Ran into the same issue on the width - it is for sure not hitting 12' without what feels like damaging it... I am reaching out to ShelterLogic to see what they say - seems like if anything, stretching the bottom out too much will make the top sag more in the middle. Glad I am not the only one!
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid Thank you very much. BTW, I've checked a little on your page about the follow up for your garage... is there a follow up video with your tractor and how it stand the winter and etc... It would be appreciated anyway. Thank Wish you the best.
I've seen a few videos of this and I keep seeing people screwing in those anchors, but everybody seems to just speed through it. I don't understand what the tool is that you're using to spin the rebar in. Unfortunately I'm starting this project tomorrow so I probably won't get the answer by then. I do appreciate your video though! It's always good to see someone else do something before you do it. Thank you!
Hello my friend!! Very nice video! Nice upload! It's nice garage! It's great! I enjoyed it very much! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day! 😊😋😎
Just checked and sadly they don’t have anything close. This is super heavy duty and a curved top to handle the heavy snow loads we get here. Oh well… thanks for trying!
We started with just dirt, but that caused some condensation problems so we covered the ground with a large heavy tarp. No problems with condensation since then.. and it’s been a few years. Here’s a video of what we did ua-cam.com/video/riEJvGAEmUc/v-deo.html
I had one with same name but a peaked roof at my house. Every snow storm I would go knock the snow off it 2 or 3x per storm then at the end shovel the snow away from the sides. Lasted 2 yrs. One summer day I came home to a 20ft long trip at the ridge. If you dont plan on cleaning the snow off this and keeping the sides clean expect to cover it in metal roofing in a few years.
Thanks for the heads up. We are really hoping it warms up enough because it faces south and that the snow slides off. Just need it to get through this winter. We’ll see ... stay tuned for an update in the spring.
Hey guys, Congratulations on your new shelter logic. It's a great product. I had the same exact one. I bought mine used off a friend for $75 back in 2000ish. Then I got the gardening bug and turned it into a greenhouse. I ordered the translucent cover and doors from shelter logic. It worked great. About 10 years later the translucent cover started to get a little thin in a few areas and I eventually got a few pinholes. So I ordered a new green cover from shelter logic. Then I moved a few years later but my son still uses it for storage. It has lasted through several hurricanes including Gloria, Bob, Hugo, and superstorm Sandy. The metal pipe frame is still rock solid and not rusty. It can also handle a wet heavy snow pretty good but if the snow load gets too heavy, the top cover will pull back off the sides so it's a good idea to keep an eye on it when it snows. Probably one of the best investments I ever made besides my weber grill and my 97 f250. I hope yours lasts as long as mine. I know the field mice are gonna love it. Lol If the tractor is too tall, I would consider raising the perimeter with stones, cinder blocks or wood and/or soil enough to clear the door. You could dig a little soil out but then there may be a place for water to pool up and that would turn the inside and everything in there into a moist moldy steambath. Best of luck in whichever way you choose.
Ment to be 10x20 its for a car not a full size tracker . They just have the name Tracker Supply . The Harbor Freight model has a much sturdier thicker frame . And if you have it shrink wrapped like they do to boats for winter it will last a lot longer . Cool though 😎
We're about to put ours together right now! Three years later from your video, we're wondering... how has your shelter held up? I know they aren't the most durable things.
It’s still standing! The top part was beginning to dry rot a little over the bars so we covered it with a tarp before last winter. The tarp was crappy and blew off this summer but it’s still standing and hanging in there. It’s not leaking much but we’ll probably cover it with a tarp before winter again, mostly due to the potential weight of the snow possibly causing the dry rotted original covering from ripping and caving in.
Great works to both of you 😊 I will strongly suggest to you that to have a secondary central main beam support consisting a row of 2x4 from the ground to the apex roof of the shelter or near the center during long and extended period that you will not be there to relief the roof during snowstorm that are moist and wet. These shelter her are very well know to collapse during winter. Cheers !!!
Great job on putting the shelter together! I was thinking this would make a great space to entertain company while you are still in the development stage of your property. I see dinners, card games, shelter from the rain, sleeping cots, etc. A terrific addition to your homestead.
If it can't clear the roof, use the tractor bucket to lift it while Rich scurries beneath to place the pylons to keep it aloft. 😄 We could use some of those garage-in-a-box thingys along the railroad tracks here in Richmond, VA to house the homeless. I know, I shouldn't joke about it but it would actually help. Beats $175 a night that NYC is paying to house people. Love the soundtrack you chose! You guys had it squared up but the manufacturer's frame needs a chiropractor.
Will be nice to have the Tractor covered come the fall and snow... a pole barn might be better for the tractor, implements, quads and other big things you have, super easy, tough, and long life span.
We can't wait to see how the Kubota fits in there! Thanks so much for watching and supporting us. We really appreciate it :-) Rich & Kathie

How's it holding up?
@@davidball6539 So far so good!

