Or that's the way some people describe it. Clarke Garage.

I was looking at these a few years ago and an Eribacar owner on Facebook has just purchased the very large one and he reckons it's ace.

This one will fit a Troll and is hardly any more money than a Protec cover. Does anybody use one? Just realised that the door is only 1.9 high. Wonder if it can be raised up on blocks?

The majority of people who responded on the German Eriba Facebook to this guy's idea don't reckon it will stand up for very long. It does have concrete feet however.

I am using a motor bike garage, by Clarke as an auxiliary shed for 12 months. It is bolted down to concrete and is weathering very well thanks.IMG_4901.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)IMG_4910.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)IMG_4987.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Interesting assembly video on this page:- https://www.machinemart.co.uk/p/clarke-c...nt-garage---da/

Also the beauty of this is that unlike a Protec cover which goes missing when you're out and abouting, the Clarke garage remains in place.

Also unlike a cover will not rub on the van/windows in windy conditions. Better ventilation too methinks !

I suppose you would also have to the consider location and visual impact. Would it stand out more than a caravan? Would it be easier for somebody to break into the van as they cannot be seen?

Mine, although slightly smaller at 2.4m sq., is in my back garden, but measurements will be taken to see if it can be reused for the puck. The front gets virtually no wind.

Looking at the assembly video, you'd need to cut the front apex vertically to allow extra door height. No big problem though. A couple of closing straps or velcro should do it.

front door rolls up as it has zippers on both opening sides. Any advance from level would have to be thought about !

Another problem Roger. Ridge height is 2.4m and width of the splayed base is 3m. If you do a scale drawing then I suspect a newer van would not fit under the roof slope. I also doubt an older one would. Well I wouldn't be confident enough to order the garage it is that close a call.

In your case Andy (a Puck) then only 4" too low.

I'd imagine something like this would be a semi-permanent thing for anyone considering it, so it might be worth knocking up a three-sided dwarf wall with bricks, breeze block or sleepers as a base to give you the necessary height.

All you'd need do then is increase the drop of the door accordingly so that it reaches the ground.

Yes, worth checking out but I've just calculated it with the only dimensions provided and the newer model which is 2100 wide, should just fit under the rafters if it's parked dead centre (with mms to spare). Any small dwarf wall though to increase the door height, should overcome any concerns.

I've just had a word with these three outside. They said if you can find somebody to help them they'll lift the posts up a bit. They also said it would be more politically correct in the the time we now live in.
