Re: Storing restored model A without a garage or carport

However........ You really might want to consider this:
For abt $165 I got a Harbor Freight "Garage in a Box" using a coupon... Size 10'x17' and its gotten us through at least three fairly significant winters here in Connecticut. My Mason set four substantial eye bolts into a preexisting apron of Belgian block at the end of our driveway and we used ratchets and tie-down straps instead of the auger types included. (Temp storage shed permits from the town were abt $8-$10/year, no inspection needed since it's under 200sq ft). As another upgrade, I slid some long 1" PVC pipes into the lower hems of both the cover and the end panels, and then ziptied them to the eyebolts and that way it kept out even wind blown snow.
Cheap, effective, temporary, and easy to install. (But I'm sorry to say, my wife hates the color... I don't...)
Yes, It's quite true that there can be condensation and it may well drip, but it would only happen when there was a significant (6 inches or more) snow load on the cover....

John's suggestion of a "garage in a box" sounds ideal, if the area is secure.
