Surely you could make that out of a gazebo or tent for 1/5th of the price?

I've just bought a bike bubble.

Looks well made with a built in fan and trickle charger. I'm quite happy with the quality so would assume all their products are well made.

Delivery was a little slow though

We've had one for a good 7 or 8 years now and it's absolutely fantastic. Well worth the money.

The car stored in there is permanent, all year round.

To put things in perspective - There is only a hint of surface rust on the discs after 6 months of storage.

You have to be careful to align the base properly as the sides can rub the wings in high winds, however this problem can be solved by putting a standard / basic car cover on before storing it in the Carcoon.

This is the car in question:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for that. I'm planning to get the indoor Veloce model. It's got a frame so It would much easier for more regular usage whereby you can just drive in. The condition of your car after looks excellent. Really confirmed it to me.

Glad I cam across this. I have been thinking of getting one of these. Do any of them run a humidity control?
