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.
I used 1-1/4" PVC, a few years back, to make a tent for my pontoon boat. When the daytime temperatures started hitting the 90's that PVC started sagging and formed into permanent bows. If you use PVC you will need to keep the unsupported lengths short.
