Default Re: Help with a floor in a portable garage

I also had a storage problem and couldn't build another garage without variances,etc. I had stone next to my garage and used that to level 4X4's that I put a deck of 3/4 PT plywood over. To this I fastened down the cover-it garage. I still found I had condensation from the difference in air from inside/outside. I put vents in front and back which helped. I had a couple wind and rain storms and no matter how tight I got the ends, they would blow in and things got wet. I ended up making a plywood wall in the back end which I then put the cover-it end over. In the front I put a sill that prevents the water from coming in. Lastly, I used insulation sheets about 3 feet wide ( used to cover heat ducts) and taped them together with alum tape. I put this insulation between the cover and ribs of the cover-it. No more condensation and everything is dry. Of course, all of this cost way more than the cover-it!
