Thank you for taking time to make this video. Very informative. I just need it to cover the big bbq on a rainy day. We call people over, but sometimes it rains. We would only have it up for couple days at the times, when really needed. Great video.
If you buy 2 of these you can use the parts from the second one to double up on the ribs. This makes it stronger and holds more snow. You will also have a spare cover when the first one deteriorates.
I just put my old cover on first with tying it down then put my new cover right over the top of the old one then tied it down.I don't like that there is a gap on the bottom on the end covers, the door and the other end piece.
When mine collapsed after a heavy snow, I bought a second one and used all the unbent parts from the original to reinforce the shed. So instead of having 5 ft between supports, there is only 30 inches. It has held up under heavy snows and heavy winds now for two seasons.
Informative video, thank you for a year review. I am looking for a shelter for my car. Your pros and cons have sold me on what I need to do if I go with this shelter.
I think there were a few things I could have done to have made it last longer/work better. The most important would have been to have mounted it on 20' treated 2x6's one one each side. This would have kept the feet lined up.
We have the Harbor Freight version and like it a lot. The only problem we're having to correct is the condensation issue. The idea behind a shed or garage is to keep things dry. We air ours out during dry weather but during the winter freeze/melt times it can get quite wet inside.
I was thinking I would line the interior walls with roughcut barn boards. They come 8" wide by 12' long. The weight would anchor the building and give back storage space against the wall sides and back side too. How do you think it would up?
I'm thinking of putting one of these on a skid with an interior rack cage built into the skid for hanging stuff on. I'm not setting mine of the ground. I intend to store some stuff in it.
Would wrapping some duct tape on the tubes where the ground bars clamp onto the vertical struts help keep the tarp from loosening up as it slides up? Maybe the added friction would help, instead of the clamps on the smooth surface relying on the tightness of the bolts to keep from moving.
I'm getting ready to put one up, where the ground bars clamp onto the vertical struts, I am going to run a self tapping screw through the clap to keep it from riding up.
Same size I have I got three and a half years before the top let go I'm going to try to have your gauged cover or set next cheaper than having a wood built that like seven Grand now
I just bought one so far ok just need it for a year or 2. But I thought the price was ridiculous for the materials. So will see how long it really lasts.
T, Skipwadoo Either it's a lot lower than the HF 10x17 one or I'm too short to roll up the door without stretching to get the Velcro fastened like in the video
thanks for the video - it's a good common Sense review I'm about to put one of these 15' units up - I got a few rolls of gorilla tape to go over the seams on the clean new tarp - I noticed the sample at Home Depot (which had been there for a year), had rips in the seams forming - those would catch air and cause it to balloon up. We get a lot of wind - but that sample shelter was right up next to the building so I do have some concerns over the seams My solution? going over the seams with heavy duty gorilla tape from day one -before I mount the cover on the frame Then it's getting tucked in shielded from the wind, and I'm putting 3-4 extra ratchet straps over the top Any suggestions or comments on this? I've also ordered another end panel with a zipper that goes up the middle - I'd like to open it up on both sides, with my firewood tucked in behind it (because my neighbor likes to clip anything and everything not nailed down) And I'll have my Malamute planted right there guarding it! 😏 I didn't know if anyone else had tried those generic center zipper end replacements? It's coming in another week so I thought I'd see if anyone else has experience along the same lines with reinforcing with ratchet straps, using an alternative end panel that opens Again, thanks for the informative video. Not much lasts here on the coast, in alaska - but we're going to try to get a season or two out of it. Not a bad value for the money
