Hehe.. That's cute. Probably would stop the rain but not much else.
Here are some portable garages. Neighbor had one for a while and it
stood up real well to light snow (we don't get more than about 3" at
a time) and hail (quarter size).

And the bottom one even has a Jeep in it. :D
Of course the big ones arn't cheap. Still dunno how it would
handle a heavy snow load, but they are build strong.

Re: The Jeep has been banished
Almost forgot these folks
http://www.alaskastructures.com/
Now those are some serious portable structures.
Of course they come with a serious price tag. :(
Ever considered building a covered driveway or a
garage in your back yard?

Re: The Jeep has been banished
Although we don't get much snow, I bought my jeep garage at costco,
$299.00 Canadian, it has a more peaked roof then the one you showed,
probably about a 7-12 pitch compaired to the adverage house roof of 5-12,
and being slick plastic I doubt any snow would stay on for long, we only got
one 4" snowfall last year so could't tell you, but I just can't see it
staying on there.

Re: The Jeep has been banished
Whatever you choose, be sure that the 'cover' does not trap water on
the inside of the cover and ON the paint. With long term storage with
trapped water the paint will 'lift' from the primer necessitating a
repaint job. Especially stay away from non-porous membranes or
'films' such as polyethylene, etc.
When covering for long term storage ..... NOTHING should touch the
paint except air.
You dont want to know how I know this sad fact. Most paint
manufacturers will verify and validate this statement of NOTHING
touches the paint except air when long term storing.
