Portable garage
I need a garage to keep my camaro in. It has to cover it completely and wide enough to open 1 door to get in and out Im guessing I need a 12"x 20" It will be on pavement between 2 buildings.

75.5 " exterior body width I would think you'd be alright with either width, but may have a tough time if you had a passenger getting out on the 10' one. |

I have heard good things about ShelterLogic (used to be CoverIt). Supposed to be very durable and the rounded roof will help with snow

I have been thinking the same thing about a place to store the truck I plan on getting in a year or two. I already have 2 garage doors, but fiance's car is on one side, and the camaro is in the other. I currently leave my mazda3 sitting at the end of the driveway so we can drive around it, but with a truck, its too wide, nor do I want to leave a brand new truck sitting at the end of my driveway.
Thus, I have thought about paving my driveway wider, and then putting one of these up so the truck has a place to stay out of the light (UV rays). Would also probably help keep frost and snow off it during the winter. Anyone know how well these stand up against snow sitting on them?

check out california car covers. They have "bubbles" that not only protect cars from the elements but also from moisture too.

A 12x20x8 I have used just make sure you anchor it down good. Also make sure the cover in on firm.

Get the largest one that can fit in the designated space.
I'd get the round style.

Between two buildings? Why not just build a garage there? You already have two sides should be easy.

But a 10ft should be enough, I was able to get out of my car in my 8.5ft wide enclosed trailer. It was very tight but it worked. |

no power so no bubble. How easy is it to move once up. I will be putting it in front of another garage that is only for storage but will be inaccessible with the portable one in front of it? its going to go where my car is
