So I bought one of those garage in a box things to use for my wood shed this winter. I was wondering if I should cover the top/sides (it's all one piece) and leave the ends open or if I should close the whole thing up.
Raise it up on blocks so air can get under the skirt. Cut a large louvered vent into the rear panel and keep the front panel rolled up as long as there isn't horizontal rain.
It'll be fine. I got the round top that was suggested earlier when I asked about it. The round top is stronger and can hold up to excess snow. The whole structure is anchored into the ground by 8 30" long stakes.
