Happy Podding


How long was your conduit?

The wife and I put ours on Tuesday.  We used two extension poles with brushes  to walk it back over the POD.  Fits well, Just have to unzip the street side rear corner a little to be able to use the side door(no big deal) looks like a custom cover.
Great price would buy another in a heart beat.

Mine finally arrived yesterday!  Other than the PVC pipe helper, does anyone have any suggestions for putting the cover on easier?  I haven't put it on yet and from the looks of the weather I won't be able to until sometime next week.  Rain every day!

I got mine and it fit great on a 176.  Mainly we got it to protect from the sun, since we have had minimal rain here.  Even if it only lasts a couple of years it was worth the $127 I paid for it.

Have some experience with the whole "Air Movement" subject. What has worked best for me are those foam noodles they sell as beach toys     ...or a few pieces of foam pipe insulation they sell at hardware stores. Just lay them crosswise under the cover.
