Title: Portable Garage
Post by: super90kyote on November 28, 2005, 06:03:47 PM
Does anyone know who sells thoughs portable garages that you see in peoples driveways and what is the price range? They look like a framework of poles with a tarp draped over. Any help would be great.

Not everyone has a costco membership

Inland Plastic in Port Kells talk to Dave.  I just bought one . I havn't seen the Costco one but this one has the fold out sides.  I paid $399.00 + shipping. It is 11'6\" x 20' and is all white.  All metal is powder coated white too.  Hoosier Daddy had one for sale but I don't know where he is at or if it still is forsale.

We got ours from Costco, for $199.99 it is a killer deal.  It's a good quality tent and if u use it for a year and don't like how it's holding up u can take it back, u can't beat a deal like that. Let us know if u need help with the membership thing, we can probably help u out.  TJ

Seriously?!?!?!?

I guess if you live in the middle of nowhere, where the only store is a value village you don't really need a costco membership....

I don't think Costco  sells a replacement  tarp for these buildings.  Inland does for $150.00.  Go Look at both, and compare.  I would not think they are the same.  These are quite heavy.

I came from Langley just before they opened up Costco, now the closest is 1 1/2 hours away in Vernon.   It's a small price to pay for quiet... peacful living... in a town where there are no traffic lights, and I can't go to town without seeing atleast 5 people I know, and saying hi and chatting for awhile.

Ohya,... Jason, Marty, and Todd have Zellers,  in Salmon Arm....I'm in Sicamous 1/2 hour away , we have the Bargain Shop.

The Costco ones don't last long term. My Dad has had one for a little over 2 years, and it's pretty tattered now. For the price I suppose they are OK. Coverall  portable garages are much better, although much more money, but I believe they are life time warranty. They are made here, and have a really good reputation for durability.

There is another place in Langley,  I bought a shelter building from years ago.....I can't remember the name but they are by where Mikes autowrecking used to be.  approx 56 ave and 196st.  Right next door to the used GM only parts place.   They used to be on 192 street next to smiths plywood.
