Does it attach to the ground by stakes? I would like to put it at the end of my driveway, but I dont want it to blow over or collapse on my evo. I guess I would have to put it in the grass behind my driveway.

 

Yes it is staked down with four stakes. Mine has held up to 40mph gusts and arseloads of snow. Its not completely weather proof as some snow does blow in but its much better than parking it outside with just a car cover. I've tried that and those covers really aren't all that great. Sometimes they end up collecting more dirt and trash than an uncovered car would.

 

that's PERFECT for me! My garage is also detached exactly like yours.
I remember Wal-Mart carries that. I'm going to check it out today.
Thanks for that pic!

 

I bought mine on EBAY but its a heavy **** so if walmart or home depot has them you may be better off getting it locally.

 

Just updating this thread for those who search for car covers.

I decided to go with the portable garage that Sam's Club sells for $200. It's perfect and also comes with windows. I also picked up a $40 breathable car cover from WalMart as a backup. It works out great since my garage is used as a storage.

Here is a quick pic


**quick note: If you decide to go with the portable garage, make sure you bolt the poles to the ground or else you'll end up like me. Long story short, It was windy and raining the night I put the tent up, and the poles decided to scratch and dented the driver side door, quarter panel, fender, bumper of my brand new evo9. The damage was $1,200. What a waste of money. I learned the hard way.

now thats a car cover!

 

 

Sorry to hear about the damage.

My carport has been holding up quite well. We had about 6 inches of snow last week and all I had to do was brush the canapy top off with a broom.

Mine is staked down and currently frozen down as well.

 

The link that you posted of your carport isn't working anymore. Can you repost it please? Also some more detailed pics? I want to compare how the poles differ with mines. You can see the poles in my pic.

Glad to hear that it withstood 6inches of snow. Here we had 3 inches recently and likewise, I just had to brush the snow off the top. Hope it'll do the job with the snowstorms to come.

 

Yea....I'll get some pics up there tonight.
