So, my landlord decides that he needs $2200 for the rent now, thats not going to happen. So we are moving, to a really nice place but with no garage.

IT does have a concete pad and a big yard in the back though.

What is the best way to store a car, and what are some fairly inexpensive car shelters, ahd what is the best way to store a car these days?

The Coronet will be driven. Just not to work and back. My work is actually moving to downtown Seattle, and i am not going to drive downtown or leave it in a park and ride, gonna get a cheap park and ride car.

Who makes a good portable garage/car shelter, maybe one with a front and back you can zip up?

If stored on the grass, do i put a plastic tarp down, then another tarp and may be some racedeck on top to prevent condensation?

What do you guys without garages do?

Sorry to hear that. In Kansas you could buy a 200K house for that kind of money a month. Anyway a portable garage may be what you need. Here is a site with some ideas. I'm sure there are other ones cheaper on the market as well. Good luck - http://www.sheltersofamerica.com/

Wow $2200.00 a month rent.  :o


Just make sure you anchor the portable shelter down really well as I have heard of those things coming loose during a good storm.

I rent a garage ("warehouse" was what it said in the ad). Check Craigslist. A lot of people around here don't use their garage or have garages at rental properties that they rent separately. The going rate around here is $40-100 per month depending on the location and condition. It sucks to not have it at your house but it's (usually) safer and less hassle than building something temporary (I tried that first but kept having water problems).

Sarcasm detector, that's a real good invention.

What about storage/garage facility? As long as it's wide/long enough for a car that's all that matters
