To much moisture blows in under the carport where I keep my B. It is covered but I would rather have a dry place. If anyone has set one of the cargo containers set up for this purpose I would love to see some pictures for ideas.

Thanks!!

Someone in your neck of the woods is using an older U-Haul BOX from an old truck as their F6B shed.

There are some pictures somewhere, maybe he will chime in. :icon_cool:

Someone in another thread mentioned using a small enclosed utility trailer for storing his wing. I thought it was a great idea that is easier to move on occasion if needed, up off the ground, serves another purpose, and also easier for the neighbors to look at year round. Those trailers can be inexpensive especially if found used. I have no idea how cheaply a cargo box would be for you. Just a thought. Good luck!

Some of the premade sheds at Home Depot might suffice. Add a fan to keep some air circulating or you could go all out and insulate.

I bought a 16x36 Graceland Portable Utility Shed building as my sound shop, workshop, and bike storage.
I put 8' barn doors in the front with a ramp, 6' barn doors in the back, 2 human doors, and windows all around,
But they do have smaller options.
Very well made and very high quality.

An M109 friend uses one for his two M109's. No photo, but it wasn't anything fancy. Simple ramp to the doors. Would be easy enough to add power for a heater and lights.

Seems to me that a metal cargo container would be difficult and expensive to heat or cool. The metal would conduct every BTU quickly to the other side unless you install some insulation. But it can be done :)
