They're great Geo, just make sure its well anchored or the wind will carry it away
its so nice to keep the sun n snow off her vehicle

 

That looks like a good one, Ger. Trouble is wife wants a cheap one, which you know won't last....

 

Morning everyone. Make sure it can breath under the tent Gerry, there hold condensation ...

 

Thats true George

yes I made sure its vented J, plus I usually leave the ends open so I can drive in n out

 

It's mainly the summer months that are bad if not well vented, there was a guy up here who parked a car to protect it from the sun and was pretty astonished at how much rust attacked it...

 

x2 on what gerry said with being well anchored. Course sometimes ma nature sits there and goes "LOL watch this."



carport cannoli



snapped steel cable



that twisted structure made it a PITA to pull it apart...

 

not much you could have done to prevent that eh Shawn,
my MIL had the same thing happen up here

 

You need to have a pretty long rope attached to them because they become a pretty good kite in a wind storm...lol

 

nope.. when nature snaps steel cables your pretty much SOL.. it was a pretty severe wind storm that did that 2 days after i left.. when i pulled up to the house 2 weeks later i was like "WTH did the car port go..." then the headlights hit the cannoli shape.. only took an hr to put it up.. took me 3.5 hrs to get it apart.. when i reviewed the security camera footage it was getting hit with strong winds pretty good.. 1 little cable held strong where the others snapped... was the only reason it didnt end up anywhere else in the neighbors fields..

lol that they do.. dads truck got pretty well scratched up the first time the wind moved it... luckily it wasnt in there when the other storm turned it into the cannoli..

 

I hope I never have to see my latest portable garage like a pretzel

I wont be holding the rope J

 

I wouldn't suggest you do Gerry, who knows where it would take you...

 

I could end up in Shawns yard lol ...........
