, or other damage. A good storage location and cover should have protected your boat from these problems, but it’s smart to search for any issues. You’ll want to get those taken care of right away so they don’t become worse.
Once you’ve prepared the inside of the boat for winter storage, you’re ready to tackle the outside. Begin by dislodging plants, mussels, barnacles, and other material. more
Be sure to remove all electronics from the boat, for protection against thieves as well as protection against the elements. Electronics are tempting, and thieves know how to quickly unmount and steal them.
A quality cover will fit your boat snugly and will expand and contract slightly to prevent temperature changes from creating rips. When applying the cover, be sure the cover is tight, but not too tight — or it may rip. [links]
With minds full of memories and a boat strewn with floats, fishing gear, and other fun baubles, you and your family have had a great summer. But now it’s time to start preparing your pontoon boat for winter, so you’ll be ready for next season.
