Abstract

Portable cover for vehicle has foldable frame with weather resistant flexible sheet. A ground-rail on each side of the vehicle includes support bars redoubtably mounted on the ground-rail, the bars supporting the weather resistant sheet and being connected over the top of the vehicle. The redoubtably mounted bars are arranged in pairs so that they can be folded over the vehicle, or folded down to the ground beyond the ground rails. For larger vehicles, each ground-rails includes a track, and the support bars are mounted for sliding along a portion of the length of the relatively parallel tracks. Flanges mounted on support bars at the ends of the ground-rails receive wheels of the vehicle for anchoring down the portable cover and for fastening down an end of the frame when it is closed over the vehicle.
