Thank you so much for your video. I just installed my own 10 x 15 x 8 round top and I’m going to install the metal wall studs like you have. Excellent idea.
Thank you! Good luck with your project. I never thought about adding the studs while I still had the original factory cover. I wonder if mine would have lasted longer?
Hello Scott, I was just stopping by after you left your Comment on my reinforcement Video, and I sure am glad I did, I have saved several of your newer Videos to watch later, when I start on Housing repairs... You have a Great Channel 👍👍👍✌
Had a neighbour who tried this in town, bylaw officer forced them to remove the metal cladding. A temporary shelter is permitted nearly to the street but adding metal makes it a "permanent" structure and therefore must be set back from the road (e.g., 40 ft) like any garage. If you are living in a town, check the bylaws first.
That is good information. Thank you. I checked our county building code and found the following: In our county you can build a structure that is 100 square feet or less without any permit from the county as long as no one lives in the structure or has electrical wiring inside. The minimum setback is 30 feet from the center of the roadway to the front of the structure and 5 feet on the remaining sides.
Just saw your video, and thanks for some good ideas. Im a retired sheet metal worker from a roofing and fab shop, and I definitely miss being able to make things like what you did there. Have you considered using a button punch to go down your standing seems to keep them together? Did you lap your joints so they shed water on both sides? I've got two of the 20' long sheds, and I'd rather in roof sheets than another plastic cover. Those steel studs are definitely a good suggestion, I'm going to frame in both ends with them and do away with all of the plastic.
A button punch is a good idea. I just crimped the seam with my hand seamers and gorilla strength. I did overlap the seams downward on each side so the top panel had female standing seams on both sides. I am waiting for the tarps on the side to fail and I will probably close in the ends as well. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Good luck with your project.
Exactly what I was looking for, I have a 10x17ft portable garage and I'm looking to strengthen it's roof for the upcoming winter here in Canada (Ontario) I'm gonna try the steel studs method of yours
Fair enough in any event you did a gret job i double ribbed mine for additional strength plus an inner layered tarp and then the factory tarp for the finish
@@HamiltonServices530 it really did make a difference with 2 layers of tarp and double ribs for additional strength, I found the factory ribs were to far apart simply put not enough of them so I found one no more in use same size and doubled up on everything huge difference.
That is interesting how a tarp from Harbor Freight could outlast the Shelterlogic tent material. Good to know for folks who are unable to put metal on the roof. Thanks for dropping a comment.
@@monkeyoperator1360 My UTV garage in a box shelter came with the standard cover. It only has a one year warranty which most shelters have unless you order custom shelters directly from the shelter logic website. There are options for a 14oz. cover which has a 10 year prorated warranty or a 21.5oz. cover which has a 15 year prorated warranty. When I chose the same dimensions as my shelter using the 21.5oz. cover, the price jumped from $429 to $1099. Wish I knew someone that had the heavier cover to get their opinion on the more sturdy cover.
@@HamiltonServices530 i found your video while i was searching for information about the heavier covers. cause i am thinking about getting one so i can avoid my tax bill going sky high
Im about to replace my original cover with ondura premium 9 roofing panels, cheap, strong, nice looking; much more durable than original cover now shredded from wind n snow.
@@Kyle-ev4fk The metal studs are pretty easy to fit in between the supports. I have another video out there on how I cut the metal studs. The easiest way to cover the frame with metal is to use the wavy corrugated metal or poly panels. Everything will overlap easily with minimal cutting and no folding of the metal whatsoever. Thanks for the subscription!
@@Kyle-ev4fk I had to fabricate the metal I used on my shelter logic in the sheet metal shop I work for. I suppose any prefab metal roof would work as well if you wanted the standing seams. However, I just finished the metal roof on our house build project. The prefab panels can be kind of expensive if you are looking for something budget friendly.
According to the website of the store I purchased them at, they are 25 gauge studs. Here is the brand info from the website: ProSTUD 25 3-5/8 in. x 10 ft. 25-Gauge EQ Galvanized Steel Wall Framing Stud.
I tried writing a description but it was getting quite long. I will put together a video for you. I don't have any of the metal stud material left over but I think I can do it with some folded paper. I will send you another reply with the link to the video.
@@7thsignthenorthcoast146 I imagine wood could be a little stronger. I was just in sheet metal mode when I did the mod. Will you be posting a video of the mod on your channel?
I can't believe anyone still uses this product. The failures of these shelters seem overwhelming. it's hard to comprehend why anyone still uses their shelters.
I have a 20X20 Just put a beam made out of 3 laminated 2x6 and 3 posts down the middle along the top under arch Have had upto 3ft of snow on it with no problem
Thanks for the info. I guess I am money ahead having only spent $500 for the original shelter and the metal upgrade. Would have loved to build a garage but I needed something real quick to store my UTV/snowplow at the time.
Best idea that I've seen to date. Really like how you added the metal studs on the top section.
Thanks. Hopefully you can use some of the ideas on your project. Thank you for dropping a comment.
Thanks Scott. Your metal wall studs will suit a similar project I have in mind.
@@caretakerfochr3834 Awesome! Good luck with your project.

