Dru I have posted this is the past and what I use and its fairly
resemble is a Costco Car Shelter. I would have used two units put
together end to end but I do not have the room for this configuration.

The only reason I used only one was because I did not have enough
room for the second cover as it would have extended into my driveway.

I used 10 ft electrical conduit pipes cut in haft to make 5 ft and
then after putting up the cover I just slid the 5ft pipes into each
leg of the car shelter. And then I slid the original pipes up till
they were around 4 to 5 ft oft the ground. This made it about 12
high on the sides and about 14 ft in the middle. It really worked
out great for me and at a cost of a little over 150 dollars its
pretty cheap to construct. I have had no wind problem with it blowing
over or anything like that as it is staked into the ground with the
original ground pads. On the ends since I my motor home extends past
the shelter I just used a heavy tarp to add the proper length so it
was protected in that area.

As far as how long the material will last? I have had a few of these
shelters and they seem to last about five years. I think when its
time to recover this unit I will just get a large tarp and then just
recover the whole thing.

Works good and keeps the old Rebel Bird cool and dry under my cheap
little car port.
