    Car Shelter

    Needed a dry area to keep stuff that was not permanent, so I decided to go a Car Shelter. I know others on here have asked about storage or ways to keep your scrap hidden so here's a quick review.

    10' x 20' by about 9 1/2' tall at the peak. Cost was about $260 out the door, good directions and easy to set up by myself in about 3 hours. Has two windows on one side panel, two windows and a door on the other side panel and a large door in each end panel.

    Windows seal up nice with Velcro around the perimeter, and the doors have heavy duty zippers. Comes with small stakes to secure to ground but I would recommend something better to hold it in strong wind. I'm on slab or concrete ledge where legs are so Tapcons are used, it also comes with concrete anchors but they are more permanent then Tapcons.

    It creates a great space and good protection from the elements and sun. I have noticed on humid mornings that condensation forms on the interior roof but dries without dripping if you do not disturb it and ventilation helps to make it dry quicker. Set up time would be reduced quite a bit after the first time especially with help.
