Only thing I would be worried about is it disintegrating in high wind or rain, does seem a cheap temp alternative though.

They're a massive condensation trap as soon as the temperature drops below 10°c

but the poly tunnel is vented on both side s, also would be a great spray booth , cracking item for little money

having a large drive, a collection of cars, and no motivation to work on them, i am well versed in protective plastic. of course it would need some substantial anchor points, and would drive you made rustling like a crisp packet in anything more than someone sneezing on it, but the killer is UV. just turns to tissue paper after a year or two

that polytunnel will drip from all over the place onto the thing that you are trying to keep dry. good at keeping the wind and frost off and perfect for automatically watering your plants.
poly tunnels get really humid also. probably the opposite of conditions that youd want for a car.
is there no way you cant just build a cheap lean to against your home?

I kept two cars in a 10'x30' polytunnel for a few years. It worked well - no condensation or leaks. I bought a frame only and used a blue tarpaulin with the ends open so there was plenty of ventilation. I did live on a farm at the time and it was out of sight - it would have been a bit of an eyesore plonked in front of a house TBH. Don't scrimp on either the frame or the cover, bury the cover along the sides or wrap it around wooden battens fixed to the frame and it will survive very strong winds. I'm still using it after about 20 years, it's now full of wood and building materials (and the odd scooter or bike) and it's about due it's third tarpaulin.

Anything like this available in your part of the world. Have been told they are pretty good. I have an idea that they originated in Europe somewhere. shelterstation.co.nz/ |

As its in a field it doesn't matter if it rustles in the wind! |

I've got a marquee/tent type garage Bought it from machine mart I've had it a couple of years now and I use it for storing our VW camper while I'm restoring it Or more like when I'm not working on in the garage I put it in the tent It does suffer from condensation (when the sun hits it on a cold morning) but it's usually gone by lunchtime so you do get some drips of water on the vehicle but not enough to be a problem Mines big enough to use as a make shift workshop if its raining outside and I need something done  |
