Will 2.6m be enough to cover the car do you think Dave?
Will need to get some rope as well.. £35 on amazon for the 3m by 3m though..

Thinking about it, it must be bigger than 1.3m as that is really small, I think it was actually 3m. Out of stock at the moment though.

A better solution may be to buy a tarpaulin and work out some way of supporting that above the car.“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

I have exactly the same problem and it is a bit annoying. I hope it doesn't last long and those things stop dropping off the tree. It has only recently started up, so I really hope it's not for the rest of the year. I haven't tried a car cover, may try it.0

Well at least I'm not the only one!
Someone should invent an easily erect-able special car tent type thing which doesnt cost more than £300!!! Surely not that difficult![FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]"The internet is a great way to get on the net."

It's a right bug-bear of mine for ever having to wash the car, and it's sticky as a sticky thing.
Got no choice but to park under them, like yourself.0 -
