shelters/temp. garages

[phester]

I am strongly considering one of those heavy canvas type, round top, car/boat storage garages. I feel, for my needs, something like that would be perfect....no more covering and uncovering after each time out, no sun beating down on it, no rain/leaves and of course a great place to have it in during its winter hibernation. Any of you fellas have/had/want something like that? I just started looking around the internet, so additional info/feedback would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!

I was thinking hard about one of those metal roof type shelters. During the fall I'd put some tarps on the sides to enclose it. I think I can nab one for around $600.

How much is the thing you're talking about?

Phester, I've thought of doin' same...concerned about weight of snow and in general, how long that investment will last...BR's metal top is more direction I'm thinkin'....

I think if you go with this rounded top style, snow wouldn't be a problem, looks like it slides right off.

I wonder what kind of sunscreen I need in Florida this time of year?

Tin, saw the one you posted, I think it's by "Shelterking"....rounded top is the way to go,snow load will just slide right off measurments are 14W x24L x12H, that particular one is 749.00 w/ all the bells and whistles. [Similar are advertised for less,however, it does not include some of the hardware or both zippered doors on either end ect.ect.] RAP,depending on the amount of natural abuse from the elements, they're are boasting 7-10 years longevity on the fabric/cover. I may need to go a bit longer than 24',hopefully not because then it would be considered "custom", which will add probably 25-30% we'll see.

Hey Franco maybe you should shovel out you drive LOL and throw out some salt LOL. The Sand storms may get deep lol.

[phester]

Franco, you sure know how to rub it in

That canvas top is going to cost you 8 bucks a month for the rest of your life.

Figure 7 years at $700 is $100 per year. So $100 divided by 12 months is $8.30 per month for the rest of your V20's natural (or refurbished) life.

I do like the looks of the canvas top though. :)

Probably the same we use up here when hitting the ski slopes!

I'm probably one of the few to move away from Florida because of the weather. 6+ months of that heat and humidity, no thanks. To each his own, I guess.
