portable garages?

Is the 8' measured at the peak or the cross beam?
Measured at the peak unfortunately, and its just tall enough for me, and my rig is little compared to most of them out there:crazy:

I dont think cinder blocks will be enough to anchor it in a real wind storm. Will be good for most of the time... but one good wind storm and over it will go.

I was hoping it would be. I mean, there's like 300lbs or concrete there :crazy:

Did you use the little blue pill?:haha:
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
So, what did you buy?
Where are the pictures?

Thanks.

I bought a ShelterLogic 12x20x8 garage in a box. I have some in progress pics from yesterday, but it was dark when we finished, so I'll get some this morning :wink1:



Never heard of these..time to research I guess...
 
mine was, along with when mike had it, anchored with a cinder block on every leg but the blocks where also buried in the ground. For mounting on concrete just hammer drill a hole or two for every leg (hilti) and get those inserts you hammer into the concrete and the bolt that goes in them
 
The end legs are L shaped, and the middles ones are straight, so I'd have to figure a way to anchor them somehow. Cable or rope from the bolts to the frame/leg?

I have had the unfortunate luck of finding out about high winds... twice. :doah:

I hope it never happens to me again. I think I am prepared now.

Oh, and I live in MI... not known for its high winds at all.

I would look at the anchors that you pound into the ground... whether it is into cement or into the earth, depending on what your foundation is.
 
Well, I got called into work, but I snapped some pics on a cell phone and sent them to me at work, so I'll get them up ASAP.
 
subscribed... I replied asking for pics in the TCBF thread, then promptly ran across this thread. :rolleyes:
