when I first got this product it was really cool and it worked okay. The problem was (even using the grey pvc) is that the pvc pipes would become permanently bowed which was okay however, when it rained hard and the water pooled up on the tarping in between the ribs the pvc pipe would shift and then invert. My cover was good and water proof so it turned into a pool liner (yikes)... I made weep holes in my tarp and that helped some. It is a decent low cost solution but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped it would. I think there is a solution of drilling holes in the pvc and running a stabilizer bar or something to stabilize it from shifting then inverting but I was worn out with it by then plus I am not that crafty. For the price it's okay and it is really a cool idea. I don't use it anymore. Standard Arch Support System for Pontoon Covers
When we purchased this system we were surprised to see that the (Arches) PVC was not included. After contacting the seller and receiving a very quick response, we understood why. We installed the arches today and put our cover on. Before the bad weather hits we will put a larger more substantial cover on. For now, this works great. We will see how it holds up to the winter winds and snow, but it sure looks and feels sturdy enough. Installation was easy and took very little time.
The cost of the unit was more than reasonable including the PVC. We were quite impressed with the results.
I originally saw this item at Brass Pro Shop and it was priced two brackets for $19.99. I found the sysytem available at Amazon for a much better price! The Pontoon Boat Cover "Arch" Support System works very well I would recommend it to anyone with a pontoon but. Alot of covers will hold rain and this arch system eliminates this problem. Great value and very functional.'
