What truck covers work best?
I park my truck outside and would like to know what your using or doing to keep the rain water from pooling up in the bed area? Suggestions appreciated! Is their a pole system like a tent that keeps the cover tight? I'm currently using posts in the midle of the bed to deflect the water. I've tried weights etc.. It rain's a lot in the PNW! I like to keep it covered, if not covered after awhile it starts to grow moss in the crack areas. Let me know your ideas!

Drill a couple holes up at the front on each corner to drain the water. And spray the corners, seams and other places with some of this. It'll keep the moss under control.

Try looking at a boat shop. They make a pole system for boat covers that is adjustable, Maybe something there will work for you. You could also make something out of PVC pipe.
