I didi not get on well with a straight car cover and so got one of these: https://www.canvasandnylon.co.uk/portable-garages/ <https://www.canvasandnylon.co.uk/portable-garages/>.
It was good over 10 years so last year I bought a second one. My type are the perambulator style. The frame holds the cover clear of the car body and there is ventilation. Beneficial winter or summer. Works well on the front of the house with no permissions needed. I did use some good ground anchors and even gales will not shift them. One of the ground anchors holds the folded over section closed to the ground with a padlock.
