I got a Mahindra 2540 winter of '15 and I also got a larger project boat
last Spring. My shop, of course, was already full.So both stayed in my
driveway.

This summer was too hot or raining to work on the boat and beginning this
fall, I spent an hour cleaning out leaves before I could even open a hatch
evry time I tried to fool with it.

So, I decided to use a coupon and get a Harbor Freight 10x20 tent for most
of the boat and tarp the rest of it. That canopy cost me 89.00 I bought
chain link fence top rails and cut them to length to get the canopy up to
the right height and level it on the sloped drive. I was so happy with it I
clipped another coupon and got another for the Mahindra. I ordered some
side tarps from ebay made for this size tent, from the same material, to
cover both sides of both canopies. For the money, I think you get a lof of
bang for your buck.

They are saying we may get ice this weekend so I guess that will be the
ultimate test. I used a combination of tapcons and helical dog tether
anchors where the poles fell of the paving to stake the thing down to the
ground.

The tents have positive multi year reviews on youtube and elsewhere so I'm
hoping they'll hold up a few years at least. I could see them being very
handy for the crowd that goes to Portland to offer some shelter and shade.

Anyone else used one?
