Took a while to assemble

Date:November 26, 2011

"We assembled it today and the build quality is a bit rough. Major issues getting some of the wall poles to secure to the base reinforcement because of poor alignment. With much struggling and a bit of brute force, the parts finally fit... and only because my buddy is pretty strong and could twist the poles enough to force a fit. I've never had issues like this putting one of these things together.

Anyway, it's the cheapest garage on the market so I guess you get what you pay for! My biggest tip would be not to secure ANY bolts until the end because we had to release a lot of them to get the last few poles to join correctly.

Tarp is decent quality but not much more than what you'd get in a normal tarp... no extra technology here. Zippers also look a bit basic but time will tell!"

Good but not Great

Date:October 4, 2011

"This shelter is quite sturdy and adequate WHEN installed on a wood base, there are a few buts though.
First, since this a white shelter its going to heat up like a greenhouse when the sun shines on it and when it cools down in the night time you are going to sometimes get condensation dripping on the inside. it would of been nice if they had made some kind of vent openings in it. Second, the kit only comes with 4 spikes to hold it down. So if you don't install it on a wood base like i did you will have to get proper spikes because the supplied 4 will not be enough to keep this secure and sturdy. the instructions could be a bit more detailed but if you follow them CAREFULLY you will get it together. If you haven't built one of these before it will take you a full day to put this together. you will need another person to help.
I installed this on a pressure treated 4x4 posts with pieces of 1/2 inch re-bar cut to 24 inch lengths hammered through the posts (drill through posts with 3/8 inch bit) to secure the base down. I then secured the base of the shelter frame with 3 inch lag bolts, and then tightened up the frame after making it square. check out the pics."

Not bad, but know what you're buying.

Date:September 29, 2011

"Bought this last fall to store my car. Used all the auger anchors as included in the kit, and it was a bit difficult to install, but seemed relatively secure. It does have some flex to the frame, but nothing that seemed excessive. Completed 1st year photo below.

During the winter, the snow fell very easily off the top of the tent/garage, so the weight on the roof wasn't an issue. Because it's almost see-through, the sun would warm up the tent and cause some condensation on the inside to drip on the car, which was no big deal. In the winter, it was actually comfortable inside!

BUT... wind is this tent's #1 enemy. Regular strong winds broke the zipper fastening open on the tent more than once. I temporarily cut a hole in the tarp at the base, and tied a rope through the base to hold it together. Unfortunately because the zippered door broke open, the metal zipper "buckle" scratched the rear trunk and bumper of my car while blowing in the wind (most of the scratches buffed out).

The biggest problem was one big windstorm that actually lifted the tent and shifted it back & forth about 1 foot, and one of the poles damaged the side-view mirror of the car as well.

This year (learning from last year), I built a wooden base using 4x4 pressure treated wood (photo uploaded). I bought larger anchors and bolted them directly to the wooden base. I also used some wood "strapping" on the sides of the tent to keep the frame from flexing. The materials to build a base and strengthen this tent cost just over $200 (same cost as the tent on sale), but it should be much sturdier this year.

It's not bad, but know that you do get what you pay for. If you prepare for it... you'll be happy with this."

All the same If you take care of them

Date:August 4, 2010

"Some advice as almost all are the same, eventually the tarps wear and snow is sometimes a problem. I've had 1 now for 10 years, paid $200 for a 12X20 with just a tarp on top, no sides. Have bought a few in the past and now own the ones with sides. Some tricks for keeping this alive for years. You need to make some sort of RAFTERS-extra ones. Webbing from old style alum. lawn chairs has worked for my 10 yr. old one. I had rolls of this 2-inch webbing from replacing on older style lawnchairs years ago. They are just like suspension cables and add to the strength of the roof. Trust me, we're in Winnipeg, we DO get some snow each year. Year #2 I made the mistake of using liquid Bakor Tar (used for sealing down rolled roofing or tar paper) and I fully waterproofed the tarp but snow wouldn't slide that easily. When we got big dumps of snow, I'd go out and hit the roof from the inside (soft broom works great for this), problem solved. Soon after and this is now years 3 to 10, I've added a 2nd and a 3rd 12X20 tarp on top of the other. The point? 3 layers of tarps, now strong like plywood. $25 for a cheaper tarp per year if it wears and the main one stays like new. For my latest 12X20 (Costco this time) I'm about to erect it in the next day or 2. I plan on using 2X2 inch stucco wire, I have a roll of it-54" by 100 feet long and I'm going to fabricate a metal screen roof prior to installing the full enclosure. First i'll attach the wire-kind of like a cage overhead and supported by the roof truss system, then cover with a cheap tarp (to prevent friction wear from wire resting against tarp material - or abrasion), place the full enclosure over it and then cover the main roof with yet another cheap 12X20 tarp. My worries are that once the full enclosure with curtains etc. starts to wear, replacement will be quite expensive and we all know the Sun pounds on any tarps-UV Rays are killer. Boat dealership once advised "if you love your boat, don't cover with a really cheap tarp, invest in a good one as it works out in the end..." Watch for tarps on sale and place over carport type enclosures and you're good per season. Ever see the farmers covering those monstrous rows of hay bales? Pretty much 1 year before they shred and good for only smaller tarps then. Tricks to anchoring down if placing on limestone or dirt? Ideally, pouring a tube-shaped amount of concrete would be ideal but failing this, just drive a 4-foot piece of hollow pipe into the ground for at least 4 outer corners, leave about 6 inches sticking out of the ground and anchor to that. Old gas pipe, iron water pipe, older chainlink fence pipes etc. work great. Keep the tarp as tight as possible and check it well before winter sets in. The summer heat will stretch the material so balance it out before the weather changes for the worse as you can't touch these during extremely cold months. For removing snow from outside once in awhile, I just took a pushbroom and covered with old towels so I don't use anything sharp to haul down the snow. Alternatively my Toro leaf blower works great for blowing the snow too. Hope my review isn't too long but you need to hear about extra roof supports as some don't see this until it's too late. You can also use that 1/4" yellow polyprop rope to create rafters (vertical as that's the way the roof slopes and snow must still slide down, not sideways). Just wrap an end around one side's horiz. pipe, go over the roof and wrap around other side. Rather than tie a knot, loop rope to itself and tie with nylon lock/cable ties. The ropes don't have to be mega tight, just have enough of them maybe about 1 foot apart for the whole 20 foot enclosure. For another enclosure I added mini turnbuckles into the ropes and adjusted them tighter. Then wrapped said turnbuckles with cloth and electrical tape so the metal wouldn't wear against tarp material. One winter I had over 1 foot of snow on the 12X20 which I estimated to be about 500-700 lbs worth and it held. Ignore the naysayers, the pipework will bend considerably before it ever just breaks and if you're to be away, have someone else check it during winter.

