Hey there!
   I had thought about this before but never had the money for a one time
shot price. Have you considered either building or buying a carport with
sides? It would be inclosed at near your house and I even have plans when I
can do it to run electricity to it when I finally get one. Just a thought.
Have a great weekend!!
