We bought a used one, worked fine till the snow got piled up on it. RIIIIIPPPPP went a large portion of the roof, right on the 66 T'bird 
!!! The winds also have a some what damaging effect, they hit the frnt and start to unzip teh door and rip out the seams on the sides and frnt. Fixed the roof(HD tarp over it) and the seams are re-sewn /w HD thread. If ya do get one, make sure it is good quality, you cant see light through the roof and sides(like ours, material was too thin/worn/damaged) and that you position it so the wind dont hit it head on. Maybe it as couse ours was used, but I like it for workin on my rig and not haven to clean out the garage. I wouldnt use it forever, but just as a temp storage area.

At work, we have a tent made by Big Top, it is really heavy duty, and seems to be fireproof (many people have tried with grinding sparks). It wasn't effected by the snow this past winter, and seems to be ok in the wind. It's also bolted directly to the concrete it's sitting on, though.

Moisture can build up on the interior surfaces (and your stuff inside). A friend of mine installed a fan at each end (1 sucks in and 1 blows out) to help reduce the moisture. I think his main trouble was it was sitting on a gravel driveway. ...Terry
