: Well, all hell broke loose today. We got hit with 2 1/2" hail driven by
: 50 MPH winds. My pickup needs a new windshield, the dents in the body make
: me cry (as does the state of our garden). The four kayaks on the top rack
: don't have a mark on them!! I am amazed. Plastic lawn chairs, buckets, and
: Rubermaid bins on the deck are full of holes.

:Ever think about strip plank your pick up body-- It will be tough like your yak and looks just as good.

: ps, Haven't forgot about follow-up info on our vacuum bagged decks.

Vacuum bagged your your garden deck, Mmmm... you need a giantic bag and pump. It sure would stand up to those hail storm.
