ShelterLogic for my S
Hi guys,
Just wanted to get an opinion from the metro guys on a car shelter I want to buy. I don’t have a garage, just a driveway area at my house. I’ve got acorns falling on the car from wicked high 150 year old trees. Right now I have two car covers on the car after I came out and became enraged
at a ding on the fender, CR spoiler and trunk from acorns. That was with just the one cover on, I’m hoping 2 covers will help until I pick up a car tent at home depot.
This is the one I can afford, it seems the S will fit based on the dimensions of the car which are 5.75 x 14 . Don’t go by the pic on the site, it’s not the 10x16x8 I am going to get.

I cannot afford a $250 per month storage bin for 4 to 5 months this winter. The round design should keep snowfall from being a problem im assuming by the reviews I read..Any thoughts?

It's worth a shot. My concern would be the wind picking it up and moving it, causing more damage than the acorns would have. Properly secured though and you should have no issues.

Why not invest in a good carport out of steel or building one?
I don't see that thing being stable under extreme weather. Many places here in FL that don't have garages at least have carports.

Well, number one money. I have a kid in college, a 10 year old and a mortgage. Im unmarried so im the only income in my house so for me its financial. But also where I park my car I don't have much more room than what this shelter would offer. My main concern is acorns and snow. With a round roof the snow will shed right off, I did my research from other people who bought this. In a huge hurricane like storm, id move the car somewhere lese anyways. Acorn, rain and snow protection is what I need.