Bubble break!!! Awesome!!!!!!
😁
How did it do through the winter?
It made it through two winters...
How did you anchor it
It came with anchors. We have really rocky ground but we did our best and it’s worked so far.
My top rail doesn't have those brackets.The 2 tubes just bolt together with 3 inch bolts.Yours is better.Mine is same product
That is a bummer... 👍
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid I'm putting mine together now and when I do the top rail like the directions say it bends the 2 end pieces.grrr.lol
Hi to you thanks for this very useful video. BUT, WOULD YOU be so kind to tell who is the artist signing in background please. Love it.
It's titled "Weather Any Storm" by Cody Francis. We purchased it through a music subscription called Epidemic Sound. Thanks so much for asking!

No but that’s a great idea. We will try to get one done this winter 👍 thanks for the suggestion
Good job 👍 . Hope you’re tractor 🚜 fits ..
I hope so too but I will find a way no matter what!
I put mine together. I had problems with the burrs trying to slide the parts together. Once together, it was fine.

We were using a piece of rebar, but we weren’t able to get it to go all the way in.
Hello my friend!! Very nice video! Nice upload!
It's nice garage!
It's great! I enjoyed it very much! Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! Have a nice day! 😊😋😎
Thank you very much!
excellent idea full view and thumbs up 👍
thank you!
Nice shelter
Appreciate that!
We used old Railroad ties to raise it up about 10 inches and to anchor it down nicely with a heavy base. Good job.!!!
Great idea!
Good video, answered a couple of questions that I was unsure about. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Sold at HarborFreight for cheaper same product
Thanks! I’ve never seen them there but I’ll check!

@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid the one I saw was the 10x20x9.6 pointed roof
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid I think my comment went to the wrong place + I don’t see the comment I left for you which was nice job looks great
Thanks!
Thats handy. Even if the tractor doesnt fit it will come in habdy. Especially winter👍👍🚜
You got that right!
Best video I've watched so far! Thanks guys
Thanks!
Did you use anything for a base or just ground floor. I want to put mine in the back yard on the lawn.

Thanks for the info. I plan on using wood chips covered by the tarp you suggested. Take care and God Bless.
Same to you
Those shelter work great 👍
Yes they do! We will see how it lasts through the winter with some heavy snow!
Ya don't disagree, u be in trouble
Oh u in Adirondacks ,nice area !!
Thanks! And you’re right, I know better than to disagree!! Lol
Nice looking shelter. I might pick up one for the 65 Chevy truck me and my son just got for a project. Have a good weekend
It’s actually very good so far!
I bought a smaller one a couple years ago and it is still like new !!
That is great! Thanks for sharing.
Very cool video. Nice garage. Cool channel. Subscribed. Crow✌️

They dont stay that warm. Once the snow builds up it can get stuck to the tarp. I'm also about 2hrs south of you.
@@BS.-.- I hear you. We'll see how it goes then I guess. Thanks again for the heads up.
How dry does it keep what you have stored in it after heavy and light rains?
Completely dry. Haven’t had any issues since we added a tarp to the bottom

Will be using the tractor all winter to blow snow off the driveway 👍
@@CreatingASimplerLifeOffGrid sorry wasn't saying wrap the tracker. Winter wrap the car port / garage. It will make it last longer and more sturdy .
@@FA-wf2lwLOL, got it!
Well if the tractor don’t fit it could be a great storage for other things for sure
My thoughts exactly
Looks great! That’s a lot of work 🙂
It was but we like it when we accomplish tasks like this!
It looks good and hopefully the tractor fits if not you can still use it for other stuff.
True but I am determined! LOL
great video. if its not tall enough maybe put it up on 4x4's along the ground. like the bubbles.
Good idea!

I agree. Would love a pole barn just didn't want to build anything permanent until after the house is built next year. Thanks :-)
Curious how the shelter will survive a heavy wet winter snow.
We are curious too since we get quite a bit up here!
I live in the Adirondack and want to know it too.
Mark we will update you in the spring!
I just picked one up at the Ticondaroga Tractor Supply. Hope it holds up to the snow also. Great video.
Thats exactly where we bought ours too! Beautiful area👍
Thank you for the vid you did an excellent job simplifying it. What do you use to make those enormous bubbles 🤣 my girl was asking 👍
Lol. Thanks. The bubble recipe is in the description below the video. It’s water, dish soap and glycerin 😊
