The Kerry-All Pouch

Unable to find a product to protect finish plywood in my pickup truck on rainy and snowy days, I created the Kerry-All Pouch, a woven polyethylene "envelope" that you can slide several 4' x 8' sheets of plywood (or drywall) into and keep them out of the weather.
I also have made a 3' x 17' long pouch for baseboard trim, moulding, etc. and a cover for 34-sheet lifts of drywall (both 8' and 12' lengths).
Recently I have introduced a smaller version of the plywood pouch, for 2x4's and boards up to 8' in length.

In my neck of the woods we call that a tarp.

Well, I would too, but then a tarp to my pouch is like a blanket to a sleeping bag. They both can do the same job, but in the rain, wind and snow of eastern Canada (and a good part of the rest of North America, a tarp just doesn't cut it.
Get my drift?

That's a pretty simplistic comparison.
There isn't anything out there remotely similar.
If there was, I would have bought one five years ago when I started looking.
What do you use to carry a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood on an open truck when it's raining out?

I carry my plywood this way sometimes and have gotten caught out once or twice and think it is a decent idea. Price and availability would matter to me.
I personally wouldn't want to spend more than $5-$10 bucks. I would also want the bag available for purchase where I also purchased plywood as it would be an impulse buy.
I could use something that was a little simpler and simply slid over the plywood in the truck bed and was a throwaway. My 2 cents...Joel

Great points, Joel,
I meant the pouch to be reusable, but there may be a market for a one or two time use at a lower price.
I'll have a look at the idea.

With an insulated liner people in the Washington area could survive the night in it!

Where's the other end of that 16ft trim on your dash board? 6' truck bed+2'tailgate= 16'?

I'm in Canada... it's metric!
No, seriously, the trim pieces were only about 8' long. I was just trying to show the boards in a trim pouch.
I didn't have access to a flatbed at the time.

I think its a good idea. Limited market of course, but its still marketable. I would buy one.

Good idea, Steve,
maybe add a power bar, so you could listen to weather reports, etc.
Side pocket for snacks, the possibilities are endless!

I'm giving a free plywood pouch away- see my website:

Guess you could say that it helps keep things dry, however so does the 2500.00 topper on my truck. I feel certain I'll get more use out of the topper than I could the bag. The material is going to break down and have leaks at some point. That's my point of view on the bag.
Posted By:Lloyd
Well, your topper is $2500. My board pouch is $69.95 (including shipping). As far as it breaking down, the plastic has an ultraviolet inhibitor and has typically been lasting 15-20 years on round hay barns, etc.
You trade trucks and even if it fits, you'd have to re-paint the topper - that will cost you 500 bucks and up.
I think they both serve a useful purpose.
