Shrink Wrapping, Boat Shrink Wrap, Winterize, Storage

Maximize your winter storage protection with quality SHRINK WRAP: Do it right this fall,
minimize your winter damage and save on spring maintenance and prep for summer use. Free Estimate 801-367-0668
Your boat can with stand heavy snow loads


Benefits of shrink-wrapping your Boat:

  • - Store your boat safely outside 
  • - Protect from moisture & mildew
  • - No monthly indoor storage fee 
  • - Keep nesting animals out
  • - Protect paint from harsh winter 
  • - Adds a layer of protection form elements

Do it right Shrink Wrap your boat for winter storage

During long periods of storage, your uncovered boat is susceptible to damage
from a number of sources; rain, snow, blowing dirt and debris, bird droppings, UV
radiation and nesting birds or rodents. While conventional covers or tarps offer
some shelter from the elements, only a shrink-wrap cover gives your boat
protection that’s 100% waterproof, impossible to blow off and can withstand
heavy loads of snow or rain.

More about Shrink Wrapping your boat

Shrink wrap your boat and add that extra layer of protection to your boat as part of your winterization process. By properly shrink wrapping your boat it can last years providing waterproof and UV protection for your watercraft, machinery, or personal property.

Shrink wrap is a polyethylene film that is used to cover the object or vessel shrunken tight creating a protective covering of skin from snow, ice and debris

Shrink wrap comes in a number of sizes and thickness depending on what is needed for the area and application and duration of protection needed.

In Utah we primarily use shrink wrap for the harsh winter climate and elements to protect boats while in storage for the winter months. Shrink wrap also protects from the pollution in the air and from industrial fall out over time and will keep boat clean over the time of storage so when it is pulled out the boat is ready for use. Detail your boat and put it away ready to use in the summer.

How is shrink wrap done?

The process begins by prepping the boat by creating a frame or support structure acting as a skeleton that the film can be shrink wrapped to. This is done by using support poles and in some cases using the existing structure such as a tower on a wakeboard boat. Strapping lines are run from bow to stern and port to starboard completing the frame. A belly line is ran with a number of support lines that creates a cage or to complete the frame for the shrink wrap film.

The shrink wrap is sized and custom fitted to your boat. This shrink wrap film is pulled over and draped over the frame of the boat that we have created and secured to the belly line. This is done by folding the ends around the belly line and welding with heat creating a snug fit around the boat.

The belly line is tied down so that when heated the film won’t lift out of place. The film is completely heated and forms tightly around the skeleton or frame that was created.

Ventilation is the final step along with taping up all the seams and any holes etc.

Lake Havasu for Spring Break or Early Bird Watersports Trip

Do you own or have access to a boat? No problem just call TK Watersports for a full service water sports spring vacation. Do you long for opportunities to waterskiing or wakeboard wake surf or knee board? Are you bored with traditional Spring Break scenes? Do you want to try something different? Look no further – Lake Havasu is the Spring Break destination for you!


For those of you who have been there and done that as far as the usual Spring Break hotspots are concerned, and who feel that you have outgrown the resort scene and need a change, Lake Havasu provides the perfect solution – Spring Break on the water! Every Spring Break, the lake fills with more boats than can be counted. It will be bumper to bumper in some places, and that's just the way the Spring Break crowds like it – because more boats means more people, and more people means more fun. In lots of places, boaters will tie their vessels together to form one huge raft effect, meaning that you can just hop from boat to boat as the parties get going.

The atmosphere is fun and casual, with everyone basking in Lake Havasu's strong sunlight, music pumping out from many boats all across the water, and everyone moving around to meet new people and have a great time in the sun. All in the most amazing surroundings you can imagine – the mountains loom large over the lake, creating a fabulous backdrop for Spring Break boat parties! If spending all day every day in your swimwear and lounging on the deck or swimming in the warm water sounds good to you, then Lake Havasu might very well be your perfect Spring Break destination!

As the day draws to a close and the sun sets, most people head inland for some great food at one of Lake Havasu's popular restaurants, where you can find a really good range of local and international cuisine. Try the fresh seafood as you dine at a casual open air restaurant overlooking the water and watch the sunset. Perfect! And then head out to one of the city's popular nightlife spots for dancing and mingling with the rest of the buzzing Spring Break crowd. You can keep it quiet and relaxed, or you can party like a mad thing – set your own pace, Lake Havasu Spring Break gives you that freedom. It's the perfect spot for a Spring Break that's out of the ordinary

If you don’t like the crowds of Spring Breaks but want to get out on the water early this season, Havasu can still be a great destination of choice. It is warmer earlier in the season making it a great choice just make sure you coordinate your vacation around major College Spring Breaks if you are trying to avoid heavy traffic.
