If you just put cars in it, it would hold 7 comfortably. You could shoehorn 4 more if you didnt want to walk between them. Fully insulated.forced air gas heat.R 17 garage doors. Will hold 70F in -15. Racecar gets two spots front to back has fab area and hoist. Boat goes down middle, Wifes car and Iroc front to back on right side. Shop is right outside the back door I'll never leave this place

How has this setup been for you? Have you had it long?
I cannot do anything permanent next to my garage, but I do have enough room for this.
And this is the exact one I have been contemplating for the last 2 years
Any moisture or heat problems in it? Snow load or wind issues?

Mine for 1 more week. Then into heated basement garage at our house we close on at the lake next Wednesday. This is a 35' Shelter logic that handles wind and snow, cost like 3200 which is ridiculous for what you get. But not having it is out of the question.

I had one for a few years, and no issues. We don't get the snowfall you do, but even in several good storms, mine did fine. I do recommend the round top version though; as that's what I have experience with. I bought mine "used" as it came with the storage spot I was renting when I lived in the DC area. When I sold it do another OSO member years ago, it will still in sound condition.
Also, notice the ground contact area on the one pictured. You want the kind that flares out at the ground. This way the wind can blow through and around the structure. The alternative is the material wraps under the metal frame. This chafes against the ground, and also does not allow the structure to breathe as well.
But first, what do you mean by "permanent"? Or what does your locality or HOA mean by permanent? You could potentially do a pole barn, which does not require a foundation. These buildings are almost always classified as agricultural buildings, since all they are supporting is the outer frame's weight. There are no weight bearing beams or floors, etc. etc. Technically and literally, pole barns can be dismantled piece by piece pretty easily.

For those who lack space to build a garage or have an HOA that limits what you can do. You can buy or lease one of these: http://westlyndenstoragecondos.com/ Since selling a building, lost space. My brothers had furniture and cars in there, as did my parents and myself. Plus we have some equipment and regular storage wasn't large enough. These storage condo's are designed for boats and RV's. We found it cheaper to get a large unit VS renting several storage lockers at a storage place. It is also cheaper VS building a large prefab steel building. These places are popping up all over the place here.
