    Carport Suggestions

    I am looking for suggestions on a nice/durable "carport" option for winter time. I would like something that can sustain PA wind and snow and that costs under $400. I rather not spend 2k on a metal 2 bay carport at the moment as I am planning on build an additional garage in the next few years.

    Any recommendation would be appreciated.

    Thanks
    Josh

    I ordered this in 2010

    Compare Prices on ShelterLogic 12' x 20' Super Max Canopy by ShelterLogic (677599257735)

    Not sure the site I ordered it from, but I wanted one that was stronger. It is very sturdy and held the 2' of snow we had a couple years in a row. I also ordered the walls surrounding it.

    Where in PA are you? I'm not even using mine anymore and its sitting in a shed. I live in North Jersey (Morris County).

    Here's the enclosure kit...

    I bought one of these for the 3K. I parked the car in it maybe 4 times.
    It collapsed the first good snow with no way to salvage it.
    One of the worst $300 I've ever spent

    Was it 2" piping though? The one I have has 2" piping, when most have 1-5/8" or something. Mine has survived the recent snowfalls we had of 2ft.

    Seems like there is no good "reliable" option in my price range. What about a nice car cover?

    ^That was going to be my suggestion since you plan to build a garage down the road.

    Yeah. It's only 1-3/8" poles, that's why. I spent the extra to get 2" poles.
