I rent a 12x50 enclosed storage with electric and damn good security. I pay $140 a month

Same here, although mine seemed to have issues with the (rare in Maryland) snow load we had in 2010. It got tweaked pretty bad with only 24 inches of snow on it.

Got a bigger picture there?

We plan on getting ours shrink wrapped and then just leaving it on our back driveway. Even if we put it in storage, most of that is outside here, so we might as well save the money.

The same way I store it in the summer. Next to the house with the cover on.

No "winter" out here. We boat all year round.

You can go off some people quite easily....
3ft of snow and about 4ft of ice sort of scupper my all year round boating ideas.

The aluminum carports with higher sides are really good investments in protecting your other investment--the boat. And the construction companies will deliver and install them very inexpensively.

My crew cab truck, 24' Bennington and trailer is sitting my driveway, and the rig's about 45' long. From the ground to the fence is about 8'. Damned ole 13" tires don't help. Pontoon boats are just very large, and require a big storage place.

Stored in a heated building for 480 for the winter. Previously stored at the 4h fairgrounds for 275. but that was not heated and you had to put in and take out at a certain date

Plans are for a pole barn, but that's temporarily on hold. After that, the metal carport comes down.

we keep our boat in a rented storage facility, electric provided...... not heated but very well insulated ( building is only 2 years old ) and it doesn't get very cold here in Louisiana... also like it in the summer as it keeps the boat out of the hot louisiana sun... $125 a month...

250 for 6 month layup, in a newly built pole barn with concrete floors.

Keep it on the boat lift with a custom fitted heavy cover.

Shrink wrap in the back yard sitting on 6x6x8 railroad ties. Was thinking about going the tarp route but got the evil eye from the wife.

Lol, she knows it will become a "project" and will probably cave in during a snowstorm...

That's exactly what I want to get for our boat. What is the side wall height? Length? Width?
