Shrink Wrapping & Storage
When it comes to protecting your boat through a Northwestern Ontario winter, nothing does the job more completely than professional shrink wrapping. At Nestor Falls Marine & Sports, our Shrink Wrapping service seals your boat in a custom-fitted, heat-shrunk polyethylene barrier that keeps out moisture, snow, ice, UV radiation, bird droppings, tree debris, and every other environmental threat that the long Lake of the Woods off-season can throw at it. Whether your boat is stored at our facility or at your own property, a properly installed shrink wrap is the single most effective layer of protection you can add to your winter storage plan — and it is one of the most cost-effective investments you can make in the long-term condition of your vessel.
Our shrink wrapping process begins with a thorough preparation of your boat before the wrap goes on. Antenna masts, outboard motors, bimini frames, and any other protrusions that could puncture the wrap from the inside are either removed, lowered, or padded to prevent damage to the wrapping material. A support framework is constructed over the boat using strapping and support poles to create a peaked structure that encourages snow and water to shed off the sides rather than pooling on top — an important detail in a region that regularly sees heavy snow accumulation over the winter months. The shrink wrap material is then applied over the entire boat and heat-shrunk using a professional propane heat gun to create the tight, custom fit that makes shrink wrapping so effective. Ventilation patches are installed in strategic locations to allow air circulation and prevent condensation from building up inside the wrap during temperature fluctuations.
For the most complete winter protection, we recommend combining professional shrink wrapping with storage at our facility. Booking both together means your boat goes from the water directly into a protected, properly prepared state — with no gaps in coverage and no coordination headaches on your end. It's the simplest, most thorough way to protect your investment over the long Lake of the Woods off-season.
Contact us in the fall to reserve your spot before storage fills up. Space is limited and early bookings are strongly encouraged.
Don't leave your boat's winter protection to chance. Whether you're looking for shrink wrapping alone, storage alone, or a full end-of-season package, Nestor Falls Marine & Sports has you covered. Reach out today to discuss your needs and get your boat booked in before the season ends.
