Canopies and Camping and Hunting

My dad is an avid hunter. He’ll stay out in the wilderness for a whole month looking for that perfect buck, turkey, bear, deer and just about anything that walks around the forest. I was telling him about how strong our canopies were the other day and he mentioned how he’d really like one for when he went hunting. Since he’s out hunting for extended periods of time, he has a camping site that he returns to each evening. At the camping site the RV, tent and other kitchen camping gear on the picnic table. A lot of times the tarps and posts that he’ll buy at the local sporting good stores aren’t sturdy enough to hold in the weather for a month or two at a time, so he’s looking for something stronger and that is sturdier. Our tarps are strong! Stronger then any of the tarps you’ll buy at a sporting goods store. They’ve been known to hold up for ten (plus) years and have plenty of life left in them. The galvanized poles are strong too. They won’t rust and they’ll hold up in the weather and not bend when it’s windy or hard rain. The best part is that they’re easy to put up. Really easy!

Why not make a 10×20 temporary structure at a camping/hunting site? It’ll certainly keep the kitchen area dry. It’ll be a large covered space for dining, eating and cleaning up your “catch” of the day. The whole group that you’re with could stay under a really nice dry area for meals and cards after a good day of hunting.

These temporary coverings are really versatile. It’s not something that will be just an investment to protect your RV’s and boats, but it’ll also be great for camping just with the family for a weekend or hunting for a month. With that said, he put in an order for a 20 x 20 tarp with the 9 fittings it will take to erect. He will pick up the Galvanized pipe at Home Depot

Not just a temporary carport, a HUGE storage area.

Not just a temporary carport, a HUGE storage area.

Last weekend, I began putting a canopy together for a customer. It was a custom canopy and a huge storage area for the customer’s boat and RV and any additional vehicles or equipment he may have. (you can see the finished product on the homepage)

The customer had contacted me a few weeks ago telling me what he wanted to store and what his purpose was for the shelter. I went out there a few days later to look at his property and see how I could help him. As we began talking, he said that he pays $200+ a month for storing his boat down in the marina and his RV gets a lot of weather on it ie pine needles, branches, dirt etc. He has a lot of cleaning come spring and a lot of money put into the storage of his boat. With a canopy large enough to store his boat, his RV and some extra equipment, the canopy could pay for itself in less than a year. On top of that he has direct access to it in his back yard! He smiled at the thought and said, “Go for it!”

So, like I said, last weekend, I put it up. The structure looks great outside and it’ll provide ample shade from the sun, shelter from the elements and his boat and RV will remain on his property for easier access when he’s ready to go out and take a trip.

Our canopies may be a temporary structure, but it’s strong, sturdy and ready to brave the Northwest elements and protect all of your recreational investments and equipment.
