Ok it's NOT V's Garage, BUT it's something, WOO HOO !!!

PITA to put up but the results are worth it imo












As you can see it got dark and the ground is frozen SOLID, hopefully tomorrow it'll warm up and I can sercure the legs.

Man this thing is cool, and for 200.00 you cant go wrong, WOO HOO !!!!
Thanks for the Idea V (Thumbs Up)

I'm finally building a shed tomorrow....but I don't think my L will fit in her! However, I'm hoping all the damn spare parts will!

Very smart Rob, and with a car cover it will do the job just fine, but man anchor it fast the wind is gusting tonight to like 20-25 mph tonight you can pound spikes into cold ground no problem and you don't want any damage from it moving.

Hey rob, that shed material matches the cover you had on. Looks good man. It will cover the elements but not the thief.

I know, I would rather have the SRT in the garage. It is worth more. That is in the insurance companies eyes.

Rob, one thing to keep in mind about that tent... it's not rated for snow load. Keep an eye on it when it snows. If snow accumulates on the top, it WILL collapse on the truck. I know first hand .

Those tents work well, I used one for several years with an old F150.

Thats a great set up with the fences to stop the wind.

At least with that for a garage your taxes won't go up ether.


Like someone else said. I need a storage shed to clear out stuff from the garage.

Is condensation a concern with something like that??? I need to look into one of those.

Rob, do yourself a favor and make sure thats thing isnt going anywhere. I tried staking mine into the ground and it blew over. Thankfully my truck wasnt in it at the time. Go to home depot and buy (8) 5 gallon pales and some cement. Put a pole in each bucket and fill it with cement. That way that thing isnt going to blow away. Also during the winter I roll the tonneu up and put a brace from the bed of my truck to the center pole running length wise in the roof. Just my $.02. Trying to help a brother out, I dont want to see you have to post "Oh that *^&%(*%%&ing garage blew over and my truck is all &%*&%ed up.
