Hangar -v- outdoors

For the cost of 3-4 months hangar rent you could get yourself a very impressive custom built aircraft cover and then you could leave it at your closest field and not be concerned about it.
Depends how much you value your aircraft.

Fat lot of good a cover (no matter how very impressive) is when interior temps reach 50 plus deg C during the summer months.

One day arrive and find it has hail damage or upended from a severe storm, stinking interior and water in the fuel tanks from heavy rain, eventual expensive avionics issues from moisture entering the cabin and finally the greater potential for internal airframe corrosion, particularly during periods of high humidity.

Nothing like being able to comfortably sleep when you know that your pride & joy is hangared and protected when severe storms are about.

Your choice.
