Portable Garages

I am looking to get some winter storage on the cheap. Has anyone used one of those "Cover It" portable garages. The kind you set up and anchor down?

They have a 2 car one for $1500 to 1700. I'd be getting one that was snow rated, since it will start snowing up here in NH soon...

I figure this would work for a few years, and I wouldn't be taxed on it either! Property taxes are killing me.... That and my vehicle addiction!

Thanks!

We just got some at work. The type that has 4 or 5 trusses out of square tubing. The metal roof holds them in position and curves down partway on the sides. I think they were about $1000.

Portable Building!

bimmerbill,

I have a 28 ft. square (approx.) building that is about 5 years old. It is in very good condition with no holes in the cover. The buildings structure is made from oval tubing and is very strong. The new purchase price was over $6 grand. I will sell it for much less if you are interested.
