Thoughts on Carcoons in Car Ports

[woiwoi]

G'day Folks

Im moving to a place that only has a car port (lost the battle with the miss'es). Does anyone have a carcoon set up in there carport?

If so what you using and how you finding it?

Cheers
Steve

Phil McGovern (RSPhilip on here I think) used to have his cars in carcoons in the Ranches. From what I know, he had no issues with them and security seemed to be happy enough for them to be there.

My old neighbour kept a 991 GT3 in one Sun - Thurs whilst he went to work in his Matiz

Excellent and they keep improving design.

Mine lives on my drive in wind snow and rain

I've had open top cars and they go in as they come out in the same condition

I’ve used them in the Ranches. Was asked to remove them, although nothing happened when I ignored the request. If left in the sun the plastic will degrade. My one in the sun lasted two summers (just). One in the shade lasted around 4 years.

Thank you, I will get one ordered.

Better than leaving her out in the sun I suppose.

I would agree regarding the colour distortion
It what way did it only last 2 summers

I had mine outside for close to 3 years and it was still perfect apart from colour change

Things tend to fall apart here compared to places where you have snow

Makes sense looking at your location

What are you storing in it? Mine is parked in a car port in ranches and have not yet bothered with a carcoon. Seems fine in the shade but will get it under a cover now it’s mega hot.
