Built a portable garage
I'm about 90% done with this, hopefully will have pics up in a few days. The thing was a pain to put up, in the end it took 4 guys to get into place, I spent $400 and am questioning if it will hold up, some of the joints are very loose and you don't get enough bolts for every joint. They instructions aren't very detailed. I am going to get some tubes of sand to weigh it down, but I'm still a bit nervous, once you get the main tarp thing on it doesn't look cheap. I guess once we have our first really good rain I'll know if it was worth it.
Here is what it is suppose to look like. So hopefully I'll get close to it!

probably just the same size, a bit diff materials, i'll tell you right now that 20 feet long is about 6-8 feet too long... haha I guess you could store like off season tires or something else in there, I'm going to finish it sometime thursday
looks nowhere near as solids as the pics does, i would reenforce joints if possible, our backyard metal piping tent got owned by strong winds, eventually breaking at teh weld. it was cheap china made aluminum crap. GL!! looks good! beat parking it under sun.
Yeah, it will be a bit more tight after I finish it, it's not in an area that gets much wind. I will weigh it down, I figure it will last about 2-4 years, I only really need it for a year or two till I finish things up at school. I honestly think these things are a POS, and think that the picture in the ads are kind of like the ads for spray on hair for men. But it's going to keep the car out of the sun/rain/snow/bird poop... So I guess just protecting my investment...
I just start to think of what crap I could have bought for the what I paid on the portable garage *rolls eyes*
