Garages and sheds.

Aloha All,

It seems to me that the main concern in Hawaii for vehicles and even containers - if we disregard security - is avoidance of direct sunlight and direct rain. I have an old-as-the-hills pipe structure I park my truck under and it suffices - but I went out a few days ago and looked, and it's almost completely rusted through.  It will collapse bumbye.

Therefore I decided to rebuild it.  There are two types of angle fittings - the grey ones with curved angles Which is what my 'garage is made of), and the gold ones with sharp angles.  I found someone with a lot of them, many new, and I grabbed them - BOTH KINDS.  So now I have enough of them to build a bunch of 'standard' vehicle covers, sans the metal pipes.  I am going to use Schedule 40 PVC instead, and reinforce the stress points - or even use double components for strength because metal is simply too expensive.

The point is that I have a few too many for my own use.  These fittings go for $12-$15 each at HPM plus tax (Home Depot doesn't carry them) and it takes 12 of them for a structure ~30 feet long - but you can make double-wides or any length you want.  And, of course, you can make them large enough to cover two stacked containers.  I even have bolt-on pipe holders for catchment tanks so you can anchor your circus tent and use PVC instead of metal to keep your UV covers out of the water - which you want to do unless you like drinking bird poop. :-)

Bottom line:  $65 for twelve, pick-of-the-litter, including screws.  That makes the same structure I have over my truck, but poles, cover and ball bungee cords are not included.  This is just the hardware.  I'm making about five bucks on the deal - not enough to discount them any more.

The offer is good 'till it ain't.
