Going on a rowing boat trip. With a tarp/fly sheet this set up could allow camping/sleeping on the boat instead of in a tent. Thanks for the idea.

I really enjoyed your natural environment, Showing that you’re just the average person trying to do something to help someone else. That is fantastic!! For the not so wonderful comments, I’m sorry you got those. I do agree that the PVC may warp and harsh sun conditions. I do agree that there should be a back bone. I learned from another video that if you used a slightly larger four-way in the center of each of your arches you can make a back bone very easily. I am not talking from experience because I too was looking at your video to do something for my dad’s very old Mirro craft boat that was easily disassembled each season and didn’t take up too much room after disassembly. Thank you and Wonder girl for some great ideas. Oh the other thing they had done was just make a v shape that sat on some of the interior surfaces that did not need to be cut. Brainstorming is how things get done and improvement are made. GREAT VIDEO!!!

Yeah I've gotten used to some comments. Ha it has become normal. Yeah they did warp some after some time in the texas sun. I took some rope and tied it to each pole and attached a carbiner at each end and pulled it tight and it created a backbone and worked just fine. Thanks Christine I appreciate it

This might work if you finish it. Those PVC's wont stay just wedged in like that! I'd like to see him pull a tarp over those without every one of them popping off, they arent even secured to the boat. I did something similar with my boat but my PVC's are connected horizontally and the ends of the PVC's are fixed to the boat, too lengthy to describe it here. If you're gonna document your project for youtube dont stop when its just partially done!

Tie a ridge line down the center. Anchor it to the bow and stern. With a sewing machine and snap buttons(running along the boat rail), you can turn that tarp into a tent. Or front half boat tent For boat camping!.
@TBassFactory2 жыл бұрын
That’s an awesome idea. I actually ended up taking rope and tie to each pole at the top and then pulling tight on front and back with caribiners. I like your tarp idea.
@mo-reesespieces90662 жыл бұрын
I love that idea. Are any diagonal supports needed for wind or anything to keep it from collapsing or shifting or will the ridge line you noted do that? I was thinking of a sun shade or rain shade over the area to operate the motor. And tent, boat camping. Peace, Mo

@donpatterson49733 жыл бұрын
To make a removable side rail use 2 t's glued together in a cross using a 1 inch piece of pvc to connect the t's the outer T will use smaller pvc rods to connect between the arches. now where the arches need to be connected cut out part of the pvc so that it will snap over the arch. this way you can collapse to a smaller size for storage when not in use. looking good so far.

Yeah, they sure do over time. I noticed that they hold their form if you tie them all together and put a carrabiner on each end of the boat and pull it tight. Your probably right about being better in a colder climate.

I was waiting for the hilarity to start when you put the cover on. I bet every one those PVC ribs fell over, and even if you did manage to get the cover on, it would likely collapse in the first wind or snow storm. You a need longitudinal support (spine).
@TBassFactory2 жыл бұрын
Yeah it worked fine the first time I put the tarp on as I pulled it over the boat sideways, but after some texas sun it started to warp the pvc some and I attached a rope to each one and carabiner at each end, pulled it tight and it made a backbone and stayed like that for a couple months until some 100mph winds decided to come through.

@stevendefiori52623 жыл бұрын
It looks like one could come free and hit you in the mouth it is a start of a good inexpensive idea. To add to it... what you can do is harden the pvc arces. Make a template and bend the pvc into it, pour boiling water into the pvc
@TBassFactory3 жыл бұрын
Thats a good idea. I have used a heat gun to bend or form pvc in the past you just have to be careful of the fumes. I definitely had to watch out when I first bent them and put them into place.
