"Rent a storage locker and take a kero heater with you." 12x32 $200 a month probably less up there

I will always have room for 1 Rover in the garage. I will toss almost anything to make sure there is a place to work or park. It's a must. Only this will never happen again. See Pic

Pic is to small lol got a larger version so we can see what you mean?

I will look into all the options suggested above. Unfortunately though I would like to add another inch or two to my already 2" lift....... so the problems will only grow taller I suspect. I also intend on getting a high profile SD roof rack.....

and one idea I had regarding those tempary tent garage things is adding lightweight aluminum paneling which would be fixed to the frame work. Keep the cloth on as well and that should take care of the water proofing and keep all the wind and snow out. Depending on where I relocate to later this year, could always use bundles of chopped woad stove wood to support the structure from the outside. Stack up woad piles on either side up about 6 feet high and that should add strength and stability to the unit.

Wood piles tend to attract mice in the winter around here. Same with straw bales. but whatever works for you. I have seen those big dome things they use on driving ranges (golf) that inflate and use warm air. I'd bet they would be expensive to both purchase and operate, but they wouldn't have any supporting structure to get in the way.

Could you elaborate on the dome thing because I have no idea what your talking about but Im very curious.

Your Own Inflatable Dome: Make It from a Kit | Modern Mechanix
Inflatable Buildings

Just to get a general idea. I have seen them used to cover football fields and allow students at the local community college practice in the winter.

Don't put in a foundation or else you get fined and you get taxes increased.
