I have this area in my driveway that if I park there berries and bird shit gets all over my car as well as pine needles. I’m looking for a low priced car port to install in my driveway. Can anyone recommend one to me? Nothing too fancy cuz I would like stay way under $500 after its all said and done. ---

thought about a car cover for the price since I dont have a whole lot of $ right now. Just wouldnt want that sitting right on my car all the time for the paint and putting it on and off would be a huge pain. ---

I would NOT buy a canvas car port. With all of the snow and changing weather that we have, it will be weathered and have holes in it within months. I bet that thing would last you about 1 year before it is completely deteriorated. If you are going to get anything, get something that is metal/vynil (sp). ---

Yeah I wouldn’t get canvas. There was one at my house when I moved in looked like shit and took it down. I’m eventually going to build a nice wooden one once I get time and money to do it. Already got it cleared with the boro due to it being close to the property line. Got a few buddies who are carpenters and do housing construction and they said they would come do it for grilled steaks and beer. 🍺 ---

maybe if i start off with the canvas since I need it soon. then when it wears out i can retrofit maybe plastic onto it instead when $ allows. ---

There is a house a couple streets away from me that has that same Sam’s canopy and I haven’t noticed any difference in the way it looks over the last 4 years. I don’t know how long they had it before we moved in but they seem to be pretty durable. ---

This is kinda what I’m thinking. I don’t have the cash for anything better and I don’t want to make anything permanent because I might be moving.
