He said he got it at Pepboys for 320. so my dad and i are hopefull going to get a garage from them this weekend. problem is, darrman said it was 12x26, which may not fit in the side yard :eek: , but it should.

Ryan - that's really sad, dude. :doh:

From how that storm beat us up down here in San Jose, I'm surprised that the wreckage is even in your same zipcode... I figured it would have totally blown away like a big ol' parachute!

Sure hope you can recoup some of your expenses and put it towards a more robust home for the bump. (Tuff Shed makes pretty nice little garages)

yeah it sucks. all the time and money wasted. i just cant wait until i get the garage that darrman has, (see paragraph below :D )

hey wt4speed,
i actually PM'd darrman a while ago asking about where he got it etc. he told me about it and my dad and i went down and looked at it at pepboys. were going back this weekend to buy it. the exact same setup as him. i cant wait!

mugwump-
the only reason it still is in the side yard is because I ripped the tarp off the night before the high winds. and the corners are cemented.

tomorrow :woohoo: :drive: :love: 8) :hd:

i now have 4 dents that need to be repaired by a shop. oh well.

right now i am actually just taking a break from working in the yard, getting ready for new garage to be set up. ive got it more level than before, all cruddy garage stuff removed.
im actually waiting for my brother to help me push the 69 a foot or two, so i can get the mats out from under the tires so i can throw them away.
its hard pushing a bump on top of gravel :eek:

:woohoo: :hd: :woohoo: :drive: :rock: :drive: :drive: :drive: :bow:
today my dad and i went bumpin' down to pepboys, i bought the 10 legged, powdercoated steel framed, nice canvas material, 12x26 ft shelter 250 . and i also got the enclosure kit for 100. the total was 370 ish.

well my dad and i put it together :) 8)


very easy to put together! you lay out all the peices (had to move the 69) in the way that they will go, connect them all, put the roof peice on, tilt it one way and put a few legs on, tilt it the other way and put some more legs on. then put all remaining legs on. then use bungies to put on the sides and front/back.
the only complaint i have is that the sides of the enclosure kit dont go long enought to fit perfectly snug :x . there is a inch of open space on each side of the walls :( . now i cant put tools in the corners yet. but i plan on putting some of the crud old tarp and patch those corners.

23 pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!------------------------

first, heres my ouchy that i got running into the wheelbarrow :oops:

Awesome Ryan! :thup:

Man, what a difference.
You've almost convinced me into getting one for my boat.

Are the tarps/panel standard size? (For ease of replacement when they wear out)?

im not sure what you mean on that one :hmm:


yeah, i have full trust in it now :D since everyone has told me it will survive greatly, and we just had some heavy hail and rain and there was not one drop of water inside, and the hail didnt do anything. no rain even in the corners!
oh and i made review in the vendor-feedback section :thup:
