Default Transhield winter storage cover

Been seeing increased material costs for conventional shrink wrapping so I started looking at other options. Came across a product called Transhield.
https://www.amazon.com/Transhield-V-...=VEHICLE_COVER

Price is right, especially if I can get 3 years or so out of it. Still need a support structure but easy enough to do. What I don't like is the apparent decreased slope for snow compared to most shrink wrapping.
Anyone have experience with the product?
I could also do a conventional tarp system but UV light would take its toll yearly and could be harsher on the gel.

No experience regarding use on a boat but I've used this material for outdoor storage of both large painted and gelcoat finished components at work. Product does well at protecting a finished surfaces, much better then a tarp or canvas material as the inner face has a non-woven finish vs. traditional shrink wrap film. We had no issue re-using our covers multiple times.

Curious, how are white tarps good for global warming? Or did you mean white, being more reflective, reduces the greenhouse effect inside the tarp?

Hi, Yes the white would reduce the heat, and a newly developed paint has been made White Paint would alone greatly reduce Global Warming.
