anybody know anything about portable garages also known as car canopies? i'm looking to put one up to keep a car in. i see they go from as low as a hundred bucks to as high as a couple thousand. i donm't mind spending a little more than a hundred but there's no way i'm gonna go for one that's 1500 or more

anybody who can reccomend a brand i'd apprecaite it

Re: car canopies....

My uncle uses one for his boat, he'd rather keep his car in the garage, but he likes the canopy, works pretty good in all weather conditions( we got alot of snow this winter) and it held up very well.Just have to remember to keep it anchored down for strong winds.

Re: car canopies....

hi norm...i'll only use it in the spring, summer, and fall. when the weather goes bad the car comes off the road and goes in storage. unfortunately i don't have a garage anymore. when we built the new house i didn't get the garage with plans on getting it later... well, you knlow how those things workout. still no garage. this would be for my camaro. i used a cover for my one syclone and thought it was actually harder on the sy than if i just left it out. i've heard good and bad things about canopies. being careful they don't collapse on the car. that they get hotter than hell inside and also humid as can be with the heat and moisture. i know costco sells one for about 200 bucks i think and i thought i might get some anchors to really tie it into the ground so it won't collapse and get one with windows to keep it vented with a fan so not too hot.

i'm such a frickin cripple now i can't put it up. mike renz doesn't know this yet, but i'm gonna try to get him to throw it up for me .... :--)

if you find out about a brand let me know. thanks

Re: car canopies....

I beleive he bought it from Fleet Farm. Not sure of the name, but he has used it now for 6 years or so, probably more. Yeah it does get hot as hell in the summer time, but he usually opens a door on it and that helps.
