South Shore Boatworks Gazebo Shrink Wrap Protection

We’re excited to share a recent project completed by South Shore Boatworks out of Long Island! Their customer was looking to transform an outdoor gazebo into a functional, year-round space.

The structure measured approximately 8′ x 38′, and the team used a 20′ x 298′ roll of 7-mil white shrink wrap for the job. For this application, 19 feet were cut from the roll and then split in half to achieve the proper coverage.

To create a strong, secure frame, Dr. Shrink Woven Cord Strapping was installed, along with strategically placed (and concealed) secure screws throughout the structure to maintain a tight, clean finish.

A large 36″ x 72″ Dr. Shrink Zipper Access Door was also added, providing convenient entry and exit access all winter long.

South Shore Boatworks proudly services Long Island, the tri-state area, and the broader Northeast region. Thank you to the South Shore Boatworks team for sharing these great application photos with us!

Email us your installation pictures — or tag us on Instagram and/or Facebook! We love to see what you’re up to!

Phillips Restoration Inc. Shrink Wrap Protection

Please find a few photos below from a job completed by Phillips Restoration Inc. in Coyemans, NY. The top of this building was shrink wrapped for weather protection until the roofers could get there to rebuild it. The shrink wrap installer pulled 90′ of wrap and folded it in half, then dropped it over the top. 3/4″ strapping was used for 4 bands top and bottom and 2 in the middle. This building is now well protected from the elements until it will be fully repaired and restored. Nice work to Phillips Restoration!
