So I park my snow blower in the garage and would like the snow residue to melt in place and not go all over.

I built this giant tray with a ramp so I can push the blower on it, that way the snow will stay on the tray.

I will caulk the seams and paint it with some resistant paint but I’ll like to either glue a tarp on it, or some other plastic material or perhaps use some special coating so it lasts a few years.

The “floor” of the tray is OSB (aspenite?). Not the best for this is what I had and this project is more of an experiment for me.

Any recommendations?

    I don’t see why not. If you’re really paranoid, there’s always marine epoxy…

    Ideally you’d install a drain in the corner of this thing that went somewhere. Outside, preferably. If you want your puddle to evaporate faster, point a fan at it. That’s what I do when I need to hose off one of my bikes but I have to do it in the garage rather than outside.
