Peak Style Roof Instant Garage Carport Car Canopy with Steel Frame and Waterproof UV-Treated Cover

In June, 2023 we bought the basic 10 by 15 Instant Garage for backyard storage in Arizona. The sun here eats almost everything but I was hoping it would last a few years anyway. Assembly was not complicated although the instructions could have been clearer. Nevertheless, the shelter went up easily and the shelter did its job well for a while. However, by the end of the year stress marks began to appear where the cover touched the framework on the sides and a couple of winds later the cover fabric began to separate and tear. The sun cooked it a lot faster than I had hoped. In mid-February we decided to ask about warranty for that kind of damage. I filled out the online warranty request form about noon, sending a few photos of the damaged areas. I received a response from the Shelter Logic Customer Service Representative Jay just a few minutes after 3 the SAME DAY approving the replacement of the cover free of charge! He also offered an upgrade to the heavy duty cover replacement covers taking $200 off of the retail prices. THAT IS CUSTOMER SERVICE AT ITS BEST. Having had a few other issues with other items from other companies, I REALLY APPRECIATE Shelter Logic's response and highly recommend them. Although I cannot afford right now to upgrade, I will plan on doing that in the future when this second cover requires replacement. THANK YOU JAY and SHELTER LOGIC for taking care of this the way you did. EXCELLENT SERVICE. Richard Bartz

The tent in the photo was my first one which lasted little over 4 years until a nasty storm took it out! I believe that where the tent is placed plays a big part. It was originally behind the house, under trees, in an area sheltered from major wind. I moved it to a more open area of the yard and noticed that one corner was not anchored down(kids). I believe this was why the wind was able to di the damage you see in the photo. I got a new one a week later and put it in an area that was both a little more open but under a tree and I anchored down all four corners. This one is 2 yrs old and this past winter was brutal. This one did not fly away but there are many areas that now have weakened spots, so I will need to get a replacement cover or duck tape the weak spots. The rivets for the bungies to tie up the door panel, one ripped off the other is not quite off yet but I can see that it is working on it.

Well! What a nice surprise. Our Shelter Logic 1015 Garage in a Box, to be used as my workshop, is Sturdy, Stable, Dry, Attractive. Was not expecting all that. Very pleasantly surprised... Pros: The box was in good shape, undamaged and properly sealed though plenty heavy for one to handle, and delivered on time. The packing was organized and nice and tight without a lot of waste material. As a matter of fact, some of the material used for separators was useful for reinforcing the wear points. All the parts were there except for one nut on one wire clamp. Impressive! Nothing was damaged or out of place and the unpacking was a breeze if a little daunting. There are a LOT of parts and it looked like more of a task than it actually was. The instructions were a pleasant surprise also. There are very few written words and the images are, for the most part, well made and easy to read and follow. There are a few suggestions to make to improve them that I will cover in the "Cons". Assembly for one would be a REAL challenge. I started off alone and got all four arches complete with some difficulty because they are quite ungainly with the fasteners loose. 1-1/2 man hours. I got some help from a good friend (oil field mechanic) the next morning and I don't know that I could have done it without him. He and I spend 3 hours together to finish and that includes finishing the treated wood base frame I had started earlier and anchoring it all to our flat but unlevel asphalt parking slab.. So, 7-1/2 man hours total. Not Bad. This thing is well designed and thought out and everything fits pretty well. Cons: Not too many really, and pretty minor, considering... There are a few pages where a few words or even hieroglyphs would have been useful and saved a do-over or two. The part numbers are all there but are sometimes smeared on the pieces, so a better view of the parts on the individual instruction page would be helpful. In some places, it is not clear whether the view on the page is of the inside or outside and that is generally important. Some of the helpful hints in the circles are not as helpful as the could be because they make little or no sense. A few of the You Tube and even Shelter Logic's own site change the install sequence regarding the lower horizontal tubes. If I did one of these again, I would COMPLETELY assemble the frame and then install the ends and canopy on a squared and secure frame. As it is, the frame is too imprecise to allow final assembly without some trial and error. Improvements: We attached ours to an existing carport frame on one side and to a treated lumber side and closed end frame anchored to the asphalt on the driveway. It is REALLY screwed down well, and almost rigid as a result. I have put Gorilla Tape patches on all the outside stress points there UV and abrasion seem to do their dirty work. I have reinforced the inside of those same areas with the tarp material left from packaging. I wrapped all the joints with Gorilla Tape for wear resistance. Finally, I have purchased a well reviewed product called 303 Aerospace Protectant and UV spray and will treat the entire surface before summer. Summary: All in all, a very well designed and manufactured product by Shelter Logic, and well handled by Amazon. Happy right now. We shall see what the 100+ deg East Texas summer or first tornado or hurricane does.

