    STORING YOUR WAKEBOARD BOAT UNDER A PORTABLE GARAGE CANOPY WITH THE TOWER UP...????

    Does anyone currently store their wakeboard boat, with their Tower up, under a portable garage canopy?? IF so, what are some of the things you did to make the canopy tall enough for the boat to get in and out without having to break down the tower each time? If I try and just back up in to my garage canopy my tower hits the top. When measuring, it looks like I maybe need about 2-3'. Looking for some good options. I keep my boat outside, right next to my trailer for the summer (in a camp ground). It can get windy from time to time so looking for some good sturdy options.....

    Thank you!

    larger diameter steel tubes cut to length and then just insert the garage legs in to them the height needed, drill a hole put in a pin. Did this for my rv when I had one.

        I don't know how much your looking to spend, but a great way to make those things taller and more stable/permanent, would be to make some pony walls. I'd use either concrete or about 5 rows of 8x16 cinder block. That way you can bolt the legs into the concrete and it's not going anywhere. You can even put a stone facade if you want fancier looks. If you want cheaper, then just frame up some little walls with pressure treated lumber.. Still gonna need a concrete footing though.

          do the above, then fill four 5-gallon buckets with quickrete, and bury those flush with the ground and bolt the legs into the concrete. That way it's not permanent so when you pack up the site at the end of the season you can return it to original condition pretty easily.

            Whoops... Just saw that you were working in a campground, musta skipped over that the first time... That kinda throws my idea out the window.
