Post by: Heatseeker on January 08, 2008, 12:21:39 PM: My junk is in the garage these days.

But when I did have it outdoors during rainy season, I built a frame under the tarp out of PVC pipe and fittings. PVC is readily available and cheap. I never had any puddling issues this way. Snap the frame together and bungee the tarp down nice and tight and the inside of the boat always remained dry.
