Parking your Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

MeggiemobileSFLA · 04-08-2007, 01:34 PM

Anyone NOT have a garage to park in? Im looking to get a collapsible carport thing so i can be protected from the FLA sun and bird crap... It has to be able to come down during hurricane season though so it doesnt go blowing down the street. I guess im gonna check home depot. Anyone else with this problem?

Ive been looking and they seem to range rom $250 CND and up depending on size ect.

If you can't find something you like you could always go with a car cover instead. Then you'd have year-round protection.

but when you put a car cover on a dirty car you get problems right? sand and what not rubbing between the paint and the cover?

I don't worry about it.

Not if you get the expensive car cover ranging over $200 dollars.

And wash your car before putting it on.

Get a kiddie pool from the toy store... a liftback should fit nice under one.

You could almost just slip a 50 gallon garbage bag over it.

IF your looking to get a "portable type" garage thingy. Try one of those Instant Garage ones. I have a larger type unit that I use during the snow storms. It's for two cars/trucks. Other than that I park outside (or in it if I feel like it).
I know you can get one for our YARIS size for maybe somewhere around $500.00 (I've had mine for about 4 yrs./no problems). Pricing may have changed since I'm sure. You can always remove the cover for your hurricane season/s if you have to. Mine I cannot because of its size. Smaller one you can. Just try a Google search....Instant Garage and you'll find info. Best part on end is I don't have to pay taxes on it!

Good Luck!
