20x32x14 Maintenance Tent

[cruzinz28]

Project started in June and is finally ready for use. Now I just have to pull my 05' Wrangler out of there and put my 42' MB and my M38 for storage.

Looks great.

It is nice.....I'd have thought that over the course of time that GL would have a number of Quansit Huts that would have been sold. That would have been the ticket, cheap and indestructable. On another note: a neighbor has a simmilar shelter as Cruzin28's and it is mabe ten years old with no aparent damage or UV related degredation or rips.

I like the screen door mod, the original doors on these things don't last too long out in the wind.

When I found the tent for sale, the original owner used it for ten years with the original canvas cover. About 8 months ago at tunder storm ripped the original cover to shreds. Debris is what I think caused the damage looking at the canvas.

My good friend installs air structures that typically cover tennsi courts and swimming pools during the winter months and that is the material that you see it covered with now. Snaps are used to hold the roll up doors shut when they are closed. The screen door was one of the best modifications I made.

One question, what's that you got strapped in the back of your duece? Looks pretty cool.

That is the CBC Shelter for the M105 trailer. It is a sealed enclosure similiar to the S250 shelter excpet it is Fiberglass. Pictures provided were from the gentleman I purchased it from. It has a Deuce rear window in the front now that allows you to pass through from the truck to the enclosure.

I am in the course of working out a trade for one of those frames.
My plan is to cover it with metal siding turned longways.
Kind of like the old Quonset huts of days gone by.
That will hold me over until I can get the new shop built.

 

[cruzinz28]

Wreckerman383 - when the material wears out on the building, that was what I want to go with. I have debated whether or not I should have tried to locate one more 8'-0" section, but then I would have bought more stuff to store in it.

There is a bunch of the frames on govliq (California as I recall). I just put another one up for fire dept. Doable by yourself except the end canvas section (with door) are a HEAVY PITA.

For some reason the end section 4' sides are not as long as on the intemediate sections. Don't tie down the same/correctly. Or I'm not doing it correctly.

Modern materials have to be great compared to canvas. I have a bunch of insulated liners. Have not installed any yet.

 

[cruzinz28]

Neiowa - Do you know how the insulated liners install??? I have been looking for them but have not located any yet.

Vey nice!

I have one still brand new in the crate, but it sat outside forever so the canavs is questionable. I haven't decieded if I am going to use it or sell it.

If I use it my canavs supplier also can supply me custom heavy duty vinyl tarps like are used the the trucking industry that should be stronger and last longer.

 

[cruzinz28]

My original plan was to order insudrial canvas tarps and then close in the ends using wood or metal and install actual garage doors. The fabric was an option my friend offered me once he saw what I had so I went with it.

nice

Have not installed yet. Unrolled one and they have conduit "purlins" with lightweight chain/hook at each end. Apparently chain hook to the tent "Rafters"/purlins". White in color which should improve light in the tent.
