Carcoons - are they any good?
Discussion
Hello!
What's the best outdoor cacoon type car bubbly thing at present?
I'm close to accidentally buying a car. However, the garage is full, so something will have to live outside in winter.
I'd prefer a rigid frame with good air circulation as I'd be more likely to use the car on cold, sunny days if I could just drive it out, rather than collapse and then reinflate a bubble. But, Mrs B won't allow anything too tall or obtrusive.
What is currently the best way to go?
Thank you.

On this thread I don't think we have talked about framed outside protection. Based on what I have seen on Youtube the best protection by far is afforded by the Carcoon, but then no one seems to have tried these:-

They seem to have a nice range, but damp will rise from the ground, unlike a sealed Carcoon.

For one winter I used a Carcoon Veloce outside with a caravan cover over it, I had to make a timber frame to create a 'roof pitch' otherwise the rain water puddled on top of the cover.
I wouldn't recommend it. It seemed damp in there on wet days even though the fans worked well to circulate the air.

I turned my fans off and put a £100 dehumidifier in there.I wouldn't recommend it. It seemed damp in there on wet days even though the fans worked well to circulate the air.
It has done a cracking job of keeping humidity below 60% through the winter. I tends to go into standby when it is 2 degrees or lower, but on those days, humidity tends to be low anyway.
