SureShade sunshade systems are built with quality marine-grade construction and materials. However, just like other parts of a boat, SureShade canvas systems need to be shielded from snow and other harsh winter weather conditions to protect the canvas and mechanical components. SureShade recommends taking the proper precautions to avoid damage during winter storage (or ground transportation for winter storage), which includes fully retracting and securing the SureShade sunshade system and properly tarping or shrink-wrapping the boat. -
