HOW TO COVER A BOAT WITH A TARP
Step 1: Be sure you get the correct size for your boat. Not sure how to measure? Read our Boat Cover Measuring Guide >
Step 2: Cover any sharp edges with pieces of carpet or rags to prevent rips and tears in the tarp. Also consider any antennas and bungee poles that might pierce the tarp.
Step 3: Spread the tarp evenly over the top of your boat, then use fastening straps to secure the tarp, attaching the straps to the metal grommets on the tarp. You can also use rope or bungees.
Step 4: Prop up low spots on the tarp to prevent sagging, water pooling and mildew. The best thing to use for this is a Telescoping Boat Cover Ventilation Kit but some people use spare pieces of timber or PVC pipes.
