Our Boat Shelter Choice

By far the most popular shelter offered by Rhino shelters is one of the 12 X 20 x 8 Portable Garage units. They are great for use for a single car of normal size garage , for a small fishing boat, or for general storage.

They come in the House or Round style,
with cover color choices of green, grey, or tan.

At $450.00 + shipping, they are a super value per square foot, providing 240 square feet of covered storage.

A neat thing about these two units is that the frame, with the purchase of a Greenhouse Cover ($193.00 + shipping) may be used for Winter storage, then come early spring, become
a very roomy greenhouse.

The next step up in size is to add four feet to the length. The cost goes up to $600.00 + shipping, and brings the storage area up to 288 square feet.

Though the 24 foot long Round unit was an early choice, we quickly rejected it.

Our rebuilt 1959 Thompson is 7' wide and 17' long plus another 3' of trailer. So the length was fine. But the windshield was too high for the door opening, unless it was placed on a raised base (I'll say more about a raised base in a future post) and I really needed room for other winter storage stuff.

So our boat shelter of choice became a 14'x24'x10' in the tan color.

The cost was $895.00 + shipping.

With our Winter ordered, the next steps were clearing
out a few trees behind the garage/shop and leveling the area.
