No, it’s still mine.
I’ve just got tired of paying for storage every winter.
After last season’s tank siphoning, I’ve given up on trying to find a good storage facility.
For about the same amount of money as a season’s worth of storage, I picked up a Shelter Logic.
3-hour install time, my ass.
I put together the frames and anchored most of them in one day.
Finished the anchors a week later…yesterday.
Then, finished it the next day..today.
It’s a 10x20.
The New Porker fits fine. Just.
Assembly instructions miss one or two bits of info that are pretty important.
That made it all less than ideal.
Looping the garage opening end panel over the l-shaped feet seems like an obvious thing after you don’t do it because the instructions don’t even mention it, but you see it when you’re trying to tie everything down…
”Anchoring is the customer’s responsibility.” is an understandable position, but provide some ideas on how to do it well - especially for those end panel supports. I rigged some EMT straps that ended getting in the way of the ratchets, but it worked out. I guess.
I might yank it all down and start over next year.
I hate concrete anchors.
Hammer drills are beautiful things, though. I suggest getting one at the beginning of a project like this rather than when you have just one or two holes left to drill.
It doesn’t seem to be taught enough. I don’t know. We’ll see how it fairs over the winter.
I’m going to run a Yard Sentinel critter annoyance device inside, and try to plug up the gaps with wood, chewing gum, and a mix of belly button lint and wood glue. I’m not after hermetically sealed, but close… whatever. The storage places I’ve used were farms. So, I’m probably miles ahead even though we do have critter issues in the neighbourhood.
