Today I ordered

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Sick and tired of a messy garage and too wet outside to empty it whilst sorting it out

Im going through a similar process at the moment. I find it a lot easier to sort stuff out when I have a bit of room to move about.

I have about a m3 of floor space and no wear to move, more stuff getting knocked over than sorted out and stress levels rocket.

Sick and tired of a messy garage and too wet outside to empty it whilst sorting it out I’ve ordered a 3x3m pop up gazebo. Will also be useful for working outside with the unpredictable weather and a make shift spray booth.

Then in 6 months time "sick and tired of high winds blowing my gazebo away"

Don’t you be putting a curse on me. It’s intended for as and when required, not a permanent structure.

I've the same issue - a space less than 4m x 4m wall to wall.
Everything I can - is on wheels, but it's like one of those damned sliding puzzles to get what you want out, where you can use it.

I've long had the idea of a covered area in front of the shed to either work under or shove stuff under while I use the workshop space - a "car port" sort of thing - but time (& the cost of roofing materials, faffing about with drainpipes etc) .... its a "Roundtuit" that has never yet happened.

I also have toyed with "Gazebo" ideas or perhaps heavier "market stall" type stuff.... but its pretty windy where I am.

The clarke branded temp garages are good quality. I have one up about 5 years now and its survived all storms etc. Albeit its strapped to a 2.5 tonne s class inside

I had been toying with a 4.5x3m gazebo as it would be a great amount of space but is a 2 man job to set it up.
3x3m can go right in front of the garage and up and over door can still be opened/shut. The 4.5m one wouldn’t fit in front of the garage due to the kitchen extension.

I asked around on the Festool group before buying and it was between a Galatent 50mm hex and Rock Awnings 55mm Hex market trader types. I went for the Galatent as it didn’t have cast parts, the tube walls for the legs were thicker at 2mm and the option to have different colour top and sides. Might sound a bit stupid but more than a few people mentioned having a white roof for maximum light over a coloured one but also stating the white sides soon look grubby.
If you go for the Rock Awnings gazebo you can get 5% discount using UKPAVING only applies to gazebo and top.

I've contemplated a powered extending awning - in-fact I bought one from ebay years ago - ended at 2am on a Monday so 50 quid later, I had a MASSIVE powered awning.
15 yrs later, I sold it on ebay for a few quid more than I paid for it

Needed a fair bit of structure to screw it too - couldn't on the house as windows in the way, so not enough brick mass above it. And front of garage not strong enough.