Does shelter logic have different levels of structures and maybe this is a lighter bargain version? I'm looking at these things to store new tractor in mainly to keep it of weather.
Yes - shelter logic has all kinds of different quality - I had a 20 x13, very different quality cover I'm not a representative, customer ShelterLogic covers a lot of budgets - I'm putting one of these cheaper units up and it's very different quality than my previous one Hardware is pretty good, it's not as heavy duty as the last one of course - but it also costs 1/5th the price My major concern are the seams -the sample unit at Home Depot showed seems compromised after a year being out in the weather, but it was up next to a building I'm asking the question on here how to reinforce those seams- I'm thinking of going over all the top seams with extra wide gorilla tape on clean surface before I even mount it on the frame And because of the winds where I live, I'm looking to put 3-4 ratchet straps across the entire structure to keep it from ballooning. And heavy duty anchors - concrete blocks all down the sides all the reviews I've read from Amazon to Home Depot - we have to reinforce this unit, but if you look at the prices of other shelters? You're not going to get much cheaper than this for the size I'm on the coast in alaska, we've got to do overkill lucky to get 2 years out of this! LoL! But it'll give me a dry place to go for this winter to work on wood, at a fraction of the cost of what I spent on my last one, and for far less than any other building or workspace But I haven't used it yet - I'm just telling you shelter logic is very different quality hardware and covers. Just about every review I have read - It's expected you'll have to to reinforce this particular model
i've been thinking about getting something like that. im going 2 need a big 1 for my 2 deeres, well when i get the 2nd deere.. but i think i should get something made heavy.. cuz we get alot of snow & wind..
***** this is the only i can do it. i dont have the money 4 a permanent building :( i have 1 building on my land now but thats my shop so i cant put my toys in there..
+Johnny B not sure. The winter winds whipped this thing around a lot. It would have been better if I had put a base-board on the bottom, and somehow fastened the cover to it. Once the wind got inside, it would fill like a hot air balloon.
+Johnny B this thing survived for a year in Indiana...including a significant amount of snow in the winter...BUT...don't set your expectations too high. It is worth the money, but not too much more!
when its made out of recycled plastic bottles and not uv protected and is thin as toilet paper what could one expect :) uv protected pvc is the only thing that lasts a bit
@@TractorTimewithTim I really appreciate your video. I had one on my Amazon cart then watched your video. I'm going to build a lean to, instead. I can do it for not much more than that canopy and it will last much longer. Thank you.
I put a crow-bar through the top for leverage, and then screwed them down into the ground. are you having trouble turning them, or having trouble forcing them down into the ground even while turning them?
+Nathan Jones find something longer to insert in the ring to turn it. Longer lever will help with that part. Then, get a hammer and have your significant other tap downward on it while you twist it to force it into the ground. One other thing to try.....water the ground where you want to install it. Perhaps this will loosen the soil. August usually is dry...so soil is hard.
I have 2 of those (same size). I bought them about 2 years apart. They lasted about 3-4 years. Now they are torn to shreds from the sun and wind. I live in New England. Won't be buying another!
your not really into like tweaking and fixing things are you? lol pretty easy to pull those weeds out, patch the holes, throw some boards not he roof to support the snow, and plywood on the sides so you could stack things inside and hell even duct tape to hold those bottom supports tight. boom.
That's why the word temporary is used. I liked this video cause I had no time right now to build horse shelters as more and more rescue horses came in from the kill pens. The shelters have lasted for over a year with huge horses going in and out. A couple of tears and yes some weeds, but I dont even have time in the day to address these simple concerns. The shelter is doing all it needs to do. Love it
