The great Northern Tool Cover Debate..

Wow, for that price I just might get one! Don't blame you at all. My wife is in an IT position and on the 'puter all day. Took us a LONG time to start using F/B.. and after a couple years, we still only have like 40 friends, that are all family or real, we know them in the real world, friends... It has allowed us to both catch up with our best friends from college and high school, and the military, which is nice as we are a long way from where we grew up.. Our big revolt against the machine is "homey don't text".. and just the general fact that we waited until about 2005 before we got our first cell phone, and it was only 2 years ago that we BOTH had one.

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.

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.

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 was able to put ours on by myself with the help of a piece of 1/2" conduit with a tennis ball stuck on top (I'm thinking a piece of 1" or 1 1/2" PVC might be better, as the 1/2" conduit now has a bend in it).  I tried several different ways of putting it on and if I remember the easiest was starting in the back and bring it forward.  Of course that may have had something to do with the 20 mph breeze coming toward the front of the Pod.
