Need a Car Canopy
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this topic but at the moment we have a two car garage which has my mom's van and my sister's Neon in it, leaving my Alero out in the cold. However my mom offered to buy a canopy to help protect it during the upcoming winter, and probably all year around as well.
I have been looking around online and it looks as though most range in the $300 - $500 area but I don't know if these would hold up well to the wind, snow, and ice. Do you guys have any recommendation that are still relatively inexpensive?

If you are getting one of the portable garage kits secure the anchors in concrete in the ground. This will help with the stability a bit...

Yeah, it blows. But she is the oldest and tends to be favorited in that regards.
Anyway, should I be okay with something like this with additional side walls?
Or should I be spending more and getting one that is aluminum? I've also noticed that small sheds cost about the same as a the metal carports but the doors aren't wide enough.

I like it, not too bad a price either. I'll probably end up having it cemented in but we will see, perhaps I will get the anchors in case I move out in the next couple of years and I want to take it with.
