Bought a "Garage in box"

[DanCampbell]

OK,

I have my car under a car cover at the moment (outside) but I just bought a "Garage in a box" from Tractor supply 12X20

Not a wood structure but better than just a car cover.

Really looking forward to fixing her up.

I bought a sandblaster from a guy who hung tarps on the front and back of one of those and restored an old pickup truck in it! Pretty Cool!

This one came with roll up doors, should keep the weather off.

Take the tarp off if there's high wind forcasted, unless it's in a wind protected location,

and tie the poles down real well.

Mine flipped upside down into the neighbor's yard, lucky it didn't damage anything.

That should work out well for some protection. I'm happy with the one I bought from Costco several years ago for my boat. I think mine is 10x20 and it has front and rear doors. It has held up well for about five years now.

Welcome from coastal Alabama! I like the garage in a box & could use one or two of those myself.

Looks good to me. Just leave 1 of those doors open when sand blasting. Ask me how I know!

My brother has 2 of those they work well.

Thanks,

I put the metal frame up last Saturday and plan to finish this weekend, I thinking about floor options.

I was going to frame up some 4X4s maybe a 8X10 and put concrete stepping stones in it to make a pad to park the car on.

Wow!

That is great, never thought of that.

Have you ever used a floor jack on that floor? If so did you have any issues?

Great job!!

Use a floor jack all the time..Just need to place a square of plywood under the jack if your in between sleepers..If your on the sleepers it's not required

I like that garage in a box, I'd get one if Costco sold "Land in a Box" so I had a place to put the garage...

I got mine up yesterday, 12X20 so there's actually a little room to work all the way around.

Much better than a car cover for my needs.
