Mine is in the horizontal position when I keep it under the tarp. To avoid surface rust I wipe used oil on the beam before & after use. Its been outside for 5 years without any issues.

I store mine in a shed, yet I still do something similar... only instead of oil I spray the whole thing (except muffler & engine hot spots) with silicone.;)

How do you remove snow with all that loose gravel?

At first I thought it was cement and I was thinking wow that's a lot of cement. But I think your right it's gravel.

Nice looking place for sure but you need some fertilizer and herbicides, insecticides, weed control etc on the lawn ! It looks brown ? Just joking with ya
 

No sir that is what I would call a garage. And a nice salt box to boot. Way to nice too use as a shed and or shop. That would be where my f250 gets parked and my wife's SUV. No tools or grease in that garage. But since it's heated and air conditioned a little man cave bar area would be a nice addition to that salt box.

Also love the crows nest.

Tractor with plow blade with a piece of sec. 40 pipe on the cutting edge. Also have the largest Ariens snow blower with a piece of pipe on its cutting edge and small skis in place of the skids.

It is not gravel it is crushed quahog shells. They crush down to a powder like concrete over time. Then put down a new 6" layer. It took over 23 trailer dump loads to do the first application.
