My task seemed easy, but it wasn't. My wife and I live in the woozy rain of Seattle, Washington, where a hole anywhere will be filled quickly by the common torrents of rain. Which is why us Northwesteners need all the assistance we can get when it comes to keeping our belongings dry. And I have many belongings that need protecting: a truck, a go-cart, and a lawn mower. To take care of them I purchased specially designed tarp custom canvas covers to keep the water out, so my cool toys can last longer.

These canvasses do a fine job at keeping stuff in good shape, and they are more pliable than an awning. For shame all those toys can't be placed underneath my patio area. You'll even find built-in fasteners to ensure maximum durability.

The rain could go on but at least I have some affordable protection.
