Fabric as sail

Now, this might sound odd but think about the possibility. All of us have folds of varied fabrics lying around in our closets, ones that are not going to be used any time soon. Why not utilize a sturdy and thick fabric and turn it into a sail for your car parking porch. Your fabric of choice needs to have strength and resistance, as car parking shades come in direct contact with heat and rain, not to mention gales of winds that can wreak havoc on the material. Another idea is to buy a relevant cloth that is commonly used for installing tensile structures. Such fabrics have an uncanny ability to withstand heat, rain, wind, and other environmental factors.

Make use of old wooden Blocks

When our house went through a renovation a few years down the road, we bought long and broad wooden panels for the laborers to stand on while they paint. Years later, these wooden piles are still morosely sitting in our garage, without a purpose in life. When I was thinking through ideas on how I can create an affordable and sturdy car parking shade in Thika for my small car, which used to be parked in the open air backyard, I thought of using these wooden sheets and installing them with four supports on each side so that a shade could be formulated to provide a shelter for my car in the harsh heat. Just a few labor overheads, and my shade looks as good as new. You could do it too with any wooden sheets lying around in your backyard or storeroom.
