In Response To: Strip: Leaving It Out? (Jim777)

Due to space limitations, I'm actually considering leaving one of my kayaks outside for the winter, under a tarp. Will the cold hurt it?

The cold won't hurt it but, it's best to get it off the ground, the higher the better. Cover the cockpit, so you don't have raccoons nesting and place it in the shade of the north side of a building to keep it from extremes of hot and cold which can happen with the sun hitting it during the day.
