I tend to agree - a metal box on a concrete floor is a pretty basic and
inexpensive structure, when you consider that it gives you something that
should be windproof, waterproof, and should hold up well for a long time if
basic maintenance is done. On the other hand, there is always the chance
that someone has figured out a hangar design is labor intensive but not
capital intensive. That might work for us. So I am compelled to ask.
