I am considering getting a temporary building such as the Rhino Structures or Shelter Logic. I need one that is at least 14' wide and 28'-30' long.
I am leaning towards the Rhino 14'x30'.
Do any of y'all have any suggestions either on type, model, assembly, or anything else that you might think that I need!
Thanks,
Dtp
My dad got an open metal shed like this one (minus the enclosed building) and bolted it down to short cinder block side walls.
He then put cedar siding on the remaining portions of the walls and framed some end walls up with doors.
He stores his ATV's in one half and fire wood in the other half. Looks a little better than just having metal tin roofing on the sides.
I think it cost $1000 plus the costs for the walls/siding.
anchor it well to the ground, make sure it has lots of screws, Wind is a devil.

Yes in some areas, "temporary building" has a whole different meaning. I have a carport at my house like the one shown and it can be VERY windy there.
It definitely lifts up against the anchors when the wind is blowing.
Will that fit your cat boat, Don?

Yup, Bob, both of them 🙂
I can tell you that the Costco tarp style shelters were kind of popular for people wanting cheap temporary storage areas.
That lasted about 2 years (until the first heavy snow). Now you don't see them here much anymore.....

the frames work well, when the tarp dies in the sun just screw on some roofing metal. use Lots of screws and anchor it really well (wind).

We find at least 1 of those prefab carports a month crumpled up in a ball laying in the woods. Don't get me wrong, they are priced right, pretty and easy to assemble. But the Oklahoma weather machine plays with them like Dixie cups.
South of Chickasha, OK we found one where the fella had not only poured a good concrete slab beneath it, he had properly anchored the bottom plate to the concrete. He also had "hurricane straps" (1 1/2" wide galvanized steel strap used to tie down mobile homes) anchored in the concrete and fastened down over the top. It was still on the slab, but a good strong thunderstorm just laid it over flat. We can get straight line gusts in excess of 80 mph with a good old afternoon thundershower. I guess the carport met its match.
Watching them jump around on a windy day is mesmerizing. Stay upwind for your own safety.
