Or maybe not.
Looks like I just joined the old man circus.
Not too bad for 230 bucks
Little small for the p71 but it’s perfect for my wife’s Fost. Plan is to move this behind the garage come spring for storage for the future garage addition. Although the neighbors have been up for almost 7 years.

I have two similar shelters. One is currently lacking the canvas as It requires some helping hands to get it in place. I have had problems getting the assembled one to stay where I put it. My yard is quite windy despite the surrounding trees.
I cannot properly mount it to the ground as there is very hard rock very near the surface but it is covered by varying thickness of sand. Currently I have zip tied it to yard tiles that seem to be slightly too light.

I have them on top of these. They weigh around 1 kg each (continues line under each side) but the wind was still able to push the shelter sideways and the yard stones had rolled over the lower steel tubes.

I used this at the 4 corners. It wasn’t fun pounding these thru my gravel but they worked.
Then I bolted the 6 inside supports to some boards and then bolted 4 old rotors I had laying around to the boards so far so good.

Cinder blocks weigh about 28 lbs. A bag of sand weighs 50 lbs.
Go buy some sand bags.

most canadian cities have laws that these temporary shelters can only be used during the winter, meaning that we can’t just move them else where, they have to be disassembled by April 30th i believe.
My home town has those laws, so that’s why i don’t bother with them.

Well I haven’t seen those before. I’m gonna keep an eye out for those now. Thanks. We probably have the same laws here in Michigan but they’re rarely enforced.
