Temporary shelter
Any of you guys use one of these in the nice weather instead of pulling in and out of the garage 10 times a day. Seems like a good concept. I want one.

I drive mine and wash it when the weather cooperates... like all my other vehicles. It won't melt!

Sorry, I do not use a temporary shelter for my car - it goes in the garage when not being driven. Why would you pull the car in and out of the garage 10 times a day?

Thus pleasing everyone and no one on this site.

What’s so hard about pulling in to the garage? Also why would one leave the house 10 times in a day?

Maybe one of the metal ones you bolt to driveway?? No sides, but you could cover it I suppose.

If I need to use the garage for a large portion of the day, I use my temporary shelter on the GS - it is a Covercraft NOAH car cover. Otherwise, if I am not using the GS it sits in the garage.

Is pulling in and out from a temporary shelter any different than pulling in and out of a garage, is the question I have. Garage door openers really do last a long time when taken care of, if that is the issue. Heck is the weather is nice, as you suggested, why then need for shelter at all? Park it in front of the garage if you don't want to pull in and out. Not trying to be harsh...just wondering why?

Google " Shelter Logic ". They make tent type structures to protect your vehicles. I use one for my 49 Chevy truck. They come in several sizes and are sturdy.
