I'm not sure how you are resisting the impulse to fabric wrap this, even if just in painter's plastic drop cloth.
I actually have a roll of the cling film they use to wrap pallets of stuff that I was going to use, with a heat gun to shrink it into place. This has been dragging on for some time and yesterday I beat the rain by about 0 minutes. I may still do it.

I didn't cut off those uprights because I was concerned using the coping saw would pull staples all over the thing, and I didn't glue the joints because it's supposed to be temporary. I may save the back half and fit it to the Superbeetle for some coast-down testing.

It's less than 16ft. That's how long the redwood strips are.
