Here's mine, 40x60 with 20x40 living quarters. I rented my house out a little over a year ago and moved in here and it's the best thing I've ever done! Still finishing the bar, just mounted a 48in flatscreen last night and in the process of hanging plywood 8ft up around the whole shop.

Those walls are cool. Hope you have some wind braces (triangles at the corners) with those kind of winds. Great toy box.

Ben. Your set up is sick. I've always wanted to do what you are doing. Your ceiling panels are cool too

How do you like the tent? I was thinking about one of those. I was thinking that route to avoid taxes going up where I'm at. One concern I have though is I'm going to need one that will handle snow (Chicago).

Thanks

It was great when I couldn't afford a garage....but it's no substitute. Like anything, installation is key. Secure it well, treat the zippers with lube since I found they eventually fail, and put plastic water barrier down on the ground......these thing suck tons of moisture out of the ground. Sun is the next thing to worry about. The frame has lasted 10-12 years, with many more to go, but the cover has been replaced since mine gets full sun.

fyi: The round tops cost more but would shed snow better. Mine is an "A" frame and will hold snow.
