there is some serious rain here in FL. If the wind doesnt get above tropical storm weather lol....It never gets wet under the canopy. I have about 2 ft on each side of the car.

IDK maybe it is the design. It doesnt jsut end on at the top of the posts. It kinda wraps down about 14-18 inches. Maybe thats why. either that or it has dried before I got to see any water. I mean next time it rains Ill look again but Im pretty sure the ground a foot around the car stays dry.

I can't imagine using a canopy and have a ferocious gust of wind knock a canopy leg onto my car... I vote for breathable car cover. jmo

If the canopy is closed you should be golden....if not then the canopy and the car cover (a great one)

I'll tell you right now, the enclosed canopies that can withstand the winter weather are not cheap. I looked into it because Pep Boys had a canopy for $200, but it wasn't meant for winter use.
