    Anyone using a portable garage to store your maverick or other vehicle in? This is a tent like thing with a metal inner frame work. Just looking for feedback.

    I had a cover it garage at my old house. It was great. It's still standing 20 years later. The other brands that are cheaper are not as heavy duty.

    use and keep it up year around the original top is long gone took several years to learn how to fasten the blue tarps and not have them rip up also for the wind have it anchored with bolts to the concrete and to the fence on the side

    We have two. Snow piling on them has put stress on the metal framework, and ice has torn the canvas on one of them.

    I have used the Shelter logic brand tents with the 4oz Gray covers and after about 4-5 years the material starts to dry out and becomes more prone to tear. Also don't set them up near trees as even small branches that fall will poke small holes in them.
