We don’t have a garage at our house, but we do have a pretty big driveway. We’ve tried to solve the motorcycle parking issue with these plastic tarp sheds – each is about 8’x10′.
The one on the left is three years old, and holds my partners bikes: a 2006 SV650 and a 2007 Vulcan. The one on the right is just two years old and holds my DRZ-400 SM as well as my partners project bike, a 1976 Triumph.
(I am crawling Craigslist for a late-80s/early-90s sports bike to make into my own project bike! Searches for mororcycles for sale between $300-$500 are so much fun.)
The older shed isn’t doing well. Last winter the snow load was a little too much for the aging tarp and it began to shred. We have a newer tarp stretched over the frame of the shed for now like a silver toupee, picturesquely held on with milk jugs filled with water – but we should really find a better solution for next year.
I’m blogging a photo a day for the month of February. You should too! #29in29
They remind me of those little sheds people put little cows in. Not being the farmer-type, I have no idea what they are called. I think someone said those little cows are kept in there so they don’t develop much muscle and their meat is more tender. For the life of me, I cannot think what they call meat from baby cows other than calf’s liver. Too early on a Monday I guess…
I’ve seen those sheds from the highway! these are bigger, I think. ideally we’ll build a more permanent structure next year but have been avoiding the building permit requirements.
What? You get a quarter of the storage space? 🙂
yeah, not fair, right? 😉 on the plus side, “my” shed is the intact one, so that’s something, I guess….
