Default portable garage

Bruce,
I don't think a portable garage would stand up to the winds that happen here in the winter and even in the summer during a storm.I look at my neighbors portable garages and there is nothing left of them.The tops of most of my spruce trees have broken off due to high winds here from storms.That and the ambulance is at least 10 feet high and around 20 feet long which makes it too large a vehicle for the Canadian tire portable garage so would be looking at a larger package.If I have to tarp the vehicle,I guess blankets off the contact points where the tarp will rub the paint would prevent too much damage.How come we all end up with the garages we dream of having in life when we are close to retirement and not when we need them the most?

Rob,
I will need to have a paint that won't let the truck rust again like that aervoe paint does.If it is epoxy paint,will it flatten enough to give the right look but still give a good seal coat?
Derk.
