Is There A Way To Shelter the Rock Climbing Machine?

This may belong under EPs, not sure. But ever since I got Seasons, my Rock Climbing machine keeps breaking. Yes, rain does it no good, snow is almost worse. Now they we've rolled back into Spring, the machine is still broken. It doesn't seem to matter how many times it gets repaired, either. Nobody has a chance to use it before it simply shorts out again. I have to say I've lost two butlers to the cause, too. Butler number three had to be diverted from his desire to repair the device — at least until the sunny days of Spring. This time around it's not raining constantly. I tried to build something on the order of a Green House, as for gardening, so that I could put a roof over the machine, but I can't place the machine inside. I do know there is a gym that has Rock Climbing machines inside, so what am I doing wrong. Or, is there some kind of awing available?

How do you keep your Rock Climbing machine in good order after Seasons?

Please, and thank you, in advance. Looking for any and all solutions. :)
