Default car coons. how much and where from?

am putting my e46 m3 off the road for winter and storing it in my shed it my dads. problem is the shed gets damp and it's also my workshop.

do those car coons keep the cars dry?

how much do they cost and does anyone have any other ideas? I am down there every week so starting the car etc isn't an issue.

cheers
andy

As regards keeping your car dry yes they do! The best place to get them is where they are made in Salford at the factory! I have one and used it for 6 plus years when my car was in a barn 1995 to 2002 and it worked very well! I can talk to you about them if you want! I have attached a pic of my one when I was using it over Christmas 2009 as I had to put my toy outside when it snowed!

They really are a superb bit of kit!

If you get a large one you could also fit a dehumidifier, although they might sell one with one built in
