So I’ve run out of storage and reluctantly will have to store the latest kart out in the elements. That being said, what are some solid options to keep the moisture from ruining everything?

What about one of those "portable garage" kits? They're real nice for things that you want sheltered from the elements, but don't really need to be indoors.

Get the wheels off the ground so the tires don't rot in damp soil, park up on treated lumber or a concrete pad. This vendor has lawn tractor covers, see what they have. Canvas will breath, I think that will help reduce condensation and mold that can occur under a plastic tarp.

I agree. Tarps are not a good idea.

Also, I have been using Gas Grill Covers. Not that I have or ever will own a gas grill (blasphemy in my parts).

They are breathable but keep the moisture out and come in a very wide range of sizes and shapes. I started using them by chance and have continued to use them since. Mostly on my bikes, but I have used a large on a Kart.

The good ones are expensive, but I've noticed they ain't really big sellers. The trick is to get them during the right before the grilling offseason (which doesn't exist around here). Most big box stores put them on clearance.

Last year I bought two really big & nice ones from Sam's Club on clearance for $9 each, regular price was around $50 each. :thumbsup:

Good idea on the grill covers! I’ll have to take a look around for a deal on a large one.