Excellent job! Was thinking of something similar, thanks for sharing your ingenuity.
Thank you and good luck with your project.
Wonderful! Really innovative ideas. Thank you for posting this. I'll do something similar with mine here in northern New England.
Great! Thank you. Good luck with your project.
Excellent Video, this should last many Seasons... 👍👍👍✌
That is my hope. I will have to come up with a clever door opening once the zipper panels decide to fail.
we are getting ready to do a HF Coverpro version of your shelter. I just happen to have a number of metal studs available ....great idea
Thank you. Good luck with your project!
Retired sheetmetal worker. I miss being able to make things at the shop!
I enjoy working in the shop much more than crawling in attics.
@@HamiltonServices530 I'll second that!
For real this guy is living in the future!
Love the metal wall stud idea. Thanks!
Thank you! Hopefully it helps with your project.

@@lancewalker6067 Thank you. Hopefully this video helped if you plan on modifying your shelter logic.

I would be interested to see how that came out. Sounds like that would protect the factory tarp from sagging and ripping.

Came out awesome I've been thinking of doing the same thing
Thank you for the compliment and also taking the time to leave a comment. Much appreciated.
Bought a tarp from Harbor Freight for under $20 bucks, threw it over the shed, anchored, the 4 corners, and it's lasted for five years now.

So true! The cost of metal is skyrocketing! Good luck on your project.
@@HamiltonServices530 thnx!
Might you post a youtube video of the finished product? I'd be interested to see how it turns out!
Cool idea. Is this a cost effective for someone who doesn't work at a sheet metal shop. Subcribed.

You're welcome.
From their website, the cheap 9 oz is standard with a 1-year warranty. With a 14.5 oz cover, 10-year warranty. With a 21.5 oz cover, 15-year warranty.
Great ideas

Hi Scott
Thx u for this video!
You have shown some great ideas!!
You're welcome. Good luck with your project.
Good job!!
Thank you very much! I also appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
Good job
Thank you!
@@HamiltonServices530 I just used scrap wood from Home Depot to use as extra support for the roof. But your idea is much much better.

Oh wait! I think I just found it. I will check it out.

@@jim9337 I will never buy one again. That is for sure. At least I have this one to a point where it is reliable enough for my UTV snow plow rig.
I have a 20X20
Just put a beam made out of 3 laminated 2x6 and 3 posts down the middle along the top under arch
Have had upto 3ft of snow on it with no problem
That sounds like a good idea as well!
Patent it!
Won't start !
You can build a real garage for like 3 grand

In California, $3K might cover your permit fees.
@@kerrihamilton0393 LOL. Where is "Jerry Brown?"
Not everyone has the money or no how or time for this.
then this video isnt for you. move along
Are you Russian troll
I already have your wasting my time
This saves a lot of money.
I never had the know how either until I exerted some intellectual effort to learn and teach myself.
