As the title states, I need more storage space for the "off season toys" and am looking at putting up a portable shed/garage.

10x10 or 10x12.... who makes the best quality for the money? where have others bought them?

Thanks!

Do you mean one of those tent style garages? Mine is a logic something 10x20. I'd buy another one. It has been set up since May 2009 and no signs of wear.

that's exactly what I mean Darcy.

I bought a shelter logic from Canadian tire. 12x20. The tarp lasted 4 yrs. but my own doing I had it a little to tight and it shrunk and ripped. But I bought a replacement tarp kit from them for 200. So should be good for another 4 yrs

I bought a 11x20 from Costco in Red Deer 4.5 years ago ( $250.00 ), it was easy to put up by myself and the grey tarp it comes with. Is still in like new condition, I would buy another one!

But then I went a little further..... I had a 8x20 skid left here by the previous owners, so I shot down 3 5/8 track 16" O/C. placed 10' 2x4 on flat and sheeted with 3/4" OSB. then built the tent around the skid. On the inside, I strapped out the wall's with Furring Bar and sheeted with 3/8 OSB. At the entrance, I did a double door. 1 - 2' and 1 - 4' that all locks. At the time I was working in RD and just wanted to keep the honest people out.

What about a seacan? They are a little more money but last forever and are water poof mouse proof and farly burgler proof! You can custom order them in different sizes and with role up doors.

I would need a helicopter to get a Seacan into my current yard. I'm going portable/tent garage because we can take it with us when we decide to sell this place and move on.

Thanks for all the input so far. I may have to check out Costco one evening this week.

Tyler, brew_doos step dad imports these metal buildings from china. About the size of a seacan but they break down into 4 or 5 pieces for transport. takes about an hour to assemble and they are secure like a seacan 4 walls, floor and roof. don't know what they cost and Chet is on a bike trip in the states until late this week. should shoot him a PM.

Make sure to check your local regulations as some towns and city's do not allow the tent structures
Where I live in blackfalds there is a bylaw against them and you are fined right away for putting one up

Not everyone can afford $5000 for a sea-can. JS

Seacans are quickly becoming an affordable storage solution Darcy I've seen them online now delivered for under 2000
