Funny, there's a 3 car garage in the background.

No, this is for the micro home crowd or the guy that has a $30,000+ that has to park outside on the way to sturgeous.

I wonder how well they hold up to heavy snow.

No need to worry about that here!!! (Love year round riding :D ).

Others have found that it holds up well:

I don't "put away" anything.... I simply "stop using" them :D
AKA: the weed eater...lawn mower.... extra trash cans for leaves and oak nuts...

With my next move... to alabama... currently looking at mobile homes (ok, modular homes) most of which only have sheds for lawn equipment and no garages, I will be looking for a space next to the place with enough square footage to pour a pad and build my own garage.

We will live in the "abode" only for a couple of years and then find our true "forever home" LOL :)

I should be getting a good deal on storage this year. An old coworker that's a single guy in his late 20s has a 2 car garage and only one car. He's letting me keep the bikes there over the winter for free. I'll probably just keep him stocked with good food every once and a while.

Art, as reasonable as that is, not everyone can build a Lincoln Log cabin.

I'd be worried about these things not breathing ,humidity being trapped in side rusting the h3ll out of your bike.

The Bike Barn has a flap at the top on both sides that can be closed for storms. The bottom is about a half inch off the ground so air can get in.
I haven't noticed any rust forming.

I'm so lucky I've got a two-car garage. I've even got a little bit of space to work on it during those cold winter afternoons.
