The most impressive thing about this video is you reading all of the instructions before you start building .I didn't even know that was possible to do
ive got one of these, the brand i got was "hide your ride" very easy to assemble but i would advise to bolt it to the ground, you are given the correct bolts to do it and imo makes a MASSIVE difference (the wind will blow the bottom around a bit and the cover will rub against the ground causing it to rip eventually (it would be better if these attached to a tube that didnt sit on the floor, like maybe a half inch behind the bit that does) Ive been using mine for 3 yrs now, up in Glasgow Scotland so thats through lots of rain, sleet and snow, the cover is a bit faded due to the sun now and the bottom has started to wear a bit due to it touching the ground and likely rubbing a bit in the wind but i paid £100 and to get 3yrs out of it so far im delighted, if i expect to get another few years out of it but if not i will buy another and replace it, 100% worth the money and great piece of kit
Thanks that is great feedback. I am thinking of mounting the back half on top of treated wood, maybe 3/4 or 1 inch thick all of the way around, and screwing that to the floor. That way it will keep if from moving, keep it a little above the ground and the front wil stretch down just a little be more, hopefully to stop any pooling at the top, which is does get a little. The quality of the fabric is great, the poles are OK but will need a little help to stop corrosion. I am really pleased with it so far.
I'm in UK near Manchester Airport. Without the ground mat my VFR gets extra damp! And the concrete projects the ice cold into the bike. My bridge stone tyres were mis shapen with contact with the cold floor! I found 3mm rubber matting was too skinny but 5mm rubber matting works best. Enjoy
It is working out really well for me, I am really pleased I have got it. If your drop comment is about the VFR vid, I was on the left of the bike and it fell away from me, because it was so unexpected I wasn't in a postion to stop it. Lessons learned, thinking back this must be the first time in 40+ years and over 30 bikes that this has happened like that. I must be getting old :)
You are my hero Sir! I expected to see a youngster putting it up,but you are my age (old bikers rule) I am delighted. I think I've gone over the top, I've purchased the large one and at the moment I'm riding a 125 oh dear,how sad, never mind! You have saved me a lot of scrabbling around on the cold concrete,by the way we have matching kneeling pad, thank you for your wonderful instructions. 😁👍✅
Wow, thanks! Don't forget to anchor it down using the bolts provided. The wind will try to move it. Ask me how I know :) It's great to ride, no matter what size the bike. I have had more fun on 125s than I can remember.
@@SPANNERRASH greetings! My fallout shelter is securely bolted to the ground, thank you for your concern. I have a bit of a dodgy hip so I'm staying with my 125 for now unless the vet can fix me or shoot me.. Talking of fun with little bikes,my first bike was an Excelsior Consort,98cc 2 speed box and I paid £8 for it. The cursed thing would do about 4 miles before the coil got hot and packed up,I would then have to sit at the side of the road and wait for it to cool down before proceeding! I miss the old days....NOT! anyway must stop rambling, once again thank you for your wonderful video, wishing you many more years of happy motorcycling, good luck. 🤪👍✅
I have a house by the beach , I bought a top end cover that ripped after 2 weeks . Would this tent work or could you advise , I don’t want a full time structure
I've yet to get one of these bike shelters. Although I've got the critical 5mm rubber ground mat too keep bike safe of ice cold or hot weather. The tyres are at risk of deformation otherwise! Can't wait cheers
@@iamjungle3558 I might do a followup at some point in the future but haven't yet. It's holding up very well so far though, no issues with it's first winter.
This is an exceptionally good video, Sir. I'm in Drizzly Seattle with my ZG1000 (tall screen and top box). I'm going to see if Vevor's larger size will fit ASAP. Thank you!
Looks like it will do the job! Do you get much snow? I’m spoiled in South Florida. I keep my motorcycles parked on my carport with covers on them. Thanks for the video! Take care.
Cheers. Some snow, but usually not that much. It is just mostly wet and miserable, with the odd reallly nice day to get your hopes up. Then it's back to rain until April :) Look after your self, don't forget sun screen!
Once you are certain about where you want to keep it, there are specific holes in the bottom frame. There are some at the corner of the back part, and also on the hinges. They send the right kind of fasteners in the hardware pack. They are anchor type fasteners. You drill the hole, put the fastener in, screw the bolt, and it makes the outside of the part in the hole expand so that it doesn't come out. They aren't very big and you only need 1 in each mounting postion, 4 altogether. You do need to anchor it down though or it will move when it is very windy.
If you follow the links in the description they have the dimensions of both Vevor motorcycle tents. I have the smaller one, it has a max height of 1.6m. The VFR is around 1.2m high, mine is slightly higher having a raised screen, but probably only 5cm higher or so. You have to take into account that the highest part of the tent is towards the middle, so the screen only just fits under where the tent goes over it at the front. I hope this helps.
You lost me at the instructions part of the video , as nice as that carry bag is its a bit pointless , it would make the product cheaper to buy without it, i cant see any other use for it either ,. I agree the pipework could be better finished , maybe dipped in something or a better paint finish , maybe spray it with a tin of hamerite before you put the cover on, but once up it looks pretty good and weather proof, ive just bought a "moto gp" out door rain cover for £20 and its good for the price to,. would it not be better /possible to reverse the bike in and put it on the mainstand ? or is it front in first only ?
Thanks for watching. It is working out better than I expected. I will have to rust proof the metalwork, I think I might use some sort of wax. I'm too lazy to hammerite them :)
i have this and i reverse mine in, its much easier, its also lot easier to build than it looks, ive had mine 3 yrs now and not had any issues with rust of the pipes, the cover however has faded due to the sun and the bottom bits that touch the ground have began to fray, however its still going strong and still keeping my bike dry, im in Scotland so you can image the weather we get up here. if you are in 2 minds to get this or not, then get it, trust me its worth the £100ish that they cost, i got the "hide your ride" version, but im guessing they are all pretty much the same. at £100 i was happy to get a year out of it and just get a new one every year, so its massively out performed what i expected, you will go through more of those £20 covers in the time this will last you so would actually save you money just getting one tbh
It is working out really well. I was really concerned when we have had some storms recently, but it was absolutely great. I used the ground bolts that came with it and the didn't move. It certainly keeps the weather off the bike, a really great way of making room for more bikes.
Interesting comment, I will keep an eye on that. But its in a fairly well shaded spot, and the UK doesn't have too many of those beaming sun days either.

