Carcoon (cover) for C63s Coupe

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with Carcoon's Drive-in Carport (or similar product)? Most of the online reviews I can find are regarding Carcoon's Indoor/Outdoor inflatable units.

I have a 3 car garage with the third garage being a drive-through garage. Behind that garage I have a pergola (covered area where I currently park the 63) which backs onto my backyard. My dog has complete access to the entire backyard including the pergola area.

Currently when the 63 gets parked underneath the pergola, its always under a car cover but recently its coming a bit of a nuisance (always needing to make sure the car is clean before the cover goes on).

I really like the idea of Carcoon's Drive-in Carport, you basically drive into this freestanding bubble(?), zip it up and turn it on.

63 is currently a spare/weekend car and my 3 garages are already being utilized. Also leaving the car uncovered it not an option as I don't want it getting covered in dust plus I want it kept away from my dog. Side note - when he was a pup, he chewed up the bumper of 1 of my other new car that was only 2 weeks old! so I still have that fear.....

I haven't had experience with them but have always wanted to get one, especially if you can use it like a carport and just drive in.

Are you thinking of getting one? Where are you located mate?

Bit of an eyesore, no? My HOA would never allow that in the driveway (and yes, HOA’s suck).

That would be awesome when at the Frio river for extended times to keep the crap off your car...lol...

Now if I could figure out how to drive around the millions of grasshoppers that cream the car every 1 second of the drive there. I have a lot of bumper damage from them.....

I would go with a car hoist in the garage if you have enough room.

I definitely want to get one but I was hoping to get some feedback first. With prices starting at $2k, their not exactly cheap.

I am located in Sydney, what about you?

A mate of mine has been using the indoor carcoon for last 3 years, he swears by it.

I know but I think it looks better compared to the outdoor carcoon (which reminds me a kids jumpy castle)

​​​​​ In my case it'll stay at the back of the house so I am not too concerned.

I did look into hoists a while back and realised my ceiling height is too low...
