Looking to buy a car port suggestions please.

Hey everyone i'm looking to buy a car port and have no idea where to start. Here is what im working with.

I want to spend 500-800 $. I have the ability to spend more but would like to try and hit my target range.

I want something that's around 8-10' X 20 "

Its going to be located in a driveway so i would like to anchor it down to some heavy pressure treated wood.

I'm not sure what material i should get or what thickness steel i should buy. I'm leaning more towards a carport that would completely surround my car and not just a roof. With a Fabric type material.

Must be able to withstand snow until i take it off the day of.

Anyways i don't know anything about them so any input would be great thanks.

Just be carfull because my carport collapsed on my SS during a winter storm. Granted I got my 5000$ paint job because of it but it still sucked. If you can make sure you get something really heavy duty or one with a metal roof. I know Don had a huge one at his house for a long time.

Yeah I'm worried about that haha. Seems like no one really knows much about them

you get wgat you pay for. get one with a lot of ribbing/poles. the more expensive ones have a weight rating on them for the roof. KEEP the snow Off. if you shovel the driveway go in and bang the shit off the top that got stuck!

A relative bought one here:

He was very pleased with the quality and set it up in a few hours.
he had 3 walls aswell on the unit.
The unit worked great during that big snow we had a couple years ago.
DONT BUY THE CHEAP CLOTH COVERED CARPORTS!

I got a shelterlogic garage in a box 15x 25 ft I think and I I love it, been through idk how many storms on the cape and I got it on sale at bennys for 250, its usually 500 to 550 or so. I actually didn't know it was on sale till I went to buy it

how does it hold up from snow?

I got mine about 10 years ago. I forget any info of brand.

Important- anchor it through the driveway. I drove pins under the driveway to hold this down. It has never moved and takes all the snow. I haven't knocked the snow off in years. Last year the roof sagged(metal supports) about 2' and never let go.
