cousin eddie has a roof over his head now.. finally got around to setting up the 10x27 king canopy garage. Since this canopy was made with 6'6" side walls, I had to buy 10' poles at Lowes. I pounded them about a foot into the ground and bolted every single connection. TSC has great deals on bulk bolts, I used about 70 1/4 bolts, nuts and lock washers... should be more sturdy that originally intended.

As you can see the RV sticks out a bit, I installed the zipper door after these pics and I am going to make some inserts to make it wrap around the nose of the RV.

Remember, this canopy was/is on clearance for $150! and $100 to ship it all. New poles cost me $80 so for about 6 months rental storage i'll have this paid off!

If your house works anything like mine, by the time you get that 2.5 car pole barn built you will be needing a 5 car pole barn.

might be... I saw an ad in the paper yesterday, they are auctioning off the old town highway dept. garage. I think it had 6 or 8 bays, some large enough for the RV... hmmm, that's temtping.

4x4 races next year as well.Always looking for more people. I'm hoping to have the 67 4x4 panel ready to make a trip there as well next year. Mine is a poor mans version of your camper!

Eddie is now up for sale, decided that we don't need the expense of another payment....

I've had a few bites but so far nothing solid.. asking $7900 as is or $8900 if I do the roof. we'll see how it goes...

SOLD

woohoo, made money on it too... good thing, the RV canopy now looks like a modern art sculpture... super strong winds whipped it into the neighbors yard overnight, probably because the RV was in the driveway and not under the canopy...

I don't have to put the roof on it this time either...
