IN THE GARAGE Outdoor Car Shield - Inflatable Car Cover and Storage Bubble 18' / 5.5m

I moved my 1972 Triumph Spitfire from my mother’s garage to my house but I don’t have garage space for it, this looked to be a possible answer. I figured that renting a storage unit to keep the car in would be my only other option as I did not want to leave the car outside. I would only be able to rent a storage unit for 4 to 5 months for what this cost me so I thought that it was the way to go.It was an easy setup and it seems sturdy. The Spitfire does drip some oil so I put a flat pan and some cardboard under the car as I don’t know if the oil will affect the material. I also put a cover over the car so that when pulling the bubble over the car, the paint wouldn’t get scratched.The bubble has 6 D-rings to allow for attachment to the ground. The instructions say that the bubble can withstand 22 MPH winds, I assume that is without using the tie-downs. I bought ground anchors and made 6 tie-downs out of 1/4” nylon rope with a steel snap ring at each end. During winter here we get winds far in excess of 22 MPH so I’ll see how the bubble holds up.A plus for the bubble over a storage unit is that the bubble will keep out rodents. Time will tell if this purchase works out well for me and the car.

Needed a controlled environment for older vehicle. Had problems with mice getting into vehicle.

I live in New England and I needed this to store my car for the winter. I installed it on my side lawn. The next weekend we have a nor’easter with winds up to 50 mph. It took the wind fine without a problem. It is a pricey investment but the car is safe. So far I’m very happy with this product.

I have had one for two+ years, and store a classic car outdoors due to space limitations. It has been through wind, hail, 12 to 110 degree+ temps and ice. No issues. Several times it has protected the car from hail, debris, small branches, etc. I have looked at all of the available alternatives, and other than an actual garage, this is the best option. Note that it is heavy due to the material used. So I am always careful to roll it evenly on and off. Easy for one person to handle. Also, the directions clearly state to use your regular car cover, even while in the bubble. So, I use my cloth regular dust cover and have never had any paint or marring issues. Takes about 10 minutes to put on the cloth cover, position the bubble, zip it up and plug it in. Regarding others comments about condensation, the concept here is that the movement of air via the inflating/ventilation fans, keep the car at the same temp and humidity level as the surrounding air. So no condensation of the car via changing temps (think of your cold glass on an hot day). But if it is very humid outside your car will be very humid inside. However, unlike waterproof heavy covers that trap that humid air underneath, here the fans blow it out as the weather dries out. Not perfect, but much better than water proof covers which trap the humidity until you uncover it. And if you really want no humidity you are going to have to get an airconditioned garage. Finally, after 2+ years, mine shows no wear or indication that its days are numbered. Not an easy accomplishment in harsh Texas weather.

The PVC scarred the paint on my car in the places it touched after deflating. It seems that after being exposed to moderate sunlight, the cover got hot enough to burn the cover's pattern into the car's paint. Maybe cooling off the cover with water first might have avoided this issue, but it's too late for that.Even if it didn't damage the paint, the process of covering the car is risky. The cover is heavy; which causes it to drag across the top of the car, which increases the risk that the zippers come in contact with paint.If you use this bubble, I would strongly recommend another breathable cover on the car that can protect the car from the bubble.

This car bubble provides great protection from the weather and from animals for my 1966 Austin Healey 3000. It was easy to set up too. Gave it 4 stars because it's a little cumbersome to zip and unzip but otherwise it's really a great option when you're lacking garage space.

when you call they answer the phone and they were able to answer all my questions, its been up for a month now and works great and does not touch my chevy ssr and saved thousands from renting portable rental places,I would recommend it to any one

Not too hard to put up. Help from a friend makes it easy. Did not eliminate condensation. Just took my car out for spring and found condensation from front to back on the floor. My rotors were rusted which I thought wouldn't happen.While in use It did not stand up as much in photos. It was very round instead of flat on the sides and top as shown in the pictures.Overall, it's better than a fitted car cover but at a premium.I would suggest using a soft cover for your car while inside to help protect from marks while putting it up and taking it down.
