Part 1: Stable Heavy Steel Car Canopies
Metal car canopies are typically traditional permanent car canopies. They are typically made from either steel or aluminum. A steel car canopy is designed when the softness of aluminum is a problem. Steel can corrode in poor weather and acid rain but it has the advantage of being able to withstand high wind speeds, something which the softer aluminum has a problem with. It is cheaper than aluminum and is also used on a budget. Steel can often be painted to protect it from the elements, or the more expensive stainless steel which will not corrode. This is the most common metal car canopy you will find.
Part 2: Good Material Aluminum Car Canopies
The aluminum car canopies are designed for people who have a bit more money to spend and where their car will not be exposed to high and fast winds. Aluminum is more expensive than steel, but it will not corrode as steel will and it is easier to assemble. They can also be easier to disassemble if required. If you are not on a budget and do not have harsh winds, aluminum is the best way to go.
Part 3: Temporary Use PVC Car Canopies
A car canopy made of PVC is typically used in mobile applications; a car canopy which can be disassembled and reassembled with ease. They are often much lighter, but are not designed to stand on a long-term basis. They are cheap and cheerful and will work well for this purpose. An example of a PVC car canopy is below:
These are typically a good all-rounder for short to medium term and for camping trips and can also double up as a party tent! Over time the elements can damage these though so they are not good for long term or in high winds.
Part 4: Nice Home Stylish Wooden Car Shelter
Wood is another material often used for car shelter. They are often do it yourself kits and they can be used long term or erected as a temporary structure. These are great for a nice stylish addition to the home, or temporary car shelter for building sites, etc. An example of a wooden car shelter is below:
These are great for driveways, your home, building sites, or even a good addition to a log cabin! They are resistant to winds when built properly. When painted in a protective substance such as wood varnish or creosote they are resistant to the elements and can sometimes stand longer than some metal ones. Wood can be expensive or cheap depending on the material. Oak is very expensive compared to pine, for example and pine is the most common type you will see.Part 5: Qualified Portable Lanmodo Car Umbrella