The ad clearly states MADE IN USE in more than one place.. That is flat out FALSE!! It is made in China and is extremely low quality. It is NOT waterproof as stated. they claim to have a one year warranty but they do NOT honor it. The zipper on the door was defective and not installed properly After being up for just over 2 months we got a little rain and it leaked destroying a lot of my belongings. A couple weeks later a small amount of wind got inside through the defective door zipper, since I had it properly anchored in all 4 corners it apparently caught the wind like a sail and bent numerous pieces the extremely thin metal frame. The term "HEAVY DUTY" can be subjective but I do not know how it could be any lighter duty. Newspaper is stronger than the cheap cover. The term "WATERPROOF" is NOT subjective and the cover is NOT waterproof at all. I filed a warranty claim on line as directed and I was immediately denied stating that "acts of nature" and not covered. Rain is an act of nature. Wind is an act of nature.. They do not state what. They do not state what water it is proofed from and I just got taken for $335. for thinking that rain was water. The wind would NOT have gotten inside if the zipper was not defective. After I got the warranty denial, I called them and as soon as I started explaining the issue to the shelter logic employee, I was hung up on. A few more tries and I finally talked to someone who just repeated that wind is an act of nature. Then they had audacity to take more of my money for replacement parts that were falsely advertised in the first place I will be contacting Amazon and my Credit card company about getting my money back and the Federal trades commission about them falsely claiming that it is made in the USA.. They could have just honored their warranty,, NOW this is going to get REAL UGLY and cost them and me a fortune

I have the knock off of this that I use as a greenhouse. Happened to see these on sale and ordered 2 of them. We started putting the first one together today.....and it went pretty well. The frame tubing is a little sturdier than my other one and each joint is bolted together - which is think it much better. Is it a bit of a fight to line up the holes at time? Yes it sure is. Also a few of the joints - I had to file inside the pipes to get the metal edges of the holes filed smooth so the other piece could slide in.....no big deal really. The instructions are not really bad either.....However, since I've put these together before I already have a good idea how it worked. I'm not as sure if I hadn't would it have been as easy. The cover also seems a bit better quality than my other one. The one main complaint I have are the bolts. There are 3 different sizes that all come together in a large bag. Two of them are so close to the same size you spend time trying to find the longer ones. I wish they'd come in separate bags to save time. Since this one will be staying up my plans are to put filled sand bags around the bottom for stability and to keep any water out. Part of the inside will be parking for a vehicle with the back part a little storage. The floor will have plastic sheeting on it initially until the grass and anything else can truly die after I spray it. Then I'll add a pallet and plywood floor to the storage part. Overall I have great luck with portable shelters - just make sure and get them tied down tight and the cover on well. I also faced it where most of the wind will hit the side and not the end. I've noticed that all these shelters seem to have more issues if wind hits the end where the parts overlap than the solid sides. The tie down stakes are nice and deep and sturdy. I do tend to add extra ones in the middle as well....just for extra support. This is a nice little shelter.