The fact is, Shelter Logic sheds have the worst reviews on the planet! Right on TSupply's own website! And yours just helped so many people decode to save their money and build solid. You can buy a LOT of bargain wood for $400.
This one cost me $150. Pretty hard to beat that. Surprised you would have high expectations for something so inexpensive. Would be very hard to build a functioning building with wood for $150. Come on, Man!?!
@@TractorTimewithTim Hee hee hee, C'mon man, you know.... the thing.. but look... Mostly a Shelter Logic costs much more than $150. You got a deal. More like $150 million Corona cases and a dog faced p pony soldier's arm and leg according to some voters. But forgetting about the corpse in the basement, I would vote you are very correct. "I'll buy that for a dollar." Right along with my new gas guzzling 2000 SUX ! (Robo-Cop reference) All in all, Americans are just so to fall for jokes.
@@TractorTimewithTim You can buy a lot of wood for $250 if you look around. But the worse thing about making sheds is the roofing costs, and permits. Ie., I used to buy shingles at $15 a pack. Now its $34 a pack. Sometimes you can get shingles on Craig's List. Storage is such a premium up here in the Adirondack during winter that desperate people give the tents a try. My poor neighbor has bought three, and all three collapsed on his mowers, tractor, and tools under a big snow. One caught the wind one day, pulled out of the ground, and I had to run over for an emergency save. It was like a hot air balloon taking off.
I get your point, but it doesn't make sense. This thing cost me $150. I replaced it soon after this review with the shed I had been saving for, and planning for, which cost $15,000+. I do not believe I over-stated the utility of this unit. Rather I intended to set appropriate expectations. It WILL keep your equipment dry over the winter. It WILL survive a winter with moderate snowfall (actually, the largest amount of snow that we have seen in central Indiana in the 20 years I have lived here). I find your comment unhelpful to the average user with realistic expectations. I would buy one again if I had a similar need.
I'm thinking the main killer of these is FLUTTER. I bet if you covered the frame in like DOW Blue "high density" styrofoam Insulation Sheathing, or Oriented Strand board, before you slipped the tent part over, you could extend the lives of these out to 10-15 years. The main killer of this type of tarp material seems to be flutter, as in flapping in the wind. Just like bending metal back and forth, plastic is the same. If you can stop the flapping, and stop the sagging (from a tiny puddle growing into a sagging balloon- been there done that), you could probably improve its lifetime dramatically. aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/14881/what-is-the-purpose-of-flutter-testing www.homedepot.com/p/7-16-in-x-48-in-x-8ft-Oriented-Strand-Board-386081/202106230?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-202106230-_-N www.google.com/search?tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1776&bih=846&ei=FtQgWr6oAoPFmwHo85OYAg&q=dow+blue+insulation+sheathing&oq=dow+blue&gs_l=img.3.0.35i39k1j0l2j0i24k1l7.655.2247.0.4081.9.9.0.0.0.0.85.557.8.8.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..1.8.550.0..0i10k1j0i5i30k1j0i8i30k1.0.rv1s9_8MDwI A friend of mine just bought one of these, so I was researching how to improve his tent. He paid $150 too from Northern Tool... a ShelterLogic Version, I think about the same size as yours, and I shot him your video to watch.. Anyway I found your real world video review helpful, thanks for posting!
OMG piece of Crap i buy one and i live in puerto rico where an huracane destroy houses so this goin to fly away fast and broke easy ... So sad for me waste of money for 260 i should buy wood and make something better but too late. Thanks for the video
Your shelter looks great and we are glad that you are pleased with it! Thank you for taking the time to shoot and share this video!
Thank you for taking time to make this video. Very informative. I just need it to cover the big bbq on a rainy day. We call people over, but sometimes it rains. We would only have it up for couple days at the times, when really needed. Great video.

