Will Shrink Wrap Protect my Boat from Snow Load Damage?
Yes, professionally applied shrink wrap is a durable, weather-resistant solution designed to protect your vessel from the harsh Ontario winter. Our team uses a secure, well-ventilated frame with a tight fit that helps heavy snow shed and moisture drain away, reducing the risk of cover collapse or windshield damage.
While shrink wrapping is a cost-effective barrier against snow, ice, and UV exposure, we also provide indoor storage at our secure facility north of Milton for those seeking the highest level of protection. Choosing between these options depends on your specific needs:
- Shrink-Wrapping: A professionally applied wrap shields the hull from rain and snow while remaining a flexible, on-site option. We ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture from being trapped against the hull.
- Indoor Heated Storage: This is the ultimate deterrent against winter damage, keeping your boat completely isolated from snow loads and freeze-thaw cycles that can stress gelcoats and seals.
We provide safe and efficient transportation for vessels up to 50 feet using our state-of-the-art Conolift hydraulic trailer. Whether you prefer on-site wrapping at the marina or off-site indoor storage, we can bundle these services with winterization and engine work to ensure your boat is ready for spring.
