The prefabbed ones seem to be pretty good. If you get lots of snow in
your area you'll have to keep it clean (they do cave in)
My TR4 was covered by a tarp-on-a-frame... the frame looked like EMT to my
eyes. It collapsed after 3 years or so. Right now it has a carport, and
will have to wait until I'm rich & famous (or maybe just rich) before I
can get the climate controlled garage...
