As a quick cheap fix, can you attach a tarp to the house and slope it down to a
fence or some posts on the other side of the car? I would keep it about a foot
above the car to minimize wind driven rain from the sides. I'm thinking you
might want to leave the ends open so the moisture will dissipate.
I would use a heavier duty tarp, not a cheap blue one.

Hi List,
So I live about 200 feet off of the beach. My Morgan has fared okay
protected in my garage. Now I have my TR3 over and so I had my Morgan parked on
the side of my house under a new Sealskin waterproof car cover. I had it under
a cover for a month during recent heavy rains. The cover wasn't as waterproof
as I had hoped and the car was drenched and rust had sprouted out of places
where there wasn't rust before being put under the cover. I have rented space
in a warehouse for $160 a month and will keep one of my cars there and will
alternate cars every couple of weeks. Hopefully, I can come up with a better
solution before this gets too expensive.
I have a side yard on my house with just enough space to park a TR or
Morgan. I have been looking for some sort of outdoor enclosure to keep them dry
and protected. A 6 by 15 foot enclosure would be ideal. I have been working on
designs and it will cost a bunch and take a while to come up with something, so
the warehouse buys me time. It can't be a permanent structure because of
building ordinances.
Anyone have ideas for a solution?
