@DanPDX, maybe we can take the train down together and caravan back home, if ours are ready near each other in time. :-D

Congrats! I am not sure what I am waiting for, will probably take the plunge sometime today as well. If you are indeed number 20 it sounds like yours should be done before mine, but if not that would be pretty great! Smile

I had a 16 x 12 Tuff Shed with gable doors installed at my old cabin near Shelton, WA.  It had a few extra options (windows, and upgraded locks) and came in under $5000 after a coupon.  I was super happy with the result.   At 192 square feet it came in just under the county limit for structures not requiring a permit.  Also, at that size you could fit four Arcimotos in it.  Smile

I’m having another outbreak of FUV envy. The Evergreen Club membership is on the grow. Good news for reservationists down the line. Congrats on your official order.

(Not counting out-of-Pacific-Northwest positions in line, I could be even lower.)) . Also says "We would expect the second batch to be delivered in Q3 2019, between July and the end of September."  (Unclear if that is a second batch of Evergreen, or the first run of post-Evergreen.)


Yeah, considering one of those. But it gets windy where we are regularly.  *VERY* windy.  A Tuff Shed garage maybe, although it would cost almost as much as the FUV.


Your post made me think of all the "storage shed" items one can buy at home depot, made out of either wood or "recycled plastic fake wood". So I then wasted about 10-15 minutes browsing at homedepot and Lowes ... Wink

Width 61 inches (5 ft, 1 in) and total length 113 in (9 ft 5 inch), so 9' x 13' should be plenty large. (specs from : https://www.arcimoto.com/evergreen-edition/


Stuff like this ($335) :

or this ($440) :
https://www.homedepot.com/p/ShelterLogic.../206292641

or ($530) :
https://www.homedepot.com/p/ShelterLogic.../307831701

or this ($865) :
https://www.homedepot.com/p/Arrow-10-ft-.../307832617

or this ($3000 - yeah, 3 grand, but it IS an actual new building and not a tent or carport) :

Yeah, some of these you'd have to seriously fasten if there were risk of high winds: dig several 2 foot deep post holes at each corner, fill bottom with 3" of gravel, then 6-12" of concrete mix - with a stainless steel eye bolt down the middle of concrete 'plug' - after concrete cures, fill top of hole with dirt (w/ bolt sticking out of ground) and then tie off each corner of structure. But it would be an afternoon's easy work (in the spring or fall, I wouldn't want to do in dead of summer or winter).
