Even though there's only a total of 2 reviews, I'd be concerned about the low rating from each reviewer! Think about it before you buy!

Your landlord won't let you have space in the garage for a scooter but will let you pitch a tent the size of a small apartment out back? Cool!

I know right!!? Total jackass

Regarding the tent though I probably won't get that one... I saw the reviews after I posted it... I will have to buy one with better reviews... It's going to be pretty damn cool after I'm done though.. Coutches and tables

Personally I wouldn't waste my $$ on one of those tents. We had the exact ones at work and with 16 buckets filled with concrete on a small tent they would still blow away. They are like sails. They also rip apart if left up permanently. For a short time or event they are OK, left up permanently they suck.

Whatever you do, please do NOT use a traditional "drop light" that has a glass 110v lightbulb. I've seen more fires started with these things and I detest them nearly as much as a tallyban.

Use a fluorescent or LED flavor instead. This message goes for anyone reading it and not just the original poster. Please take heed!

That would be awesome I'f I didn't need a workshop... That's the main point of me getting a shed to store the bike, and have a workshop for me

I used a cheap awning that I got from Big Lots for years, tie it down good cause it will blow away in breezy SF. Or do what I suggested in another thread, make a friend with a garage and keep them supplied with beer.
