Re: Wanted - tent.
Hi Ben, I think you inadvertently omitted the word 'again' at the end of your first sentance? 
Anyway I was in Machine Mart the other day and noticed some 'instant Garages' for sale, but did not check their sizes, worth a website check?

Ben,
will be worth looking at Dancover and RUBB, although they tend to be a bit bigger. Machine Mart tends to be more hobbyist and small size. Not intending to teach you to suck eggs, but in case it helps: the size you describe seems small - for a 9'/3m wide boat, I would have thought you want 5m width to give you a meter either side. Height is also important. Is this for home or yard storage, and therefore how easily does it need to go up and down and be transported (size and weight of pieces will be important). Will the boat be pushed into it or build around the boat when the boat is in situ - door size therefore important and yard hoist type that has to fit through the door with the boat on it. Well worth finding out how a sail that size is anchored to the ground to stop it taking off in any significant wind. If you want to spend more and have space, there are some good options using shipping containers as a base - clearly cost of ISOs and transport is also a factor but you do get ready made storage with them. Good luck and Happy New Year.
