Paul and All,
I too own a house without a garage. I tarped the Nighthawk but found
that it wasn't giving me the protection I needed and none in the winter.
This year, with the GS-1000, I bought a shed. I'm a cheap guy -
bought one of these: http://bit.ly/itFv1a One word of caution - read the
instructions before putting it together and if you intend to use it as a
semi-permanent structure - Purchase the additional 30" anchors:
http://bit.ly/l5PRRL and drive them into the ground.
Its big enough that I can put the 450, the GS-1000 - the push
lawnmower, weedwacker and a couple of garbage cans in the shed. Headroom is
fine- I often start the 1000 in the shed and ride it out.
How long it will last? Two - maybe three - years.
Just a thought.
-Joey