Your voice is so calming rain doesn't even matter anymore
Ha, rain never hurt anybody! But getting your bike wet does! ;)
thank you for sharing. Now I can start with mine

Thanks for sharing. You have opened my eyes to something I hadn't even thought would be a problem. I'll have to think about it.
Looks a good idea now my garage is full. In 50 years of riding I've never pushed my bike around standing on the RH side, I just know I'd drop it.

Much better than a tarpaulin! ❤️
You're not kidding! And so much easier to put the bike under quickly.

Thanks for the info! I haven't really thought about something underneath, but I'm not sure the weather in the UK will cause me such an issue.
This video helped me alot, and I agree about the rust issue Mines the same
I'm glad it helped. With a little better finish to the framework it would be almost perfect.
@SPANNERRASH did you happen to do a follow up video with a review on how this one has survived so far?
@@iamjungle3558 I might do a followup at some point in the future but haven't yet.
It's holding up very well so far though, no issues with it's first winter.
Great video. Wish all UA-cam videos were this relaxed and to the point. Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it.

How would u bolt it down to the concrete plz helpful video

Currently trying to figure out a mod to get the last 2 bars over by 12" apehangers.
Good luck. My VFR only just fits in. I have the smaller one, maybe the bigger one would give you more of a chance.
hi,what size is this motorcycle garage?and what is the height of your motorcycle?
If you follow the links in the description they have the dimensions of both Vevor motorcycle tents. I have the smaller one, it has a max height of 1.6m. The VFR is around 1.2m high, mine is slightly higher having a raised screen, but probably only 5cm higher or so. You have to take into account that the highest part of the tent is towards the middle, so the screen only just fits under where the tent goes over it at the front. I hope this helps.
I have an Africa Twin and its height is 1.43 m and I have already ordered the awning that is 1.6 m, I hope it will fit.
I think you would have been better with the bigger one. I think your screen may catch at the front. Let me know how you go on.
You lost me at the instructions part of the video , as nice as that carry bag is its a bit pointless , it would make the product cheaper to buy without it, i cant see any other use for it either ,. I agree the pipework could be better finished , maybe dipped in something or a better paint finish , maybe spray it with a tin of hamerite before you put the cover on, but once up it looks pretty good and weather proof, ive just bought a "moto gp" out door rain cover for £20 and its good for the price to,. would it not be better /possible to reverse the bike in and put it on the mainstand ? or is it front in first only ?

Hi mate what did u weight it down with
I followed up by installing the floor anchors to keep it very solid, but you could also use some old brake discs for example.
@@SPANNERRASH thanks for reply 👍🏻
how are you getting on with it now ?, planning to buy one myself
It is working out really well. I was really concerned when we have had some storms recently, but it was absolutely great. I used the ground bolts that came with it and the didn't move. It certainly keeps the weather off the bike, a really great way of making room for more bikes.
Is the material breathable, was a bit worried about humidity level that would not be so great for the bike. You need something like goretex I think.
It need to be white or grey in the summer your bike will be cooking
Interesting comment, I will keep an eye on that. But its in a fairly well shaded spot, and the UK doesn't have too many of those beaming sun days either.
is it still keeping your bike dry
It's working out far better than I hoped. We have had a few storms and it hasn't been a problem, really dry inside.
@@SPANNERRASH Sounds good my enfield has a cover over it and when i look under it's soaking wet.
just seeing the rust when you unboxed it was enough for me to know never to buy this cheap crap
Definitely a shame that, but it's still a bargain for what it is, it's going to live outside anyway.
