ShelterLogic Peak Style Garage-in-a-Box, Grey, 12 x 20 x 8 ft.

I bought a "garage-in-a-box" from TSC on sale back in 2015. It was $250 IIRC. It had a door on each end, this one only has one. The old one had poles to make the bottom of the door stiff, this doesn't. The old one had a brilliant rope system to easily roll up the door and keep it open, this one does not.

Installation:The instructions are as bad as Ikea. I definitely thought it would be easier and most of that stems from a simplicity of parts that are poorly labeled with very slight distinctions that have an impact as you build if you don't notice.Durability:I installed this unit in Oct 2019 in Northern New England and as of Nov 2021, the tarp on the South side of the structure is failing significantly at all joint positions and thinning noticeably in non-contact areas. I really expected more. For a tarp to fail in 2 years screams of material cost-savings.The framing is built of an uncomfortable compromise of weight-savings and structural integrity. To elaborate, as the tarp is failing, I've considered replacing it with other forms of roofing material (polycarbonate or metal), but given the additional weight required, I don't believe that frame will support it successfully.To be fair, the structure has not collapsed under snow weight of 18". That's a bonus.Bottomline, it "works", but if I could go back in time, I would allocate the time and money to a permanent structure.

The tent appears to be the wrong one. The logo is sideways and the tent doesn't go to the bottom so we can't strap it down properly.

There was no parts missing and everything seemed fairly good quality. It's held up well for about a month. Although I do warn you, *you must be handy to assemble this* the instructions are not the most detailed as there is no words just step by step pictures and the parts are not organized so you must do all that yourself and trust me there is a lot of parts. Other than that just make sure you have at least one other person who can use a wrench to help you set up.

I bought this 10 months ago, assembled it myself in about 5 hours. I had one of their less substantial white ones from a big box store, and it lasted 2 years. This one was very impressive when I assembled it. It took a little work putting it all together, but having a battery powered impact driver with a socket head made the work fly by. The hardest part on any of these garages is the anchor system. The white one I only anchored with tie-downs and the fabric wore out quickly with windy storms [Virginia]. But this one I decided to do it right, and burred deep the included 'temporary' anchors. They suggest putting them in cement, and with the hard clay in my area, that's about what I have. Anyway, getting those anchors in took several hours [by hand].It gets very warm in the summer since its a dark color and there is NO ventilation except at the base. I have often considered ducting the hot air at the top with a fan. The heat probably makes the fabric deteriorate quicker, but definitely makes the objects stored inside get hot. Its mostly tools, lawnmower, and stuff for the car, but an entire box of nitril gloves were stored in there and deteriorated in a few months from the heat alone. Anyway, the roll up door can be a little annoying, so I put an unused shower curtain rod into the flap at the bottom of the door. Attach a zip-tie around the center of the rod, and a "figure-9" to that. When you want it open, unzip both sides, attache the "figure-9" to a rope that you tie to a support beam. That way you can have an open door in under 2 seconds. You can close the door in 1 second. The only trick is that you can't keep tall items near the front of the garage.The problems:So far, only one issue- the fabric, which feels and looks to be very high quality, started to tare at the same place all around the structure, about head high, right on the support beam. There are pictures from another poster that show the same tares as I have.Warranty:I just submitted a warranty request since its only 10 months old [its a 1 year warranty]. I will update this if I get any response other than a replacement top cover.The sad thing is that even if they send me a free replacement tarp, I will still have to remove the old one, fill up space in a land fill, and put the new one back on. I estimate it will be 2-3 hours of work if the weather is helpful.

This went together easy. I bought the door rollers for east of putting the door up and down and they do not work well at all. I have this in Northern Michigan we will see how it holds up to winter because you can see it moving around when the wind is blowing at all. Also the door height seems low because the door does not roll all the way up. When pulling my side by side into it the roof drags every time. If use it to store and lawn mower or something low the entry door would be fine but anything else going with the higher sidewalls.

This replaces a ShelterLogic Garage-in-a-Box purchased 5 or 6 years ago. This iteration of the item features more roof and side supports which is a real advance. Unfortunately, ShelterLogic cheapened the structure by using smaller tubes. Hopefully that won't compromise the structure too much. The biggest missing structural strength enhancer is a rod which extends and attaches to each of the roof supports thus forming a triangle at the peak. This seems to me a serious engineering error. Though I am not an engineer, I do know about the advantage of using triangles to enhance the strength of a structure.The earlier (5-6 years ago) suffered tremendously from long rods that supported the roof and connected the supporting side and roof. The earlier structure failed mostly because of this fault. Even after adding, post purchase, triangulation stiffiners to the roof peak, the garage failed under stress.Time will tell if the new iteration performs better. Hopefully - Yes. I won't cross my fingers.

Not the greatest Instructions but not hard to figure out. Biggest pain was that all the bolts came in one bag but there are 3 different lengths. You have to sit there and compare the length of every bolt to sort them out. Really? Couldn't risk loosing $0.02 on separate bags for the hardware?Lasted 2 weeks, hurricane wrapped it around a tree, but in its defense it was the eye wall of hurricane Michael. 155mph winds with gusts over 170
