Need to buy a cover to throw over my buggy to keep the sun from ruining everything. I use to use a tarp to cover it but it’s a pain to take on and off and tie down. It sits outside and I haven’t had it covered the last 6 months or so and it’s looking bad. I happened to drive past a buggy sitting in someone’s driveway today that had a car cover on it and I realized that’s what I need. Any suggestions on a non expensive truck cover? I think a regular truck cover should work.
 
I've been getting $45 car covers off Amazon for the Skylark and they hold up as long as someone doesn't tear it. It'll last at least a year. The hard part with the buggy will be the winter when the snow wants pile up in the voids between the cage bars.

Thinking about @Bent77's comment, I wonder if you could do something with a cheap canopy. Wind might wreck that tho even if you tied it off good. Or I wonder how well something like this would hold up: https://www.harborfreight.com/autom...ages/10-ft-x-17-ft-portable-garage-62860.html

That garage has held up for 4, maybe 5 years for me. The cover is starting to go but it has held up through snow, rain, wind, whatever. I would not hesitate to get one again.
 
I use covers on cars and my raft. Been thinking about a cheap carport next to my garage to keep the weather off my softopper. Not enough room to my property line to add on, but a carport isn't permanent and should skirt the building departments rules.
 
We put up one of those carports for my buddys jeep. They last pretty well with wind if you throw a scew in at each of the slip together connectors. It really helped it not come apart with a decent wind. That and good anchoring on the feet.