I guess you could say I “got what I paid for”. The package came a little rough looking, but the box was not torn and there was only one strap that was broken. I opened the box to find the tarp neatly folded on top with a loose set of galvanized pipe beneath, a few packages with miscellaneous fittings, the instructions and nuts/bolts (thankfully only one package was torn and I actually found the missing piece). First thing I did before even looking at the instructions was separate all the parts and pieces. I separated the pipe by serial number (some were very hard to read). I put all fittings together but separated by type. I then opened the package of bolts which were a mixed bag and separated them by length (NOT FUN, they are very similar sizes) and the counted them, as well as the nuts and washers. Then I looked at the instruction books parts list and made sure I had everything it called for. Once I started reading the instructions, I was very thankful I separated all of the parts, because that alone saved me about 90 minutes I would have spent looking for them in a mess of pieces. The instructions are decent but I hope I can save someone a little time by not having to go back and redo things like I did. First I laid all the frame pieces on the ground in the shape the instructions told me and bolted them together using the correct size bolts (the galvanized pipe is thin and it will pinch the pipe if you tighten the nut too much). Once the frame arch's were together I started to connect the “roof” together as the instructions showed me. I bolted them all together and at this point it instructed me to lay the anchors in the ground in the corners (I have a problem with this in a moment). It then instructs me to strap on the front and back pieces of the tarp (this part of the instructions is where I started getting confused). The ratchet straps are loosely in their sleeve with nothing to keep them from pulling out (which I did, MULTIPLE TIMES). I recommend you attach the ratchet to the bottom of the strap before you start moving the tarp. Im not sure if the instructions wanted me to tighten the tarp over the lip of the front/back walls or unbolt the frame and wrap the pipe with it because it was unclear to me, but I just tightened it behind the lip. The tarp started ripping as I tightened the ratchets. I then proceeded to put in the main tarp. I didn't pay attention and I put it on inside out at first, so make sure you pay attention. (I skipped the part where you put the pipe through the bottom of the tarp and then pull the tarp over with a rope, I regret that because that would have definitely made it easier to an extent. Also, don’t tighten the ratchet straps at this point, just attach them to the corners). Then it instructed me to bolt in the bottom of the frame and this is where I had a problem with the anchors because its hard to see if you have the legs equally distant apart unless you were smart and measured the length of the frame before you anchored it which I did not. So I had to move the legs to adjust to the pipe length and fittings. (Double check your attaching the pipe at the right level of the frame for both sides before you tighten the bolts.) After tightening the straps, bolts of the bottom of the frame and rolling up the tarp opening, I stepped back to look at the final product. There were bends in the pipe from tightening the bolts, the frame was weak, the tarp ripped in the corners where the ratchet straps are and the ratchets were slipping while trying to tighten the straps. Overall, like I said, you “get what you paid for” in terms of a portable shelter. Its been up for 24 hours and we have 20 mile an hour winds tonight. I might have an additional review in the morning.

I own this portable garage (10" x 15") from Shelter Logic more than 5 month.I live in Putnam County NY.After i build it up it was tested with all weather conditions,from hurricane Irene to our October heavy snow storm.If place where you want build it up have little angle,still is okay.Just if you have there some bumps or holes,make it flat.I build it half on grass and half on parking blacktop.For secure on black top take your instructions plane and visit local hardware store and ask there.They will help you.I was used longer drill and few Expansion Anchors with nuts and washers.First of all.FEW FREE TIPS; A)Don't be silly and when you will build it up CHECK TO INSTRUCTIONS,FOLLOW NUMBERS AND YOU WILL SAVE FEW HOURS OF MY WORK.Because i was stupid j.. a.... and "Smart" people never read instructions.BUT IN THIS CASE I WAS WRONG.All tubing have a numbers and are big help.So that why i finish it little later,but I DID IT JUST MY SELF,without someone help.Just every time finish one side,don't jump here and there and think. B)If you have a plane build it under tree,like i did,be sure you,(or ask someone),better trim all large branches few feet top on your shed.If they fold down because of heavy snow or big wind they will hit and can damage your cover or all shelter. C) Secure your garage with Shelter Logic 30" Auger Anchors model # 10075.0,($20 at Home Depot) They are longer and will hold it down much better and stronger. D) SNOW REMOVAL!!Still construction is just from light tubes.(Don't forget.How much you paid.) DON'T LET IT COVER WITH HUNDRED POUND OF SNOW!It is much stronger than looks and can keep few pounds of snow ,(i do it when have have 3-4"),but it's individual,depend if is heavy or just nice,light snow.Better early than late.(Check all pictures) If you will follow my tips,you will also enjoy this cheep but great portable garage.If you are little tired from regular cover,(still up and down),and also from snow removal it's for you.It's good size for my 2010 JEEP Wrangler JK and now is my toy still clean and shiny.I doesn't work for Shelter Logic.I'm just happy client and doesn't like that all bad reviews.This is my first review and i hope you will understand it and will little help to you.I will try also download few pictures.So... YOU CAN DO IT! GOOD LUCK. >>>UPDATE<<< AFTER 16 MONTH I STILL LOVE IT!!!!! If you will LOOK AT MY FEW PHOTOS you will know why. TWO BEST STEPS; 1)>>> READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and YOU CAN SAVE FEW HOURS <<<, 2)>>> Better REMOVE SNOW <<< As you can see,my JEEP can fit there ok.Don't buy it for 2005 Toyota Corolla.It's longer than 2door Jeep JK! AFTER that VERY BAD HEAVY SNOW STORM last year AND AFTER HURRICANE SANDY is my SHELTER LOGIC portable garage still in good shape.As you can also see on my photos,this Spring a installed for better ventilation ShelterVent Part #10031. TIP;You can put on door steel but light weight electric tube.Just roll up with hands and doors will keep a shape.If any questions regard this product,you can email me to [email protected]. Good luck guys.

