0 Tony B Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I use a breathable carvan cover. It fits the Dodge and would fit over a scaffold frame leaving room. Also about £300 cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Stormin Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I've seen similar tents in Costco for less than £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 haybaggerman Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 A local around here fixed cars for a living out of a couple of these, paid £500 each and they lasted a long time. Just make sure you fix it down well or it maybe more portable than you bargained for!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 antar Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 The blue sheets 12' x16' from Costco are excelent when combined with scaffolding, my Crusader has been under one of these for 2 years, just changed the sheet this Christmas as it was getting a little faded. They are about £15 for a bag containing 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 gritineye Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Building Regulations do not apply to a carport provided the carport is open on at least two sides AND the floor area does not exceed 30 square metres. .I know this because I once built someone a garage with no door and no rear wall, neighbours objected but it was deemed to be a carport, doors wall added when neighbours had got used to it.

0 Steve 82 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I use a breathable motor-home cover for a Unimog 404 when I keep it on the drive. Was quoted 500 Pounds + from one supplier - in the end found a Chinese made equivalent for 150 Pounds which has served me 3 winters so far. Water deflecting, breathable - so dries quickly during times of high humidity and is physically strong enough to resist some serious winds !
