Instant Garage - Any good?

[Warwick67]

Anyone got any experience of the pop up garages? I've been considering this one:

Wondering how it might stand up to wind, rain ,UV, etc....

I've had one for about 3 months and it's stood up to the wind and rain we've had lately, although it's in a sheltered position.

Initially I had it on grass and it suffered from considerable condensation. I've now put down a damp proof membrane to cover the grass and it seems to have cured the problem although not totally.
I emailed them about the problem but they did not reply.
Their picture shows it on bricks so it's possibly a good idea to put it on them or a concrete base.

Cheers.... is it attached to the ground or weighted down?

You get stakes with it that screw into the ground for each corner. I put tent stakes through the feet that are on the middle uprights to be on the safe side. Obviously though the ground is very soft at the moment.

Have you considered a used sectional concrete garage? Check ebay or gumtree - some people offer them free to anyone prepared to dismantle and remove.
