I put it over 4x8x12 solid cocreate blocks (Yea, it took A LOT of
them), and put some hot water pipe foam insulation around the sides
(on the inside) to seal of the ~1" gap along the sides. You can
always put a heavy plastic tarp underneath instead.
Note: This garage is SMALL and you get what you pay for. It is
NOT a $500 or $600 portable garage. Still, I like it MUCH better
than storing it at someone's barn or putting a car cover over it
and shoving around it, HOPING that I don't scratch the car while
I'm shoveling.
