I took an 8 x 20 Costco shed and raised it up 4 feet with 3" PVC piping. Now I back the camper in and leave it on Heavy duty saw horses and it works great. Not 2' of snow every year, but when we get snow its easy to just push it off diligently during storms. I have had it for 8 years now and changed the cover once about 4 years ago. Camper is bone dry all year and just as important it is out of the sun's UV which is just as damaging.
finaddict - would love to see a picture of the shed with the pvc. I've been trying to figure out some kind of shelter for my TC here in Massachusetts. Thanks...
The original OP would like to second that request for a picture as I could get a 11 foot high portable shelter for reasonable price and raise it 2 feet to obtain my needed 13 foot clearance. I understand that rounded domes shelters shed the snow better then peaked roofed shelters. Can you provide the thickness of the piping wall you used as I suspect it is important for strength to support the roof. Most of these structures are constructed with 2 inch tubular steel piping. cheers christl
