Hi, my Coupé is ceding its place in my garage to a new arrival, so I'm thinking of getting one of those temporary platic/steel framed garages. They look a bit flimsy, though. Any experiences, good or bad to share?

I bought a large yardmaster metal garage last year as temporary storage while my garage was demolished and re-built.... It was a massive PIA, the instructions were totally useless and it took two of us two full days to put together. You will need to mount it on a thick concrete base with DPC membrane. I mounted mine on a suspended wooden base made of timbers and osb, it had about 6inches of airspace under it ... despite this.... over the winter it formed its own micro climate inside with water condensing on the metal roof, raining down on all my stuff, evaporating, condensing on the roof and then starting the process all over again. When it finally came time to get rid of the wretched thing i put it on ebay at a ridiculously low price and a 'buyer beware' style description.
