Default out door carcoon

anyone got any experiences of using them? are they good idea or total waste of time? just under 600 quid doesn't seem all that bad compared to the price of building a temporary building whilst the proper garage is going up plus i'm thinking i can use it inside once it's all done anyway?

all opinions needed and welcome!

Depends how often the car is going to be used, as you can't just drive in and out of them! If it was me i'd just buy a proper weather proof car cover, and when your garage is built put a de-humidifier in there

basicly the car will be used for the summer then stored over winter so it's not gonna need to be out all that often.

Er, do they make outdoor ones ? I've got an indoor one and rate it highly but they run on electric and have fans and whatnot so how does the outdoor one work ? Same ? Is everything sealed then ? Like to see one..........

Can't see the weather being kind to one. Get the garage mate and then put the car inside the carcoon inside that.
