Bought one yesterday as I've heard very good things about them, and after having all of the recent work done then I want to keep it in good order

I'd say a lot of it depends where you lived also. I don't think it'd work where I live as it'd probably one day attract the attention of a drunkard walking past who wouldn't be able to resist the idea of messing with it.

If I had a garage though I would love a carcoon or if I lived in a quieter area with a huge driveway smile Although the grey outdoor one will make it look like your covering a pile of contruction material lol

I have used a Carcoon in the past, an indoor one.

Every year I used to get rusty brake disks leaving a kitcar in the previous garage (pre fab) and I didn't want that for the Griff.

The Carcoon did exactly what it was supposed to.

(I should sell it now given its not needed in the new brick garage smile)

I have two cars in long term storage in my garage using two Airflow airchambers, I believe they are a bit cheaper that the Carcoons and are like a big drive in drive out tent rather than inflated. They are not dehumidified and rely on two small fans to creat a continuous airflow.

I can only say that they are brilliant! The car comes out months later as perfect as it went in, no condensation or corrosion issues at all and no dust either.

I think there's an outdoor option too.

I would highly recommend them.
