Hard Top Storage outside under a carport

[Huskies91]

Anyone have any recommendations for storing a hard top outside under a carport. I don’t have a garage or basement. I have hothead headliners and am a little worried they may get ruined. I live on the ocean and our house gets salt spray when it’s windy. Tarp it? spray it down with anything? thanks in advance.

I live in Utah so it's probably different but I stored mine in the backyard on the ground for years. I just put one tarp on the ground and folded it up over the top and then put a tarp over the top and folded it down tucking it underneath the top. Everything was held down with bunjis. Would have to clean up a few spider webs in the fall but nothing major happened to it. I didn't have the headliners though and the salt may make a difference.

Scotch guard your hot head liner that will prevent mildew then buy a couple harbor freight packing blankets to cover will also allow it to breath

I once saw a guy using a which to store a hard top under the roof of his carport. He used to just raise it from the car, and it was right under the ceiling, secured with several chains.
But he had a strong carport from carport Australia, and I am not sure that any carport would be able to bear thing weight. It’s not that much, but still. It’s a question of security.
You can try to make something similar if you are sure your carport will be fine with it. I would suggest doing some calculations before installing a winch, so the roof does not fall.
