WTB tent-style bike cover for C10

I'm planning to store my C10 outdoors starting very soon.  I have a spot where a drive on and flip over type of tent cover would work.  I remember seeing ads but didn't pay attention and haven't seen one lately.  Internet search has only one result so far, Quictent, in medium and large size.  l expect a C10 will need a large.
  Anybody have experience, opinions, and/or one to sell?
 
If you have space a nice tent or shed is great. The tent you list needs to have solid frames and anchor. Winds/snow will blow/break them. Know from someone else's experience.

But living in the city with limited space we have to consider other options. I have used cycleshell for a bunch of years. They have worked well for me.

I have also had friends build a shed in the backyard. They bought the plastic kits online somewhere. Those were great but I have no space for one.

 
I think the cycleshell is the one I've seen in the  magazines. The quictent will do the job but doesn't have a floor.
 
CycleShell is my recommendation,as I have 2 of them and 1 of the others that don't have floors. I got mine from looking through Craigslist since they are very expensive new.    Jerry Gaither
 
By the zoning code, to avoid getting a building permit (aka tax increase), we are allowed a single 100 square foot accessory structure with no permanent foundation.  We used that up already, and I'm guessing a regular bike cover with elastic on the bottom would be the safest option.  I think I used to store my stretch-on cover in my car when I was on the bike.  The tighter fit of a stretch cover is more attractive to rodents, takes effort to put on & take off, and I think it tore my license plate off once, or bent it enough so it fell off on the road.
  If I can reduce my non-riding chores by having a flip over cover I think it could be a slap in the face to the government even if it is in a gray legal area, but I could try one, maybe?
 
The CycleShells have a plastic or rubber floor but by no means could it be considered a permanent fixture.    Jerry
 
I bought an XL standard cover today, cost almost $100, slips on easy but after she cools off a little to avoid melting on the pipes and such.  Already got rained on, we'll see hoe the wildlfe likes it.  Now I have to re-arrange the garage & fill it with old stuff.
