Car Canopy

 I've put the new car cover on three, maybe four, times and already it's gotten old. A canvas carport is seeming more and more like a better solution. It'll still be nice to have a car cover.


The dimensions are easy--there are a number of 10' x 20' canopies with six supports--that fits the RAV4. The ridge height of these, however, is 103" or so and the garage eave is 100.5". The fascia is 99". It would nice if it tucked under the eave and could be attached to the garage wall, but it's not a requirement.

They come in green, grey, white, camouflage. I like the blue, but it looks like a temporary tarp (which it is).

For wind holddowns, they sell things that velcro to four legs that you fill with water or sand (sand is heavier).

This is a heavy-duty model (8 legs) for $250


Lighter (6 legs), same company, for $175

Two strikes and you're out, Lennox

Back in 2017, I bought a new gas furnace . Lennox was a good brand, once. Then the blower ECM went out and cost me $700 or so to fix in July...
