Portable garage

[Saucymynx]

I wasn’t really sure where to post this but this seems like maybe the right place. Do any of you have experience with portable fabric garages? I am looking at one from portable garage Depot. The prices seem very good but want to make sure the quality is there as well. I’m pretty sure I would want to upgrade the heaviest fabric. Also want to know if they can be moved around easily. Thanks!

What's the use case?

Even the best tents will collapse under snow.

location location location, without that, I certainly can not offer any advice. WIND and STRONG STORMS destroy these flimsy shelters.

Neighbor put up a Shelter Logic single car size. Went thru all types of securing anchors and hold-down weights. A bad storm in the Spring came thru at 65mph gusts overnight. In the morning it was GONE. Literally GONE. It blew 5 acres away and up into a very tall evergreen.

BTW, here is mine, not cute by any means. Survived 90mph winds. Yet the traps needed to be replaced.

Ideally, a Shipping Container 20x8 is ideal. The price is fair too including delivery.
Most places for sheds under 200sqft are free from permits and deemed temporary movable structures.
So taxes are not hit.

An example of the size, not the company, nor the girls. LOL

All of these are from TBN members on this site.

The use is actually for a portable sun and rain shelter for my sheep. I rotate pastures frequently and I want something that I can drag from one to the next. Yes, I am worried about the wind. They do sell extra anchor kits. As far as snow, I would take it down and store it in the winter.

Ah, now were talking the details.

Univ of Ky and Oxford Univ have shelter plans for livestock. I've made 3 types over the years from their free plans. You need a structure like a chicken tractor, but for sheep, yet movable.

I made this type once. Put wheels on the back and a fold down wood bar up front. Then with the tractor 3-point, hitched it up and drove it around for goats. This guy is working way too hard. LOL

Sheep, goats and taller for donkeys.

Maybe just buy calf huts or make them.

Most Amish shed makers can built this, but the price is about $3,500.

If you have the materials and skids, tractor pulling is easy.

If this is for long term use, it might be better to look at buying or building a metal run-in shed like bmaverick posted instead of fooling around with tarps that collect water, rip and tear and cause trouble during the worst weather.

If you are on a farm where funds are tight, look for one of these in the CraigsList FREE section.
