Hi Astro-Angel,

I have the 12" dobbie as well and I haven't come up with another method than the springs. Mind you, I haven't needed too.

If no-one else has an answer I will try to come up with a simpler method.

It is probably not a good idea to just wrap the dobbie in tarp and leave it outside. I would be worried about the base absorbing too much moisture from the air (depends on where you live) and the Tube rusting. It would be better to put the whole thing on wheels, roll it in and out of a shed or garage when you use it and keep it covered in the shed.
