Do-It-Yourself Shrink Wrap Sailboat Shelter | Boat Shed | 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.

Well done, cheaper than building a new structure. Money well spent.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

👍I think we’ll get a little use out of it

[@kenthobbs9920]

@@motorcityboatwerks I think so, just have to wait for warmer weather.

[@kenthobbs9920]

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.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

This could work

Great job Joe............

[@motorcityboatwerks]

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.

Thanks for the comment. It could be a spectacular part2 for the DIY Shrink Wrap Shed 🤓

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!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Exactly! Thanks Joe👍😁

[@HayesHaugen]

Love it...but sometimes you are shouting at me like Matt Foley! 🤣

[@motorcityboatwerks]

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 ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3_HoKeOh9mpnZYsi=xbfVPgUe2gfdrq7c

[@davetowz]

Great Idea for the framework.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks Dave. This one worked out pretty well 😁

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.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Plenty of air flow. So condensation is not a problem. Thanks for your comment 🐙
