I know, I know. Hangars are preferred, I get it.
Hangars are also hard to come by where I live. I'm closest to VKX and 2W5 - on the waiting list for a hangar at 2W5 but I'm pretty far down and there's a good chance I might acquire an airplane before then. VKX hangars go up for bid from time to time and ye Gods, they go for princely sums...
Anyway. This is more about outdoor storage....
I know companies like Bruce's make custom full covers for the airplane, and while I know a hangar is most preferred....do any of you store your airplanes outdoors on tiedowns? Besides covers, do you do anything else to preserve/protect the airplane?
Getting closer to full-bore shopping mode and want to understand what I might be able to do, given that my storage options will be more limited.
(EDIT - I may consider storage at HEF or JYO but those are pretty far down the desired list. I'm also part of a club at GAI and I really, really don't want to keep a plane there.)
