Last year I constructed a support that went high over the boat to get a steep roof. It had a straight ridge pole that stood up high with a tarp over it. This was to get the snow to slide off easily. It was a pain to put up, but I was determined to keep the snow from bashing my curved glass windshield. Then we had a non winter.
Part of my support stuff has broken and I have done some searching for more ideas.
One guy did a youtube with a center rib of 1.3/4" or 2" PVC and 3/4" side curved ribs. This looks easier to set up than the cluster I did last year. I'm a DIY guy, I just don't usually want workmen around my boat doing a shrinkwrap job. It already has enough marks on it, and I know they will make more.
So here's the question. I believe curved top shelters shed snow better. That's true right? If I were to do the curved top I'd probably do a rib every couple of feet? 3 feet? 4?
I'm going to look into those shelters in a box things too.
