This isn't your ordinary flimsy tent...
By Dustin on Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2016
This thing is great. It has so much going for it.Durability - We have had several storms here that were pretty intense. They were among some that had ripped trees down, caused "severe thunderstorm" warnings, and made me think a tornado was on the brink of falling on my house, and this tent was just chilling like a bum on the beach. It did not even phase it.Security - It is a secure as you can expect any tent to be, but it does have large enough zipper holes to run a small lock through if you are looking to lock up your belongings. I don't worry about it, because you can just run a knife through the side and zippers locks are bypassed. It does, however, prevent people from seeing what is inside, so they are less inclined to try to break in. Also, the posts/screws that get driven into the ground for anchoring are tiring to screw in, so they would be almost impossible to rip out.Set-up - I was able to do almost all of it myself. It sucked a great deal doing alone, but it is manageable. If I had help for the whole thing, it would have been a breeze. Parts are visibly labeled, instructions are clearly written and drawn, and it is easy to follow as long as you read through the whole manual one time before actually starting. That way, you won't end up securing bolts prematurely like I did, or putting some of the poles in backwards, which really is irritating when it is the top beam and you are one pole short of finishing. Honestly though, it is simple assembly, but it does take some time.

Nice shelter for the price, but cover doesn't last long and is difficult to replace
By Francis Wright III on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2011
We have a small fenced in area next to the house where we keep a go kart and some of the kids' ride-on toys. I had a tarp attached to the fence to cover them, it was screwed to the fence on one side and anchored to some small concrete piers I poured on the other side. But the high winds in our area kept tearing the tarp off the anchors despite it being inside a fenced area. I decided to try one of these shelters, it's short enough to fit below our 7' fenceline (and thus not be seen by the neighbors/ HOA) but big enough to hold all the stuff. As others have mentioned the instructions are a bit vague, but between the instructions and a little bit of logic it can be figured out. Once the frame is assembled and the covering in place it's actually quite a sturdy little setup. The covering is pretty heavy material, it's stood up to our winds just fine. Time will tell what kind of UV resistance it has, but after a few months in the brutal Texas sun it still looks like new. It does get pretty warm inside in the summer, there's not really any venting unless you count the small grommet holes in the doors (they're there for strapping the doors up though, not for venting). The zippers seem very nice, it's no problem at all opening/ closing the doors. It's been through a few rains and seems to be water-tight. So far so good!11-19-2012 update- I've had the shelter up for a year now and it still looks like new! No problems with it at all and it's hold up quite well.08-22-2013 update- Well at the beginning of the summer the top cover on the shelter started ripping. Now a couple of months later the top cover has almost completely disintegrated, it's in shreds all over the fenced-in yard where I assembled the shelter. So it lasted about 1-1/2 years. The end panels are fine, but of course you can't order just the top cover, you have to buy the top cover and the end panels together as a kit. The replacement cover kit is 129.99 plus 16.87 shipping = 146.86 and cannot be ordered online, you have to call in (and wait and wait). Personally I think that is WAY expensive considering the whole shelter cost 208.99 with free shipping from Amazon. Very disappointed in the lifespan of the cover, I was expecting it to last at least 3 or 4 years. Also disappointed in the cost of the replacement and the thought of having to pay that cost every 18 months. I reduced my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars because of this.01-25-16 update- I am reducing my rating from 3 stars to 2 because of the short life span of the covers, the difficulty in installing them and the fact that you have to call them to order a replacement because it's not listed on their site. I am currently on my 3rd cover in less than 5 years. I have two patio umbrellas made out of Sunbrella fabric that have lasted years without issue. Denver airport's tensile fabric structure has been in place 20 years and still looks great. The point is that the technology exists to make durable fabric that lasts many, many years but ShelterLogic instead chooses to use the same cheap material to make these sheds that you would get buying a tarp from a home improvement store.07-26-19 I installed cover #4 in 2018. ShelterLogic should give these kits away for free because they would make a killing just selling replacement covers! This last one lasted less than a year before holes developed. I've had enough, I've spent more on the shelter and the replacement covers than I did on all of the stuff inside the shelter. The cover is in absolute tatters and that's it, I'm not buying another. It's going in the garbage which is what I should have done when the first cover fell apart. Lowering the review to one star, if only zero were an option.

My son and I just installed this weekend. Overall it looks great. It wedges perfectly between my house and fence so it will not catch a lot of wind or sun in my scenario. The directions were spot on and everything was labeled perfectly. No issues with the instructions or parts. It comes with 4 pretty substantial auger anchors. Overkill for my setup since it is protected. I used one and picked up 3 yard anchor stakes at the box store. My only issue with the design is that you have wrap the tarp over 4 bolts… 2 on each end and then fasten the tarp. When we ratcheted the tarp, it was punctured on the inside where the bolts are located. Time will tell if it’s a big deal. It’s on the inside and is also covered by the top tarp. Some caps there would have helped.

