Wheeler only parking

Chad kept his toy in a Costco garage for the better part of a year. It rusted outside pretty significantly.

Just a thought.
 
Just need a light bulb that isnt led to give a little heat and it should keep it dry-ish...

Ya and one reason I was thinking of using a 2x4 along the top would give me a good spot to mount a couple bulb fixtures..
 
I was going to bring up old billboard tarps and I see cisco linked them. I want to use one for a garage for my van and the Mustang if I can get it up here.

For the ridgeline and side purlins I was thinking of using pvc pipe as it's more cost effective than metal and will still hold up just fine. What diameter/size pipes are they?

Like around 1"
 
Time to get stuff done..

I started prepping the ground and after 5 mins of trying to do it by hand I grabbed the tractor and got it done allot quicker. It was already pretty flat but there were a few humps I was able to work out....

And got the hoops roughly set into place.. I need to adjust them to where I want them and get a 2x4 for the top support next. But its looking like something now..

So I ended up getting some 3/4 water pipe since I didn't have anything laying around that would do what I wanted. I also grabbed some U bolts and up to $65 out of pocket.....

So To secure the hoops in the base I simply drilled and tapped the base tubes..

If we ever get a good snow again it will be hard to clear it off the one side. Other than that it looks great!
 
I like the structure, but agree that snow is going to wreak havoc. You don't want the weight pinched there between yer buildings..
