Default Anyone use a tent/enclosed canopy/portable garage?

Trying to find a tent/enclosed canopy/tarped frame to use as a garage for a while.

I have a 15' x 23' cement slab in the corner of my backyard, but the city codes won't allow a permanent structure unless it is 3' away from the property line. So, I am going to get a military surplus tent eventually, but I would like something inexpensive right now, until I can afford the $2k military tent.

Anyone have any experience with any of these?

No personal experience, but make sure the legs are anchored down tight.

if you get snow,get the round roof style so the snow will slide off,and you could put 1"x4" under the poles so when the cover sags it will hold it up,run the boards under thepoles so its not touching the cover, use round head bolts.
