a good "temporary" garage solution?

Ok, so as I've posted multiple times already, my '06 PW/B MCS is due to dock in Charleston tomorrow or the next day!!!
When the MINI (I'm thinking of the name Percival McFarthingham,Percy for short ) gets here I will have to move my PT Cruiser out into the elements . My husband's brand new Nissan Titan will be in the garage with Percy. I have a nice little area alongside my driveway that I can park the PT. We will probably build a little structure to keep it there, but until then I need a sturdy kit type of thing to put up to keep the PT. Any suggestions for websites with good units at a decent price?
Thanks,
Annette

Do you have room for something like this? It's not made for real bad weather, but might do the trick. The other option might be a car cover. Heck, you'll drive the MINI 99% of the time anyway...

I've even seen them with sides.

Look at this post. I think that's at the local Home Depot. RedandWhiteCooper (Rick) lives by me. Loks like he's planning the same thing...

congrats on the car.


about the PT... my brand new 06 Black legacy wagon is always out in the elements...and no, i did not lease it, it's under my name...and it snows here.
You'll forget about it once your MINI arrives.
