If you have no garage to work in, you might try using a big blue tarp.

Run a clothesline high above your work area (not in a ditch) put the tarp over the line & use rope to pull the corners down to some tent pegs.

You want to get the biggest tarp you can, up to like 20'X30'. That should be plenty big.
