Cheapest storage and easyest storage I can think of is to park the cub under a large shade tree.

Charles,
Get yourself 4 each 4"x4"x8' for corners, and 17-20 each 2"x4"x8' and make a 8'x12' building, then pull a 20'x40' tarp over it(or a couple smaller ones) and you will have a nice easy storage area. Then your cats will go inside and sleep right on the seat of your cub!

Thanks to our great government and the stimulus checks I finally got a building this summer.

10x12 was all I could afford and about as big as I wanted to put in the back yard anyway. A buddy gave me some Harbor Freight ramps to use to get the Cubs in and out. I plan to run power for lights and an old ceiling fan I have and a couple of outlets, but probably just 110v.

Charles, The cheapest shelter I know of and how I was taught to store firewood is to get access to Locust trees and use a chainsaw to cut the limbs and trunks to length. Locust wood is nature's pressure treated lumber and was used by farmers for fence posts. They will last for 50 or 60 years in the ground. dig your holes and put them right in the ground and you can use regular lumber for framing and use sheet roofing for the top and sides or stretch a tarp over them. works good.
