First things first...storage for the trailer

airlaird · 05-13-08, 07:18 AM

Well..unlike many of ya'll that may have 3 car garages...my house has only 2.
With all the hail storms in Dallas my Cruiser has been sitting outside of my garage because of my trailer build....until now.
Here's pics of my trailer "garage". 10' X 16"L. This should be sufficient. Not bad for $600.00 bucks huh ;-) the opening is 6' 5". Plenty of room for the trailer to get in.

I LIKE IT! I am in a town home :( so you are miles ahead of me. Very nice and hidden, adds to the house too!

looks good! how did you convience the neighbor to let you do it? since it looks like it is attached to their house as well.

I was curious about that too.

You going to put a roof on that badboy?

My neighbor agreed to do it because I PAID FOR ALL OF IT....the cheap bastard ;-)) But that's OK...my trailer will sit right in the middle of both houses..

Nice Work man...

Look out for the HOA.

They made me tear down a small shed that was not even as tall as the fence before I moved.

Better hope he doesn't decide to move

That looks good, you must have a friendly relationship with your neighbor!

From 1995 mine sat in various seedy locations, from the curb of my college parking lot to various apartment carports to sharing a 1-car garage with my wife's Jetta (talk about tight quarters!). Since 2006 it's shared a 3rd bay with an assortment of toys/strollers/assorted kiddie crap. Note the roof rack hanging over it to maximize space and get it off the floor!

No, I won't put a roof on it....that's pushing it a bit too far for the Home Owners Assoc. (HOA)..
