Motorcycle "garage"?

[BuzzardNZ]

You have a bike cover, so can I ask what it is that the 'bike barn' has that the cover doesn't?

Both do the same thing.

I'm interested as I have a good bike cover and just can't see the need for one of these, other than getting inside it and being able to work on the bike and not get soaked if it's raining or something.

check out this company Shelterstation.co.nz, based in Ellerslie AKL.

you can get a portable garage called 'the Ute' approx $450 and can be delivered anywhere in the country. Can be erected on concrete or grass.

I've had one for two years now it is bloody good. easy to assemble and dis-assemble.

ha exactly what I was about to say ... except we are now on the North Shore @ 26e William Pickering Drive

I've been thinking about this sort of thing myself. Hate not having a space to work on the bike - especially with the crappy spring weather we've been having. "The Ute" looks great for Auckland but it would be shredded by the wind in Wellington, or blown across the Cook Strait. I'd be really keen to see pictures of the sheds/shelters that others have fabricated. I also looked at pre-fab garden sheds and they either had tiny doors or were too big to be landlord-approved.

If it is going to be on concrete use dyna bolts to hold it down, the cover is a 410gm PVC & they do take a fair smack ... yeah ok if it is going to be on the Welly coast in a direct 140kmh+ wind then yeah I would be a little nervous
