If you are experiencing oxidation and color loss to your boat due to sun exposure these inexpensive sun shade panels for your dock are the perfect answer.  

Our manual sun shades by Coolaroo come in a variety of colors (white, black, heritage green, gray, wheat, sand), breathe with the wind up to 50 mph, provide 90-94% UV a/b protection, come with a 10 year fabric guarantee, allow you to see out but others not to see in, and are custom tailored and installed on your dock for $210 per a maximum of a 15' feet panel secured at the top and post-to-post.

 

Is it right for you? Take a few seconds to do the simple math. In years multiply the age of your boat by 8760 (the number of hours in a year). Then divide the result by the number of hours on your boat. If you don't have an hour meter don't be shy about overestimating. That gives you the percentage of oxidation your boat is experiencing while you're actually boating.

 

So, if you have a 3 year old boat with 200 hours on it, that means that 200/26280, or .76% of that chalkiness came from having fun, while 99.24% of the fading came from your boat sitting on its cradle on the dock under a roof and minding its own business!

 

Keep in mind, you only need shading where exposure is a problem. If sun is your main worry and you're not concerned about the benefits of privacy and preventing windblown debris that full enclosure provides, get protection only where you want.

 

SMile Boat Care customizes and installs sun shades in the Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia, area. Nationwide we work closely with dock owners in design, sizing, and shade construction for shipment for local installation.

 

Protect your valuable investment, but don't go overboard on cost.
