Temporary Garage

Postby windmillnut » Fri Sep 07, 2007 4:50 pm

I only have a one stall garage. I have seen on this site pictures of what looks like temporary shelters that some of you have used.

Where are they purchased?

Thanks,
Brian

I built mine in a one stall garage. Tight but can be done.
Good day every day!

I made mine with some 1x2 for the framing and a 19' x 23' tarp for the roof hanging off of my shed. Just need some extra 1x2s to prop the tarp up like a teepee for proper rain run off.

I've seen them at sams 10x20 for around $200. I've been building mine in a 12x18 shed, but outside under an 18x21 carport when weather is nice.