P.S. wherever your vehicle's exhaust pipe exits if at the side of said auto, place something to protect that whole run alongside as you'll melt it fairly easy if you get close enough. Snowblowers too-you can shred these shelters very fast so keep away. I have to add about a trick I just saw when a neighbour put up the one he just bought on sale-the 10X17 @ C.T.. He used 6" planks and attached mid section and horizontally along each side to stabilize the vertical posts and prevented them from swaying when windy. The heavier the base and more weight on the ground by doing this will keep this from becoming a waste of money in a year. Good luck all and remember, the $80 ones they have on sale once in awhile, also work great if you take good care of the main ingredient and it's always the tarp material!"

Great garage

Date:March 4, 2010

"I've owned this garage for over 3 years now. Aside from not anchoring it down properly (my fault) it has held up amazingly well. Snow has never been an issue. It does SLIDE OFF. I've only brushed the snow off once or twice and I probably didn't have to, I was just being cautious. For the money you can't get better value. Just make sure you keep the tension tight on the vinyl roofing so snow can't collect and your fine. I'm moving to where I can't use it. So I'm selling mine now as the new owner doesn't want it."

DO NOT BUY!!!

Date:December 5, 2008

"The only way this building survives the winter is if you keep the snow off! If you had an engineer analyze this building he wouldn't pass it for a 5lb snow load! This amounts to nothing more than a strong tent, which makes it a very weak building! It always amazes me to see people store valuable cars in such a cheap building! If you hear stories of people who say the snow just slides off, remember freezing rain won't!"

Great price, excellent quality!

Date:December 2, 2008

"Sometimes you get what you pay for!
Pay less, you get less, right?
WRONG!
In fact I purchased this car shelter expecting less than great quality, but on a budget, we do what we can.
Well I stand here with hat in hand and have no trouble saying I was wrong!
The fact is this not only does the trick, but it exceeds my expectations.
Strong, robust and versatile. Need anything more than that? Build a garage!"

10.5' wide garage entrance, will this fit?

Question:

Hi,
I have an incline single 10.5 feet wide garage entrance, will this fit? I know is 11 feet wide but can I change something to make it fit?

Answer:

You could probably squeeze it into this space but you'd lose some of the strength. Plus you have to be able to secure it to the ground some how... If you're drilling into the ground it would be tough.

yes.... just make sure the incline isn't that steep.

Answer:

you could move the frame in enough on the bottom to fit in a 10.5ft space but when you move in the bottom it will increase the height by a couple of inches and its already 8ft tall.

Answer:

It's exactly 11' wide. If you're trying to match the width, you can't adjust it without major changes to the structure.

This might not matter if you're installing it directly in front of your garage, as the roofline probably doesn't match your garage door either.

Does this fit over a regular parking space?

Question:

Hello

I am buying a condo and it doesn't have underground parking. I'm wondering if this would fit okay over top of my ground level regular-sized parking space? (without overflowing to my neighbor's space)

Thanks!

Answer:

It is 11ft wide so so just measure your parking spot.

LittleJon

Answer:

It really depends on the parking space; many spaces are different widths/depths. I don't know many parking spaces that are 11' wide, though.

What you should really be concerned with is anchoring it to the ground. I doubt the condo corporation would let you anchor this to the asphalt even if they let you put the tent in your space. It would also be an issue if it blew in the wind and damaged someone else's car.

I wouldn't recommend it in a condo parking lot (I live in a condo as well, but installed it in a friends' backyard).

Where can I get a replacement cover?

Question:

Where can I purchase a replacement cover? I have the E series with the translucent fabric and the clear panels near the front. 11 X 20 size I'm told Cdn. Tire does not offer these replacements

Kayway18

- Nelson, BC

2 years, 11 months ago

Answer:

Seems to be the BIG question for many such enclosures and one I've always worried about but very few can ever answer this. Seems like for the most part, it's a disposable structure so my advice? Buy yourself a 12 X 20 tarp from anywhere, buy the best you can afford. If you want/need sides too, you buy a 20 foot long one and whatever the total is for over the roof and sides included. Sometimes for these you need to fashion your own replacement even if it means buying a larger item and cutting it down in size. I've answered this too late for you but consider this, very few retailers advertising these for sale, on sale etc., ever show there are replacements. There are a few, one more recently on weekend of July 31/Aug. 1 but rarely have I seen replacements offered and no retailer can be faulted for not knowing about it. Call up the 1-800 number included with such structures, ask them as soon as you have bought 1 and see what the future holds for this one or should you buy a spare today and stash for a year or two until needed?
