We live about 3 hours from where that particular brand is fabricated and only 5 miles from a local distributor. We're thinking about getting what they call their A-Frame design (higher wind rating), 18' x 26' with 9' high sides, open sides and ends. The quote they gave us is right at $1,500 for everything - "turn key" so to speak. We can enclose the sides and add overhead doors on both ends later, if we choose. So far, we're thinking it would be a worthy investment for protecting our new Escape with enough room for maybe a few other "grown-up toys" under there.

Have been reading all this with keen interest as I too would like to avoid the hassle of a cover. The metal sheds are cost effective, however Susan says no way due to aesthetics. Like the sail plan and hope John can work this out and share the details.

Unfortunately we dont have the space (clearances) for a prefab metal shed / roof / what ever.

no way, no how.
