When I ran out of garage space, I bought a 12'x20' car storage structure/shelter made of reasonably heavy metal frame-work and heavy plastic cover and screw into the ground anchors. Zipper doors on each end. I placed a treated wood floor of 2"x6"'s over a couple of layers of plastic onto the dirt earth. That discourages bugs and moisture. I built it behind my permanent garage and inside a 6' fence. Very little storm danger. More worry about falling branches, however. I ran 110-120 volts out there for lights and tools. I placed the floor to end outside of the plastic cover. Maybe 3" outside the plastic. The first morning out there I found the inside of the ceiling-roof covered with moisture which dripped down onto the car. In New England you have big fluctuations of temperature and relative humidity. I bought a 6" 110-120 volt ac fan and built it into the plastic wall structure to expel the shelter air. The fan has been running around the clock for a number of years and keeps moisture from condensing on the car etc. It helps keep the car's metal temperature the same as the air temperature resulting in no condensation. Works great except, over a period of weeks or months, you can see on the surface of a waxed clean car, a film of New England pollution or film of something or other. When my cover wears out I will just buy another. For me it was a good investment. I would advise buying one of good quality and not a cheap one since there are a number of manufacturers on the market now.
