Stow-Zall Boat Canopy Storage Net


Oberon

Recommended Posts

I'm interested in reviews of the Stow-Zall Boat Canopy Storage Net (or something similar). It seems like this would be nice to de-clutter the boat and during the day. I wouldn't leave anything of value overnight. I was originally interested to store our tube but on second look I don't think there will be enough room. So, if you have something like this I'm interested to hear reviews. What do you use it for? Is it worth $119 (email quote)? Or, does it just collect dust?

Thanks in advance...

I'm not trying to piss in your cheerios but, that looks like nothing but a tarp with some straps attached to it.

$119 for some $30 hardware store items?

It seems like a good place to store your stuff but, there's only that one pic. and one page on the website? No other info.?

It's mesh like a trampoline so your stuff can dry.

Even if the items could be purchased for $30 from the hardware store my time is worth something and sewing is not one of my core competencies so it's probably a losing proposition to attempt to make one. I don't know if I even want or need this, which is why I'm soliciting reviews. My choices are 1) spend $0 and change nothing, 2) spend $119 and get a shelf, or 3) spend $30 and get an amateur built tarp shelf. Right now I'm leaning toward option 1).

Option D - Go to a surplus store and get some surplus netting and some webbing (or even ¼" rope). Weave the rope/webbing through the netting (no sewing involved) and attach it on both sides of the canopy.

If you need the extra storage, it's a lot of unused space. If you don't need the storage, don't bother doing anything.

I like that idea. This is why I asked...thanks.

:thumbup: That's what I did for my buddy's lift canopy. Works great. His "shelf" is about 6' deep. It has a crossline at each end and one in the middle for additional support so that it doesn't droop.