Assembly wasn’t too bad and for now it is up. Don’t know how long it will last. The bad. Well instructions feel like it is printed for 20 products so spent the first 10-15 minutes trying to find the 8 longer bolts that needed to go in a certain place. I even got out fricking calipers. Nope only two size bolts not 3. No worries just needed to bend the metal to make the second longest bolts fit. Which was a lot easier than I hoped. The metal is so dang thin even when the holes are just circles and all the bolts are carriage bolts that spin when you try and tighten them, the metal tubes will still bend. That doesn’t mean it is sturdy by any means so I have (8) 80 pound cement bags in buckets with ratchet straps holding it down. The biggest problem was the QC. Two of the pipes that have to go into another so they are made to fit inside where so flared at the end I had to roll it in a pipe bending machine just to get it to fit normally. If you can’t fix a flared pipe this is not the product for you. I found out during assembly so I was well over an hour into it so I wasn’t going to try and send it back, also passed the return window. Another fun issue was the amount of very very sharp edges. Some were inside the tubes from being punched out and the pipes had a really hard time going in. However one really took the cake. It was on the joint that goes on top of the front or back. It had a curled piece of metal that was so sharp it cut me good and open. Furthermore since it is where the tarp touches the frame it would’ve shredded the tarp instantly. I had to get tin snips to take off the bir. After that I went over all the bits to make sure there wasn’t more. There was. If the frame holds up and the tarp dies (it will) the frame might do better with a lot of self tappers and some exterior metal skins. It was only two hundred and fifty when I got it but for the current rate of three ninety not worth it. So yeah if you have the tools to fix what they call good enough might be good for now for you but I would not buy again.

The tent garage is good. It took longer than 2 hours to set it up, but it's fairly straightforward, and the instructions are excellent. I did quite a bit of the setup on my own, but it was helpful to have extra people there when putting the cover on and getting the frame up. I would have preferred that Shelter Logic sorted the carriage bolts of different lengths into different packages. If you purchase this, be sure to sort them by length before you put the garage together. The tent was an excellent deal on Amazon, and came with everything needed including the anchors. I would purchase this again.

hard to set up, but held up during summer rains and winds. Took down and stored for the winter, and plan to reuse next summer as an outdoor work area.

Did not last 2 seasons! Started to tear before the end of first season (summer). This was our second one. The first lasted much longer. Very disappointed this time.

Easy to assermble but even with great care the cover ripped . It's very thin and plastic like and doesn't seem to have no core of woven threads to give it resistance or structure . I'd be surprised if it made it through the whole winter but we'll see !

Okay, so it took 2 of us about 6 hours to put up...including shoveling the snow out of the way and feeding the deer. But it was great fun and has easy to follow instructions. Highly recommended!
