KAOS Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I just covered the the hood on my "sports car" with blankets. It's made of aluminum and doesn't do well with hail. Hope the wind doesn't blow them off. I might pre soak them with the hose in hopes the additional weight, etc. keeps them in place. I need a garage. Light show is awesome.

KAOS Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 No need to pre-soak ...nature is doing that for me. It has been my experience that if I can hold onto rain for the first 5 minutes I won't experience severe hail. I could be wrong....time will tell.
