Maybe. But it needs to be able to withstand any weather (particularly wind)

Thought of that. Unfortunately they have tree preservation orders on them.

What about those shade cloths permanently anchored to a pole or two and typically to a corner of a house or school to form a large triangle for shade. That might be a little less attractive to thieves....??

Hmm. Interesting. never seen one of those. I think I'd prefer something which I can drive in and out of without needing to move anything.

why fabric? Can't you make a simple car port?

Excellent. That's more like what I had in mind. But didn't know what they were called!

A quick search on shade cloth has given me some ideas. (eg Shade Sails UK, awnings, keep cool this summer its going to be a scorcher!)

I would be extremely cautious about anything that's going to be left unattended.

If something comes loose in a strong wind overnight God knows what damage it might do to your car, flapping about ...

Take your pick

They come big enough to park a tank in.

Properly made and installed they are very strong indeed. That one in the Cafe above isn't, it should really be three pointed and set so water doesn't accumulate. Looks like a flapper too. But you can get them absolutely stable and long lasting if done correctly. If you know you are going to get a severe storm you can take them down very easily........
