  * **Connector nodes:** 12 (each = 2x T + 1x X)
  * **No diagonals** - the garage is a panelled box, braced by its panels and corner profiles.
  * **Tubes total:** 20 - **tube length:** 26,59 m
  * **Tube weight:** 21,6 kg - **connector weight:** 12,8 kg - **total:** 34,5 kg

//Source: MoBil builder (tubes, connectors, panel count). Door, corner-profile and hinge counts to confirm - the builder does not quantify hub elements.//

===== 4. Assembly =====

A panelled box on a 2x1 footprint. Each node = the [[mobil:assemblies:structures:connector|connector]] assembly (2x T + 1x X), joined by tubes.

  - **Lay out the base.** Set connectors in a 2x1 rectangle.
  - **Connect with straight tubes.**
  - **Add the verticals.** One straight tube into each node, pointing up.
  - **Close the top surface** with straight tubes.
  - **Add the floor panels** with aluminium corners.
  - **Add side and roof panels,** joined with aluminium corner profiles. Leave the door opening open.
  - **Hang the door** on the aluminium door hinge.

//Each step maps to a stage in the viewer above.//

===== 5. Safety & correct use =====

==== Build safety ====
  * Pinch points at every connector and panel edge - keep fingers clear when seating joints and profiles.
  * Don't hammer pins with the frame unsupported; seat the joint by hand first.
  * Panels are rigid and have weight - handle with two hands.

==== Use & load limits ====
  * **Max roof load:** . kg //(to define / test)//
  * **Do not climb** on the roof unless rated and ballasted.
  * **Wind:** above . km/h, the closed box is a sail - ballast or take down. //(define - enclosed volume)//
  * Lock the door; don't store hazardous or heavy loose loads that can shift.

==== Ballast / anchoring ====
  * Footprint anchoring with [[mobil:parts:accessories:water_weight|water weights]] at the corners - the enclosed volume catches wind.
  * [[mobil:parts:accessories:ropes|Ropes]] to fixed points where available.
  * Minimum ballast: . kg per corner //(define per configuration)//.

===== 6. Takedown & storage =====

  - Empty the hub and remove ballast first.
  - Lift off the door, then roof and side panels.
  - Remove corner profiles and floor panels.
  - Pull top pins, lift off the top surface, pull verticals.
  - Break the base. Nodes can stay assembled for next time, or break to flat-pack.
  * **Packs into:** [[mobil:parts:logistics:normal_bike_trailer|normal bike trailer]] (tubes + euroboxes for connectors); panels via [[mobil:parts:logistics:panel_bike_trailer|panel bike trailer]].
  * Store dry. Check pins aren't bent before repacking.
