ShelterLogic Peak Style Roof Instant Garage Carport Car Canopy with Steel Frame and Waterproof UV-Treated Cover

I have the knock off of this that I use as a greenhouse. Happened to see these on sale and ordered 2 of them. We started putting the first one together today.....and it went pretty well. The frame tubing is a little sturdier than my other one and each joint is bolted together - which is think it much better. Is it a bit of a fight to line up the holes at time? Yes it sure is. Also a few of the joints - I had to file inside the pipes to get the metal edges of the holes filed smooth so the other piece could slide in.....no big deal really. The instructions are not really bad either.....However, since I've put these together before I already have a good idea how it worked. I'm not as sure if I hadn't would it have been as easy. The cover also seems a bit better quality than my other one. The one main complaint I have are the bolts. There are 3 different sizes that all come together in a large bag. Two of them are so close to the same size you spend time trying to find the longer ones. I wish they'd come in separate bags to save time. Since this one will be staying up my plans are to put filled sand bags around the bottom for stability and to keep any water out. Part of the inside will be parking for a vehicle with the back part a little storage. The floor will have plastic sheeting on it initially until the grass and anything else can truly die after I spray it. Then I'll add a pallet and plywood floor to the storage part. Overall I have great luck with portable shelters - just make sure and get them tied down tight and the cover on well. I also faced it where most of the wind will hit the side and not the end. I've noticed that all these shelters seem to have more issues if wind hits the end where the parts overlap than the solid sides. The tie down stakes are nice and deep and sturdy. I do tend to add extra ones in the middle as well....just for extra support. This is a nice little shelter.

I own this portable garage (10" x 15") from Shelter Logic more than 5 month.I live in Putnam County NY.After i build it up it was tested with all weather conditions,from hurricane Irene to our October heavy snow storm.If place where you want build it up have little angle,still is okay.Just if you have there some bumps or holes,make it flat.I build it half on grass and half on parking blacktop.For secure on black top take your instructions plane and visit local hardware store and ask there.They will help you.I was used longer drill and few Expansion Anchors with nuts and washers.First of all.FEW FREE TIPS; A)Don't be silly and when you will build it up CHECK TO INSTRUCTIONS,FOLLOW NUMBERS AND YOU WILL SAVE FEW HOURS OF MY WORK.Because i was stupid j.. a.... and "Smart" people never read instructions.BUT IN THIS CASE I WAS WRONG.All tubing have a numbers and are big help.So that why i finish it little later,but I DID IT JUST MY SELF,without someone help.Just every time finish one side,don't jump here and there and think. B)If you have a plane build it under tree,like i did,be sure you,(or ask someone),better trim all large branches few feet top on your shed.If they fold down because of heavy snow or big wind they will hit and can damage your cover or all shelter. C) Secure your garage with Shelter Logic 30" Auger Anchors model # 10075.0,($20 at Home Depot) They are longer and will hold it down much better and stronger. D) SNOW REMOVAL!!Still construction is just from light tubes.(Don't forget.How much you paid.) DON'T LET IT COVER WITH HUNDRED POUND OF SNOW!It is much stronger than looks and can keep few pounds of snow ,(i do it when have have 3-4"),but it's individual,depend if is heavy or just nice,light snow.Better early than late.(Check all pictures) If you will follow my tips,you will also enjoy this cheep but great portable garage.If you are little tired from regular cover,(still up and down),and also from snow removal it's for you.It's good size for my 2010 JEEP Wrangler JK and now is my toy still clean and shiny.I doesn't work for Shelter Logic.I'm just happy client and doesn't like that all bad reviews.This is my first review and i hope you will understand it and will little help to you.I will try also download few pictures.So... YOU CAN DO IT! GOOD LUCK.>>>UPDATE<<< AFTER 16 MONTH I STILL LOVE IT!!!!! If you will LOOK AT MY FEW PHOTOS you will know why.TWO BEST STEPS; 1)>>> READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and YOU CAN SAVE FEW HOURS <<<, 2)>>> Better REMOVE SNOW <<< As you can see,my JEEP can fit there ok.Don't buy it for 2005 Toyota Corolla.It's longer than 2door Jeep JK! AFTER that VERY BAD HEAVY SNOW STORM last year AND AFTER HURRICANE SANDY is my SHELTER LOGIC portable garage still in good shape.As you can also see on my photos,this Spring a installed for better ventilation ShelterVent Part #10031. TIP;You can put on door steel but light weight electric tube.Just roll up with hands and doors will keep a shape.If any questions regard this product,you can email me to [email protected]. Good luck guys.

I live somewhere where there can be consistent wind, and rarely mildly strong winds. I am overall super duper disappointed with these sheds. The frame is alright, but the tarp was trash from day one, and overall it just sucked! Loud in any wind. Tears at the corners of the roof, so not very effective in rain protection.The first shed went up with little to no problems as the instructions were fairly clear. I did order extra corkscrew posts to add extra hold to keep it from blowing away. The tarp was obviously not going to last a very long time because it is very thin and it was clear that the screws in the frame would lead to the demise of the tarp in no time at all.The shed did ok for about 2 months so I ordered a second shed(roughly $800 down the drain now). The second shed didn't go up as easily, and with in two days of having it up, it literally blew away in the breeze, it wasn't even windy, just a breeze! In the breeze-y fly away of the second shed, the tarp was destroyed. These sheds supposedly have a decent wind rating, we never even got close to the max wind rating and our sheds were trashed.Eventually, like with in 4 months, the first shed started to really tear at the roof corners, and let all the rain and snow in. The wind and slight breeze make the tarp RIDICULOUSLY LOUD!!!!! So annoying, its supposed to be fairly taught which in theory should cut down the noise...that didn't happen, this thing is loud if you breath too hard near it.In less than a year, the roof of the first shed has split right down the middle and is now officially trash as well. The frame is sturdy enough, minus the issue of the screw ends...so now I will have to spend more money, buying a canvas type material at Harbor Freight to replace the dang tarp these sheds originally came with.I am very displeased with the advertising and over quality of everything involved with these tarps! I will never purchase from ShedLogic again, and I will actively protest anyone I know from getting one! Shed logic owes me $800!
