Abri à foin à toit pointu ShelterLogic vert, 22 x 20 x 10 pi

While assembling it the thing fell over and broke the support bars at the top. So now I have a pile of junk.

I’m short on spare time and still don’t have it assembled yet. The directions are horribly incomplete. It tells me how many of each piece is included but doesn’t have sufficient instruction or diagrams on how it goes together. I could have bought the lumber and built a shed by now for about the same money

I installed this shelter in October 2023. Worked well last winter and allowed my equine animals a dry place to eat in their pasture. Inspected the shelter closely October 2024 and there were several holes from being worn by the weather. Had to replace for this winter. Went to order just a replacement cover, but the price of the replacement cover was more expensive than buying the whole shelter as they were on sale. Regardless, the cover lasted one season and needed to be replaced. It needs to be much less expensive to replace the cover if it's only going to last a year.

This shelter, if I can keep the snow off, will do exactly what I want done. BUT... yeah I am very disappointed in the very poor quality control in the processed used to punch or drill or whatever they did to make the bolt holes in the tube sections. Each and every tube required reshaping with a ball peen hammer, in sub freezing weather, due to the "dimpeling" of the hole in the make ends of tubes. These dimples, (ugh the puns here are just ripe), in these male ends were so large that the tubes would not slide into the female ends of adjacent tubes. This required reshaping the tube, that had to be done carefully to avoid turning a round tube into an oval one. The second issues was "flashing". Wherever there was an exit hole in a tube on the inside of a female end, there was so much flashing that again it took extensive hand work with a heavy rasp to grind it off. These parts were essentially re-manufactured by me in order to make them fit together. This added days to a project that should not have lasted a weekend. The aggravation levels were extreme, causing cursing, swearing and the wishing of an infestation of demons upon whoever does Quality Control at Shelter Logic. But it is finished. I did get it up on 18 inch high timber walls because I needed the extra height. And, for all my frustration I would recommend this product. But, the construction time is nearly double by having to deal with this. The photos attached are just exemplars. Most if not All the tubes had problems that required a lot of hand work to fix before assembly could be done.

First of all the Instructions are not up to par. Most important is that the pipes would not fit together, the inside of all the holes on one side of the pipes had to be deburred by hand which added more work than necessary. When they were drilled only the outside of the exit holes on the exterior of the pipes were deburred at the factory.
