Only way I see feasible now are the metal pole frames with the material stretched over them. I can't think of the name or brands but failing a hard side garage it would seem a better alternative, depending on price.

I have not done this... but you could easily make a frame out of 3/4-1" PVC pipe to where it is wider, by a few inches over each side and end. Just make sure the pipe touching the roof is only the pipe and not connector pieces. Should be smooth /rounded enough to not cause issues.
