Storing outside a recipe for disaster?

[stevie_b]

To prevent condensation building you need the garage to be well ventilated/good airflow. Converse to what you might expect a well-insulated and well-sealed garage will encourage condensation. If it is sealed then a dessicant-type dehumidifier is a wothwhile investment. I don't bother with a car cover when it is stored inside.

Heated garage or damned decent outdoor cover, thats what im in the market for when mine comes back

The more expensive ones from halfords, mine was £75iirc. If you don't get 1 of those at the very least go & have a look/feel and use that as a comparison

Is renting a garage from the council or from a neighbour an option at all?

council and private garages go for around £25-30pcm around here


Either way, make sure you get a cover that's breathable
If you don't, the cover will allow condensation to form under it and the car will rot quicker that you can imagine
