2 important things about it!
1) Ventilation
with the heat/cool of a day it will rain inside due to condinsation. I added house type ridge vents to the ends. Just had someone hold blocks of wood on the inside and screwed through into it. then cut the material out. Cheaper then getting the one's they offer.
Little crushed stone inside helps too.

2) Anchor it down
In the heavy winds even though mine weighs in just over 1,100 lbs it moves. I put dog anchors into the ground and then use jack straps to hold it.

Love Fishing, wish I caught fish more often.

I agree!!
Thats why I used 3/4 crushed stone
Although I havnt had really a problem
I also use my Boat cleats to tie to inside supports
To hold down down garage though winter or heavy winds
All and all it works great and it allows you to work on boat
In any weather
