tent for a car - ok if fixed down properly but they do get mucky and the material is usually crap after a while.

You get wet uncovering it after it rains or wet covering it during the rain....

I'm contemplating on getting one, robust and deal with windy weathers well, but then again I need to buy a garage instead, but price difference.

Industrial type pegs if on grass, but can be bolted down if on concrete

Hi DPB I take it you have bad experience with your one? is it windy where you are from? I'm lucky my car space is quite secluded.
Which brand did you have?

Hi Bustamoves,


The Clarke one looks good, I believe Dan cover do one similar, I haven't checked which is the better spec at the moment as I was looking more at the folding ones, as I thought I might get less grieve from the local council, with something smaller and less obtrusive,
I might check it out with the council, as the fixed open fronted ones would be much better.

You're welcome. Just to add, my friend did have his bolted to a concrete base just as you are proposing. Let us know how you get on:thumb:

Hi DPB,


Ah just round the corner then, TBH mate It's pretty good where I am as I'm tight against two brick walls.


Thanks Mate.
