Do-It-Yourself Shrink Wrap Sailboat Shelter | Sailboat Restoration (Ep61)
This episode I'm building a giant shrink wrap sailboat shelter 10x30x14 feet tall. This is a boat project I think anyone can do. Whether you need a RV shelter, temporary garage, or a sailboat restoration shed, this is a low cost way to build a shelter using shrink wrap plastic.
Welcome to my boat building channel! This is my trawler restoration of an Albin 27 pocket trawler. Every couple of weeks I post a boat building or boat repair video to document various boat projects, sailboat restorations, or boat repairs. And when all else fails, I tell stories of boat motivation.

Thank you Vincent 👍😎
I did this exact same thing about fifteen years ago. Used 1/8th cable,side to side as collar ties plus 2/4s vertical to shore up the ridge pipe.this thing was as sturdy as I could make it and was large enough to park my mom's jeep with my boat. The shelter was also next to a large trucks as is yours in close proximity to your shop. The first snow of the season was 24 inches in 24 hours . Snow piled up between the two putting a severe side load on the boat shelter, plus the roof load causing a catastrophic collapse. The boat suffered some damage to the railings and other small stuff, horn, searchlight,etc. Jeep was a total loss.

Great Idea for the framework.

Thanks Dave. This one worked out pretty well 😁
Well done, cheaper than building a new structure. Money well spent.

The door is going to be a challenge. If you build a wall with a walk through door would be best. Then after work completion take the wall down.

This could work
I couldn't imagine you not covering the sailboat. I had one of my old boats shrink-wrapped for three years while I was on assignment overseas. After we returned, I had a fitted canvas cover made and the payback was after the second winter. Stay warm!

I know it’s shocking when someone speaks confidently, and clearly, and directly to you. We can’t all live in a van down by the river 😂🤣be sure to like and subscribe ! kzread.info/dash/bejne/q4KY0daRgtfcl5c.htmlsi=xbfVPgUe2gfdrq7c
Will the open front stop condensation? I had to add a second layer of poly to stop it raining inside my shed - which had a door.
