So if weather's bad and don't have a garage. What do you guys use?

Pop up tent or tarp etc. Be good to see ideas as want to set something up
 
I go back inside and call it a day :p

Or if its urgent ill just throw a tarp over it and tie wrap it to the fence, gate or what ever else I can.

Also got a pop up gazebo but I tends to want to fly away so don't really bother with it.
 
i use a pop up gazebo which helps but if windy dont go in for a cuppa or you may just look out to see level with next doors house roof line, it made a hell of a bang when it landed
 
If the weather's that bad I wont be going out in it, the landy stays outside. I did strip down a series 3 once and resprayed the panels in the bedroom, the mrs wasn't too happy at the time but she got over it.
 
I found that no matter how tight it was, a tarp rubbed on the paint after a while, it looked like someone has gone over the edges of the wings and front of the bonnet with a brillo pad.
 
Kerbside repairs for me. I just put on an extra pair of socks and maybe some gloves if it's cold. If it's wet then I just carry on in my jeans and jacket. There is nowhere I can put my landy where it's sheltered when I work on it.
 
if its engine repairs, I can do it on the drive, nose in, gazeebo up, wedged between the house and the caravan, its not too bad, other stuffs a bit harder, the drive is cobble/grass n not good to jack up on, so thats on the road, quiet road, and if its REALLY bad ive had the gazebo up on the path.

if its that bad, it tends to get left till urgent, winter repairs are nessecary things, and general required servicing, roundtuit jobs can wait till better weather.
 
a mobile landy garage would be an interesting project. canvas fitted to a roofrack with extendable poles to drop down and create a tent for working under.

so, not only do you carry tools with you, but a mobile garage.. too far? :D
 
i get to play in here :D





or if i fancy working on the project i go to my unit :)



tidy now, wasnt long after i moved in this was taken :)

That's downright cruelty.
You've got lights, and a roof to hold them up, and walls to hold that up.
Apart from that it's about the same as mine.:D
