I added nylon string at a 60 degree to help add strength to the canoe it will help keep from racking while in the water.

covered with string.

I first thought I would cover it in bright orange Nylon fabric that way when I was at the lake and my better half could keep an eye on me.  Okay, well she said no it should be camo.  Not quite sure how to take that.  Anyway, this what we ended up with.

I still testing for the best way to attach it to the frame.

Hoping to decide today and put the fabric on tomorrow and in the water within the week.
