So since my trikes now have to sit on the side of my house, all out in the sun, I need to get a canopy or something to put over them to protect them from the sun. Anyone got any suggestions? I want to eventually build a shed for them, but that's not going to happen for a while, so i need something to keep them out of the sun.

Also something that isn't going to cost me an arm. :)

I don't know your particular lay out Xpress but this is how I gained added storage. I followed the roof line of the 2 plus car garage down and done this.
if you look close you can see the old metal siding from the original garage, by the push mower handle.
It took me a few years to evolve to what I now have so it was not a over night thing by any means.
Might give you some food for thought for long term. I don't consider those canopy type systems long term.
Nice, yes they are but certainly not long term IMO.

check that out I am gunna get it and some anchors with some tiedowns over it should hold it down in our wind. its nice because it has a galvanized frame so when the tarp gets old you can just screw metal down into the frame and you will have a solid Quonset and a floor is easy 2 sheets of plywood and some 4X4 for a frame. and your good for the one I am getting they have other sizes.
