Automobile cover
I have this weird idea of making an automobile cover to protect my Nissan against the So. Calif. sun. Putting those silver screens in windshield, then moving them to back window, is not only a hassle, but doesn't protect leather interior from side sunlight. The covers sold in auto parts stores are much too bulky for small moi to rassle with each time I want to go somewhere. So I thought I would create a lightweight curved cover that can be lifted off in one piece -- at least big enough to fit over the roof and shade all the windows. I would take a white bedsheet and fasten it to a pair of curved ???? -- PVC is probably too flexible, so what should I use? Bamboo? Or? I want the framework to be rigid enough to \enable me to lift off cover in one motion. Am I stark raving mad, or could this fly? Or am I better off getting one of those canopy-type jobbies? But will they let sunlight in the sides? Criticism, suggestions (esp. for rigid members of curved cover eagerly solicited. You folks see right through problems! Higgs Boson |
