Gifts for Boating and Backyard Dads

Some dads are weekend warriors on the lake. Others rule the backyard with a grill in one hand and a tent stake in the other. No matter where your dad spends his summer—on the water or close to home—he deserves something made just for him. This year, skip the predictable presents and go with custom gifts for Dad that match his lifestyle. From boating upgrades to backyard canvas covers and repairs, SugarHouse Industries builds handcrafted solutions that are built to last.

For example, SugarHouse Industries specializes in custom, handcrafted solutions built to withstand the toughest adventures. From boating upgrades to backyard essentials, our products are designed to fit his lifestyle perfectly. Here are some thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift ideas for every kind of summer-loving dad.

If your dad lives for long weekends on the water, he needs gear that matches his enthusiasm. Whether he’s cruising Lake Powell, fishing at Flaming Gorge, or relaxing at Willard Bay, the right equipment ensures his boat stays ready for action. For instance, a custom boat cover can make all the difference in protecting his investment.

Gift ideas for the lake-loving dad:

• Custom Boat Covers: Tailored to his exact boat model, these covers shield against sun, rain, and wear, keeping his vessel pristine.

• Wakeshade: This durable sunshade provides instant relief from the heat, letting him enjoy the day without sacrificing comfort.

• Marine Repairs: Worn snaps or faded canvas? Our expert repairs restore his gear to like-new condition, extending its life for seasons to come.

Additionally, surprise him with a fully planned lake day. Pack the cooler, prep the gear, and unveil his new SugarHouse upgrade when he arrives. He’ll love the thoughtfulness—and the chance to hit the water hassle-free.

Not every dad needs a boat to make summer unforgettable. Some create magic right at home, grilling steaks, telling stories by the fire, or hosting backyard campouts. For example, a custom BBQ cover can protect his prized grill from the elements, ensuring it’s ready for every cookout.

Perfect gifts for backyard legends:

• Custom BBQ Covers: Designed to fit any grill—pellet smokers, gas models, or built-in setups—our covers keep his equipment safe year-round.

• Tent Repairs: A broken zipper doesn’t mean the end of a beloved tent. Our repairs make it good as new.

• Outdoor Fabric Repairs: From torn patio furniture covers to weathered awnings, we restore the gear he relies on most.

Pro Tip: Bundle the gift with a “Backyard Campout Kit”—think marshmallows, flashlights, and a handwritten invite from the kids.

For the Sentimental Dad

Some dads cherish their well-worn gear—the boat canopy from countless family trips, the grill cover that’s seen a decade of barbecues, or the tent that’s weathered every storm. For example, this Father’s Day, show you care by giving those items new life. Additionally, professional canvas repairs can revive his favorites without replacing their sentimental value.

Great gift ideas for the sentimental or practical dad:

• Canvas Repairs: We fix rips, tears, and worn areas on everything from boat covers to patio enclosures.

• Replacement Panels & Zippers: A single broken piece shouldn’t ruin his setup. In addition, we’ll replace it seamlessly.

• Custom Canvas Solutions: Need a cover that doesn’t exist? For instance, we’ll design and build one from scratch to meet his exact needs.

Consequently, this kind of gift is both thoughtful and sustainable, keeping his trusted gear in action for years.
