Hi All

How do you all keep your buggys stored ? I don't have a garage but looking to store in one of my business containers. Any ideas accepted

thanks

Container sounds good

Folding garage is another option if you have space to put it

Just be aware, shipping containers can suffer badly from condensation

As said above, shipping containers are terrible for condensation.  It quickly gets so bad that there is a constant drip of water from the ceiling.  Worse are the ones which have foam lining - far from stopping the condensation it hides it behind the foam and causes a closed damp atmosphere to rot whatever's in there. 

If you have to park it up outside, don't park on bare earth or grass, and ensure the cover you use allows air to circulate underneath the car.

Though depending on where you are, you might have a friendly farmer nearby you could talk to?

A carcoon is a great option but some are frameless and collapse on the car to get in or out , I haVe an air chamber for my m coupe but within a wooden shed that is quite damp, keeps it sweet by moving air over it and avoids  condensation caused by sudden temperature changes.  ;-)up