No words to assemble - only pictures

Ok, so there are a few things that I didn't know when putting this together.One - make sure to separate everything to make sure you have what you need. The different screws were difficult to figure out which ones where the "long" screws. This could be eliminated if they simply separated them and gave them a part number like they do the rods.Two - look through the entire instructions prior to starting as there are a couple of things they have you put together and then move around it or take it apart to do the next step.Three - I got cheaper and easier to use anchors. The ones that come with it are more difficult to use. I went to Ocean State job lots in the pet section and got 4 anchors that screw much easier into the ground. I utilized these with ratchet straps that I attached to the side rails and it keeps the structure from moving at all.I did have some burs inside of the rods that are supposed to fit together so make sure you have a small file that fits onto your hand drill just in case you have to file them down like I did.DO NOT tighten all of the screws. Little tip - put clear nail polish on them prior to screwing them in and once it dries, it'll hold them in place without having to tighten too much. Tightening them too much will crush the rods and if you ever need to take it apart, you'll never be able to put it back together. To take it apart if using the nail polish, take a heat gun or hair dryer to it and loosen it up.One thing I was also told by my neighbor was to get a light colored tarp to place over the shelter. The reason for that is to keep it cooler and to protect it. The sun is generally what diminishes the material so if you put a tarp over it to begin with, there won't be sun damage that will eventually make the material thin which will get destroyed by the wind. This is a good pro-active choice to keep the integrity of the shelter for a long time to come.This size fit my Harley very nicely and has kept her nice and dry.

I wanted to love this product and initially I did. It was everything I needed for my backyard to shelter my Harley from rain and the elements. Withing 9 months the top began to fade and deteriorate. I contacted Shelter Logic, and their awesome customer service advised me that this product is NOT heavy duty and will only last 1-3 years. In my case, it lasted less than 1 year. I was still in warranty so they replaced the top/sides with no additional warranty, for free. But they mentioned a Heavy Duty option that lasts 10‐12 years but costs $200.00 more (total $359.00) which in Joe Bidens America, was not something I could afford at the moment. I recommend this product to anyone keeping it indoors. If exposed to the elements, it won't last longer than a year. Had I known this sooner, I wouldn't have purchased it. It's a great product with a short lifespan. Get the Heavy duty version directly from Shelter Logic and you'll have 10 years of peace of mind.

I have this to cover up my Honda Goldwing to protect it from the sun and all the elements of the brutal weather in which we live in. It is doing a wonderful job. It may be temporary for me, but it’s well worth it protect what is most available to you under the tarps and the railing and the stability of this wonderful product. Have a blessed day.
Good Idea, Poor Execution

This shelter is poorly made which makes it difficult to assemble. The pipes have punched holes in them that deform the pipe and raise large burrs in the inside that must be filed off before the pipes will go together. Some welded fittings are so misaligned before welding that the pipe can't be inserted without deforming the rest of the frame. Fasteners consisted of nuts, bolts, washers & lock washers but there weren't enough for the job and in my opinion were the wrong fasteners for the job. What is needed is round head carriage bolts with a square under the head and nylon locking nuts so they can be installed from one side and won't vibrate off over time. The square holes in the fittings are far too large to keep the bolts from spinning and the head of the bolt needs to be held with vice grips to install. The first time I unzipped the door the zipper teeth (not the fabric) came off. To Shelter Logic's credit, they had me submit a picture of the issue and receipt for the purchase and they quickly sent me a replacement end canvas piece. Once I worked through all the issues it served it's purpose of housing my deck/patio furniture over the winter. The pitched roof did not collect much snow and it seems to have held up Ok. I am going to take the time over the next few months to try and correct some of these deficiencies. The main thing is to fit all the tubes with spring loaded push-buttons so I can assemble them without tools next time. I will try cutting apart the bad fittings and re-welding them but straight this time. If I were to buy another shelter I would look for one that has the push button assembly feature.

It’s fun to build, however the glue joints on the cover started falling apart almost immediately. Cover started ripping at the stress points, and finally the Texas wind tore the entire thing to smithereens. I’m going to recover it with thicker material.
Nice Shelter, Kinda Sorta

I bought this to house my Honda Silverwing 600 maxi scooter. I've been using a standard sized Bike Barn, which turns out to bejust a bit too small. Also, it's been blown around and torn up quite a lot - but that's another story. This ShelterLogic shelter is quite roomy by comparison, and gives me plenty of extra room to work on the bike in there, etc. I like that it's nottoo tall (6 1/2 feet at the ridge), which I think gives it a more stable profile out in the wind, and we have plenty of that here in NM, especially now, in the Spring. This shelter must be staked down, and the kit comes with four auger style stakes to use for this. I was only able to use one of them because of the rocky soil here, so I used three other metal ground stakes for the three other corners, and so far it's working fine.The shelter doors - there are three separate pieces to this thing; two end door pieces, and the top cover piece - will blow around in the wind, so you shouldn't expect them to be perfectly "tight" and sealed. This shelter isn't completely tight anyway, and you will get dust blown into it to some degree. The picture makes it look more sealed up then it actually is, and any wind will compromise that picture-perfect fantasy anyway.All in all I'm happy with it thus far - I've had it up for a week now. You'll need some basic hand skills and tools to erect it, and one person can do it easily enough. I can't speak to longevity of course. However the quality seems to me to be capable of some of that.UPDATE AFTER A WINDY, DUSTY WEEK OF USE:If you need a shelter that will keep dust out; if you live in a windy area where there is a lot of dust/dirt/earth, etc., then I'd suggest you look for a different shelter system. This one won't do it. I live in such an area - Spring here is always windy, and this Spring has been unusually windy - and my motorbike has been literally covered with a layer of dirt after some windy days. I wish it were different, but there it is.
