If you do a 'Folding Garage' search on Google there are some useful possibilities.

Have a look at Machine Mart - they do some useful looking 'garages' (https://www.machinemart.co.uk/c/sheds/).
i don't have one but did consider it.
Does anyone have any experience of them?

May I refer you to the "I don't know much about art" thread John. There was a useful car cover shown there!

You asked the same question earlier this week.

Insurance companies don't like people who have to park on the street. Unfortunately a garage seems to be essential if you want insurance you can afford. This rules out so many who live in villages and larger towns where housing was built for a workforce who could only dream of personal transport. Our village High Street is only just wide enough for an ox-cart because that was the largest vehicle likely to need thoroughfare. I regularly see huge cattle/sheep wagons inching past each other and herringbone tractor tyre tracks actually touching threshold weather bars. Windowboxes are regularly torn off.
Urban areas, built before mass car ownership, that had wide streets now have to live with single car road width as both sides of most streets are blocked by cars...
Bring back cycling !!!

Actually I was quite surprised when insuring with RH - I told them the car would be parked in my drive, but out of sight of the road - and the premium was no greater than had it been garaged.
RE: Car Covers - Peter Naulls - 11-12-2024
That surprises me too Chris, my RH policy states that both cars must be garaged every night whilst at home. I must live in a dodgy area!
