I wanna store my raw material and some small
tooling in my back yard. My thoughts are to get
a bunch of square tube and weld up a frame and
the use corrigated plastic for the walls. I am planning
on a size of aprox. 10ft by 20ft by 8ft high. Gonna
check the zoning to see if thats ok or i need a building
permit.


Any ideas, tips or suggestions are apperciated.


Best Regards

Check out your local zoning laws CAREFULLY.

Most neighborhoods are not HSM friendly.

Almost none of the neighborhoods I have ever lived in would have
allowed a portable garage.

Like I said, check carefully for what is allowed before spending the
money for materials.
