As with poly tunnels, some foam tape at the curved parts of the tubing should have been included in the kit as it is an obvious point of wear. Good tip re the ground tarp and condensation though - thanks.
To be fair Clarke stuff is usually pretty good. For £330 to keep you out of the weather while you are repairing cars is pretty good value if it genuinely lasts three years.
Just bought two 10ftx15ft to use just one and aone spare for future been using 3.6mx3.6 metre new boxed but for last two years I bought a £100.00 slight second hand just 8 weeks use from chap that's the one been using for last two years so look forward to using my new one 10 x15 some day .there're great things tend to leave them up till rotten
As far as I know you can get replacements from either Clarke or Machine Mart. Obviously it would need to be a Clarke frame and they would need the frame size.
Sadly, built from the wrong material to begin with. UV and friction destroys these woven tarp materials very fast. There are better 'fabrics' available, but I guess everything is built to a price, not a specification. A good space, certainly, but a very short term investment.
Just a bad design of Clarke , they should made reinforcements on every corner against that "rubbing " so all you can do it to glue some extra tarpaulin on the fragile places . 🙄🙄👍👍
Excellent job 👏 👍
I remember watching the video when you put this up it's done really well all weathers considered so more than worth it's money
Doing well for three years David👍
Its the sun thats making the sheeting weaker waxing it would be a good idea to stop uv damage
I put one of these up in the Summer of '21...storm Ardern peeled it off the concrete that November. Time for a tin shed this Summer. Wish me luck.
Good Luck
3 years has really flown by
Some greenhouse repair tape would be ideal for the holes,it's great stuff

Can't believe that's 3 years ago, where has the time gone?
Doing well just need feed those failures back to Clarkes, if they were to bond extra patches on those wear points.
The metal pipes get hot and cause the fabric to fail. Either cover the pipes with insulation or tape to stop the heat transfer.
Need one of these.

Not bad considering been out in all weathers for 3 years.

@pauljones1350 you're like me and tools, I always like to have a backup ready 🙂think I should probably invest in a spare cover for the future 👍
Does anyone know if you can get a new cover for them. The recent storms have destroyed mine?

Artificial Grass Jointing Tape is better than duct tape for repairs ..
Mine lasted two years, got blown to bits in a named storm. Never again.

I think you gain very little by keeping a car in a garage.

That and UV degradation, though reinforcement would have been good.
