Hi all,
Just thought I'd show some photos of my little aside project. Just finished it.
I bought a new car and wanted to protect it more, and as the locost is in the garage, I thought this was a good idea.
I'm pretty pleased with the way it's turned out......

Be careful about the water run off, I know some neighbors can get funny about peoples rainwater discharge falling into the boundary of their property.
Other than that, looks good - Where did you get the plastic corrugated sheet from? I got some from B and Q just for a temporary fix and found it to
be very brittle.

It is from B&Q, it seems pretty good to me, is a bit brittle, and care is needed when drilling it, but using the correct screws from Screw fix it
seems rigid. Where I live it is very windy so made sure its solid.
Regarding the rain water, I told the neighbours id put a gutter along the outside edge and then drain it down the slope of my drive. I have left space
to fix it to the frame.
I was getting sick of the Lotus getting wet in heavy rain, don’t know why I didn’t build one years ago. The locost can now be taken out and worked on
all year round if I wanted.
Might extend it by one panel yet, but it will do for the moment.

Will it stand up to the 3 foot of snow we are expecting this winter?

You need a gutter.
Looks good, I'm looking for a house with the garage in the back garden to do just that.
My plan is to cover the whole side of the house, box it all in and put a sectional door on the front. I've had a little practice at the back of
the garage already