+mimi taylor thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review, helped me buy one for my motorcycles as a temp store in the UK
Excellent. Hope it works well for you!
Evening Tim. Enjoyed the classic October 2015 video. I especially liked the jacket. Lol Take care and God bless.
Just before we got our new shed!
Informative video, thank you for a year review. I am looking for a shelter for my car. Your pros and cons have sold me on what I need to do if I go with this shelter.
Thanks for watching!
Tim I would put a set screw in that bracket that kept sliding up on the walls to hold it in place.
The cables attached to the anchor looked to have a lot of slack there which could explain some of the extra movement
Good review. Looks like it wouldn't be bad for a temp. shelter. Glad I've got a barn though.
I had one that lasted 7 years but after 3 winters I put a wooden front and doors on lt with a wooden floor awesome if you keep the heavy snow
I think there were a few things I could have done to have made it last longer/work better. The most important would have been to have mounted it on 20' treated 2x6's one one each side. This would have kept the feet lined up.
Great review... Thanks for the honest feedback

Covering the floor, if feasible, would solve your problem..

Perhaps. Lots of room for this type of innovation with this unit.

Same size I have I got three and a half years before the top let go I'm going to try to have your gauged cover or set next cheaper than having a wood built that like seven Grand now
Maybe strap down several Harbor Freight tarps on ground as a barrier flooring. Good informative and helpful video. Good tips:)
I just bought one so far ok just need it for a year or 2. But I thought the price was ridiculous for the materials. So will see how long it really lasts.
You can put pvc in between each medal bar front to back that helps
Put u bolts on the inside rails and hook 2by4 to them and you will Strengthen the walls and then you can hang stuff and lean against them
Lay a tarp on the ground great moisture barrier, less sweating inside the building
I think I would be tempted to fill all the poles with quickcreet to help keep them from bending/crimping.
It looks exactly like a Harbor Freight portable garage.
T, Skipwadoo
Either it's a lot lower than the HF 10x17 one or I'm too short to roll up the door without stretching to get the Velcro fastened like in the video
Just picked a 10x20 for $60!!!!! The thing has been up for 3 months and the lady wants it gone..so what's a guy to do?
That's a score. I'd buy it at anything under 200
Thanks for the review, I was thinking of getting it while I arrange the garage. I don’t think it will work for me!

I can identify with the way she corrects him.
Dry wall tape is a great repair tape super strong stuff
Geez, I'm thinking of even using reclaimed pallet wood to line the walls with. 🇺🇸😷🇺🇲

Not a bad value for the money
ALSO DOES IT COME W/STEEL LEGS
Thank you for your review. It was very helpful. Question: My driveway is on an incline/decline. Would you still recommend this product?
I would not be able to answer that definitively.
But I don’t see why not.

ShelterLogic covers a lot of budgets - I'm putting one of these cheaper units up and it's very different quality than my previous one
Hardware is pretty good, it's not as heavy duty as the last one of course
- but it also costs 1/5th the price
My major concern are the seams -the sample unit at Home Depot showed seems compromised after a year being out in the weather, but it was up next to a building
I'm asking the question on here how to reinforce those seams- I'm thinking of going over all the top seams with extra wide gorilla tape on clean surface before I even mount it on the frame
And because of the winds where I live, I'm looking to put 3-4 ratchet straps across the entire structure to keep it from ballooning.
And heavy duty anchors - concrete blocks all down the sides
all the reviews I've read from Amazon to Home Depot - we have to reinforce this unit, but if you look at the prices of other shelters? You're not going to get much cheaper than this for the size
I'm on the coast in alaska, we've got to do overkill

against other?
No, not really.
If someone really wanted to steal something they would just cut a new door anyway
great review, thx
What kind of wind loads do you get in your location?
+Johnny B not sure. The winter winds whipped this thing around a lot. It would have been better if I had put a base-board on the bottom, and somehow fastened the cover to it. Once the wind got inside, it would fill like a hot air balloon.
Just considering for Burning Man. Sounds like heavy mods if I go this route. Thanks!
+Johnny B this thing survived for a year in Indiana...including a significant amount of snow in the winter...BUT...don't set your expectations too high. It is worth the money, but not too much more!
i think bricks would work good, i'm in North dakota... and its for my Corvette, it gets n -50 here think it will be good?
snow? It doesn't handle heavy snow load well.
How was the tarp when it rained, did water come thru it or did it stay dry?
Stayed dry.
Will a ‘17 Sierra Denali 1500 fit in this?
Yep.
Tractor Time with Tim will I be able to park in the carport and fully open my drivers door and get out?
Merci mec👍
good vid. thanks
Nice tractor
How well would this hold up to chemical (ie.anhydrous ammonia) spills/ explosions? -Asking for a friend..
It would be rock solid. I'm sure it would withstand an atomic blast. (you are kidding, right?)
@@TractorTimewithTim yes yes. Meth lab humor
Spray on non slip to help it slide
It’s an autoshelter, not meant to hang or lean items on the walls..
i wonder why so many people are complaining about this shed not handing the sun so well.. they end up tearing up top after less than a year.
+Mac Pelao well, it IS only $150-$200. Not sure what folks expect for that $$.

Hey Tim how tall is the door opening and can it be adjusted to make bigger??
It was just over 7' if I remember correctly.
About 7'
