Weatherford Carports › Services › Boat Carports
Weatherford Carports gets boat owners in Weatherford and Parker County a call back from a local carport installer. Request a free quote and talk through length, height and placement. With Lake Weatherford close by and Eagle Mountain Lake and Possum Kingdom within a drive, plenty of local driveways have a bass boat or pontoon parked on them.
Sun breaks down vinyl seats, gelcoat and covers. Hail can crack a windshield or dent a console. A boat cover is a simple way to stretch the life of an expensive hull.
Size for the boat plus the trailer
Measure overall length from the tip of the trailer tongue to the outboard motor in its tilted position. Width needs to clear the widest point of the hull or the trailer fenders. For height, include the windshield, a T-top, a wake tower or a Bimini frame. Fold-down parts help, but plan for the configuration you will actually park in.
If the boat lives on the trailer behind a truck, leave space to unhitch without leaving the tongue in the rain.
Keep water from pooling on the boat
A boat cover should drain away from the boat. A vertical roof sends water off the sides rather than down a ribbed panel to the open end. Point the low side away from where you walk. If the cover sits next to a shop or house, check where gutters and roof runoff go so the ground under the trailer does not turn soft.
Adding a gable or end wall on the windward side stops rain from blowing straight in.
Driving in and out
Backing a boat into a narrow cover takes practice. A straight run, good lighting and a little extra width help a lot. Many owners pick a spot where they can pull through or swing wide. If you also own a camper, a longer RV carport can hold both, and a carport with storage adds a place for life jackets and gear.
Frequently asked questions
Can I store a boat and a car under one cover?
