SAM's Club is selling 10 foot by 20 foot enclosures for $ 200. They have zippered end panels and all the sides can be removed so that you simply have a cover. It is fairly heavy vinyl and the poles are powder coated 2 inch round pipes. For anyone who is stuck parking a vehicle of any kind out of doors, this seems to be a really good deal. It says it is not rated for holding snow on the roof. I do not know how hard it is to assemble. It says to assemble the roof and then raise it and put the poles on. It seems pretty heavy to raise the entire roof to install the poles. |

Ed: I had one of these for over 2 years and it held up very well here in ca. was very easy to put together, we used top, one end and one side, kept the PT and half the black cat under (or vice-versa for a long time, bought at cost co in 2000 for $184.00, and was a very good investment, when we moved I sold it to a young man for $150.00. block-buster ------------------ |

We bought one but really don't have any specific use for it but thought it might come in handy for a party if it is extremely hot or if it rains at the last minute. |

I bought a "Cover It" 1 Car portable garage for around $900. Its able to handle snow, and winds if secured properly. I would spend a little more and get something a little more heavy duty. The ones your talking about should be used seasonal. If it was my Kat in it i would worry about some serious winds ruining my Car. My Kats are in the garage. My Mowers and Atv's and tools etc are in the Cover it!!  ------------------ This message has been edited by CTProwler on 10-12-2003 at 10:13 AM |

I have one of these very same covers from Sam's that I used for two years. I took it down about two months ago when I could finally park in our new garage. One of my friends wants it now so I will be taking it to his house later this week and set it up there. Last year it stayed up through our worst wind storm since 1975. We had winds exceeding 60 mph. I put 20' long 2"x6" boards across the bottom of both sides and bolted the poles to them. Then I stacked about 500 lbs of bricks on the boards to keep the thing from blowing away like a kite. |

I guess if you live in the southern states the snow is a not a factor. This thing will withstand wind if it is secured. The vinyl is very heavy. It is really well made from the looks of it. |
