I built one. 9' x 12'. Lots of room for the RT-S and leaves lots of room for shelving, etc. for all of the stuff we seem to collect.I agree with Gene and would also slather the underside of floor and edges all the way around with Cuprinol wood preservative if the wood is not pressure treated.
That is nice! I have a friend with a spyder who is limited on yard space, and he is looking to do something like this. He is looking into a 10x10, or up to a 12x12. We found some used ones on craigslist. I never thought about converting the normal doors to a nice roll up garage door like you have. That is really a great idea. I have a large garage, but something like this would be nice to free up some of the main garage floor space.I built one. 9' x 12'.

I will get a shipping container.
I would be tempted to approach the HOA fathers (mothers?) with this question. "I must protect my Spyder from the winter elements. Give me specific, affordable, recommendations for a shelter that you will accept." In other words, put the onus on them and if necessary push them until they give you an acceptable answer. And if they resist or won't then tell them you'll put up whatever you want and they better not complain.Thanks everyone, these are all great ideas. I live in a community with an strict HOA on the side of a mountain in the woods. I need a soft sealed cover to store my RT in the driveway. I am looking at a Cycle Sack which claims to be zippered and keeps the critters out. I am waiting to hear back to see if the Cycle Sack is large enough for a 3-wheel bike or a Spyder RT.
If you have any ideas, please me know. Thanks, Greg
