It lives under my veranda, with plastic covering it also so it isnt exposed to anything but a tiny bit of arvo sun. It was built in 2018.

So my old man built one for himself maybe 20 years ago. Kept the plans for it, then when he took it to his new house we decided to build one for me (couldnt find anything priced reasonably anyway)

weeelllll, some do. like International.

Last time I painted the boat deck, I used a non marine "Pavecoat". Underwater paints are brilliant.

The sun is the killer on the water and covering over stuff on land. The wind will cause covers to flap wearing through paints, setting it up to rust or rot.
Depending on the boats materials used.

Works well, better than spar varnish. Problem with varnish being so shiny, is UV gets to it, becomes cloudy, then cracks up. Requires hard scrapping to remove, re sanding to base material, then refinish by layers of varnish.

Dek's goes on, last around 6-8 months with one coat, stays glossy over that time then dulls flat. It can be wiped down or lightly sanded and then re-apply.

You can apply also a 2 pack version by brush.

Second choice for me would be Feast and Watson varnish.

Must admit, I do use the Feast and Watson Spar varnish on the wooden stake sides of the truck. The varnish does protect it a little from loading scrapes and looks kinda purdy.
