The Jeep has been banished
to the back yard :-( After spending the summer in the cozy comfort of the
garage the Jeep needs to make way for my car. (seems I doesn't like to scrape
the frost of the windows in the mornings. <lol>) Last year I put a car cover
over the Jeep but it didn't work too well. When it snowed the water melted a
little bit and then froze the cover to the body. It was a major project getting
it off so I could go play in the snow.
So this year I'm looking at something like this:
http://tinyurl.com/khz3
Has anybody used something like this in snow country? We'll get 2 feet of snow
in a storm and I don't mind brushing the build up off, but I don't want to have
to go out in the middle of the storm to keep it clean, if you know what I mean.
What do you think?

Re: The Jeep has been banished
I'd be concerned about it collapsing under the weight of the snow.
What about constructing something similar out of 4x4's and T1-11?

Re: The Jeep has been banished
The guy up the street bought one similar at an RV place, I live in SO MD
and we had some real strong winds he had it secured as per the manufacturers
directions but, the winds up rooted it and totally destroyed it. Besides it
looked like PEE WEE's big top in his yard. I do not know how it will hold
up under snow because it did not make that far.

Re: The Jeep has been banished
Actually saw a guy yesterday putting one up.
I live in Barrie, Ontario...aka: SNOWBELT!! We'll get 3feet a snow in a few
days easily.
Odds are, you'll be out shoveling/snowblowing....so just take some time and
remove the snow from the top of your shanty-house.
Unless you get a big dump of wet stuff....it'll probably be alright!
