A possibility exists I might want to move the fuselage of the Tcraft
to my back yard in order to work on it (wings off, stored elsewhere).
I'd need to build a shelter of some kind. 12x26. Has anyone else
consider this and if so, what did they do? I see portable garages for
sale on the 'net, but wondering if I could DIY; Don't want it shabby
looking - MIke

Don't understimate the power of the wind and the strength of cheap tarps. I
build a stucture somewhat larger than that with a tarp roof and
pollyethylene on the walls. I figgured that the plastic would blow off if
the wind got too strong.

Wrong...

A gust from a thunderstorm picked it up, it cleared the boat that was under
it, and smashed it on the ground.

Anchor it well, whatever you do.

Note:
It was made with 2x4 "studs" about 6 feet on center, 1x4 "rafters" with 1x3
diagonal bracing, cross ties, etc. Assembled with dry-wall screws.
To attach the polly to the walls, I put a strip of packing tape over the
plastic along each "stud" and stapled through the packing tape and plastic.
It didn't come off.
