Has anyone modified this to be 8-9ft wide? 10 ft is too wide for my driveway.

I don't know how well that would work, You have 6 roof ribs, 3 on each side. You could cut them down 6 - 12" each and make it 8 - 9 feet wide but, the canopy would not fit anymore, you would have to figure out how to attach that without too much excess.

Yes, door is on the 8ft side, as shown in pictures. It is expandable in 2 ft sections, I discovered.This seemed to be the best choice for us in southern Florida, as termites are a major concern.Of course, so are storms, but we set the 4x4s 2 ft deep into concrete, and placed the whole thingin a corner of the yard surrounded by 6ft fences. It will take a big storm to damage, we HOPE... :)

I have a long gravel driveway and it works well. Better than a snowblower in my opinion. Just have to be sure not to go too deep and pick up the loose stone. A little practice is all it takes. I usually leave a thin layer of snow when I do my drive.

Mine didn't fit, so I never used it. I have the same problem of trying to keep the snow off. Sorry I wasn't help on this one!

My front tires are around 8" wide and the support is 9" wide.Tire height isn't really an issue.

When mine was delivered I was told it was curbside delivery, which was very problematic. The unit ways 450lbs and I have a 80ft driveway with a steep slope and no way to move it. The delivery driver called when he was on his way and I inquired about dropping it in my garage and he said no problem. I gave him a tip and we were both very happy. Considering with permits and scheduling the install it took 2+ months to get done, it was a huge deal. I would assume most drivers would help you would if you tipped them, but he wasn't supposed to in my case.

Possibly. I have an "unsnowblowerable" driveway (ask my neighbor who, many years ago, decided to play with his new snowblower...he got about one 7 foot pass before giving up!!) I finally had to succumb to buying a plow, so I couldn't tell you. I can say that it probably stays put better then WD-40, it will definitely protect and lubricate parts much better (perfect for a drive chain in something like that).

Went to the end of my driveway which is 100 feet from my base unit and had no problem. Let me know how far your wondering about and would be happy to let you know.

I installed this on a 1999 Silverado. Width is fixed, not adjustable could be the reason. Experience tried to get in parking garage to tall had disassemble while stuck in entrance. Backed into my own garage snapped it off. If money is not an option get adjustable height ones, and leave down when not in use.

Hmmmmm, I just measured my 9" x 9" cover, and it's actually 10" x 10", so my guess is it would NOT adequately cover an 8" by 10" opening insofar as the 10" dimension is concerned.

My Grandaughter rolls it out on driveway to play. Would think about 8 ft should work.

Doubtful...as it did not fit over my eave trough either. I had the same issues you did with it...trying to get it ten feet from rim to ground.You are better off getting some bar stock and making your own, as this is not only badly designed, but it is certainly nothing special. I concluded that were I to have this very long, I needed something different.

My driveway is about 40 feet long. It is covered by very old beat-up blacktop with many spots very rough and uneven due to years of heaving during our rough winters on the south shore of Lake Superior. Last winter was my first occasion to use the Yukon on it and it performed wonderfully. If your drive's gravel is firm during the winter I would suspect the Yukon would glide very well over it and do the job.

Our driveway is slightly sloped and it works great. You should have no problems, just fill it with water or sand and it does not budge.

The width is not adjustable however, for smaller tilling blades can be removed for tilling smaller areas. Hope this helped in solving your question.

I think I would contact the manufacturer. My space was 55", so I bought a gate that covers 58", but with the extensions, it is not straight. I thought it was operator error, but my daughter has the same gate with the same issues.

I doubt 10" will stretch across the top of your 10 gallon... other than front to back... which wouldn't be very practical.
