Our other slightly small garage can catch some of the stuff like the benches, shelves and jacks but it's already got our daily drivers in it and my wife is like - do what you want but my car stays in the garage. And it doesn't have a high rise door so the 4-post lift doesn't work in it. With storms, hail, torrential rain (we have had at least 4 - 5inch plus monsoons this year already and questionable door and window gaskets on old cars, parking them outside just doesn't work.
You're going to have move $hit around anyway, why not move it into one of these portable garages?

Bernica, granted it's not a caster with a 2,500 lbs of car to support, but you can leave 300, 400, 500 lbs of barbell and plates for days and no indentations are made to those horse stall mats.

Each wheel on your Cobra has 700 lbs or less on it. The four casters for each wheel have one quarter of that 700 figure. That's nothing. Chances are you weigh more than that.

They are a good product. The problem (I'm guessing) is that Dan would be buying 4 of them, leaving the ERA in one and then being stuck with them when he's done.
