If you have any trees spaced about 15 or 20 feet apart, you can string a 1/2" line (rope) tight between the two trees about 8-10 feet off the ground and then lay good 16x20 tarp (the silver ones from HF are pretty durable) over the rope to form a tent. Set it up so the 20 foot length is split over the rope to form a 10 foot long "roof" on each side and then the 16 foot length runs along the rope. I drive some stakes in the ground along the 16 foot sides of the tarp about three feet away and then connect flex cords to the tarp's grommets. Set up the position of the stakes to keep the edges of the tarp about a foot off the ground. This allows for good ventilation but will also keep the rain off. I can't say if this arrangement will hold up in snow and blizzard conditions but down here in the panhandle, it does the trick for keeping a tractor dry and not causing condensation on the sheet metal.
BTW, you need to secure the peak of the tarp to the tree (or 4x4 poles if you don't have trees) to keep it from creeping down the rope.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
