Cheap shelter for winter storage.

BJs has them too for $299. They're made by ShelterLogic, are 10x20 and come with a light kit and roll up door. These things last for 5+ years.

I bought 2 and use them for storage but they'd be perfect for a boat.

I am very impressed, all my friends with the metal frame shelters had them cave in after last weeks storm, man was there a lot of weight on it when I got here today, still standing though.

Nope. Looks like I'll be going to BJ's or Costco for another"tent" one. I got 5 years out of my current one and its cheaper to replace the whole thing than just the top. The new ones have 5 ribs and mine only has 4 so I gotta clean the snow off quick or it will collapse. Other than the cover wearing through at the ridge beam it's still good. I've seen some people replace one end panel with T-111 siding with a pair of barn doors cut into it. One I see by my parent's house is the 20ft wide version and the guy put a small garage door on the end.
 
My Liner is 21 without the motor but I keep it in a 20ft car port. A little of the front sticks out but with one of those wood carports you're looking at you can hang a tarp on one end and use it to cover the remainder of the boat. In my case I use the front part and bungee it to the trailer to create an awning of sorts when the boat is in there.

I have the same setup on my tent for the Liner. Just zip the front entrance down as much as I can without forcing the seam, and the hung another tarp inside to lie out over the bow and winch. Then use bungees to hold it all in place. Has survived this winter well - but I had to make sure I was brushing snow off the roof (from the inside) during the few storms we had in recent months.

It was a great investment. I'm looking around at houses at present, and hoping I can get a double garage to put the boat in. Otherwise I might have to consider replacing the tent cover with something more long term - like maybe some sort of roof panels tied to the steel frame and leave the sides open (but have the boat fully wrapped in tarp).
 
I want a long term solution. My tent (a party tent for a terrace) is broken after this winter.
My neighbour is jobless now so i thinking of giving him the job of making the carport.

These have become very popular here in south Jersey. Not sure how well they would hold up under north country snow loads. Several different manufacturers with different structure designs.

 
If I wasn't right in the village and if the village wasn't such a pain in the arse withe building codes I'd probably get some of that corrugated stuff the use for awnings and make a more permanent roof for my existing car tent. Could probably end up with something similar to what JT posted on the cheap since I'd already have the frame.
