Until the spring of 2016 I had stored my dob in a garden shed that is just to the left of this photo. As close as it was to the pad it was a bit of a pain to drag out each night. So I took the cover from my now defunct "portable garage" and fabricated this heavy duty cover. It looks like heck but it keeps my dob out of the rain and snow. It has now been install at this spot for about 11 months through the winter of 2016/17. There is a bit of dirt on the primary but nothing to get excited about.
