Billy,
I went on-line and bought a RV Garage from a company called COVER-IT. It was grey and cost $2,500. Worked great until the tropical storm came and took it away.
I built it over a shell floor.

Re: What Do You Use To Cover Your Boat?
I searched online and went with Creative shelters out of Oregon. I ordered 1 7/8 fittings for a finished shelter of 12x40x14. I ordered a 24x40 tarp so the sides come down to three feet off the ground on one side and six feet on the other, the side hieght is adjustable. The fittings use glvd fence post. I got mine from U.S. Wholesale pipe in Holiday Fl. I gave them my cut list and they dropped a pile of pipe off in my yard.
A chop saw, end wrench and one day of labor to set up.
Total cost was about 1k. I have overhead lights, water, and a fan. I just took the tarp off during the hurricanes and the wind blew right through the frame.

Here is the one I bought. $1800.00+......Get the extra roll up door and vent kit!!! I also have added lights and put plastic down as a moisture barrier (also a must!)

They even let me arrange my own shipping which saved me $130.00

I figure if it only lasts me 10 years then it averaged $200/yr. I'm OK with that!!! For 1/2 the price I could get another canvas cover to put over the frame if this one does finally come apart.
I would have prefered a more permanent structure but my neighborhood doesn't allow these so this thing sits 10 feet behind my property in someone elses field.
