ADVANCE OUTDOOR 10X15 ft Garage Shelter Steel Metal Peak Roof Portable Storage Shed Carport for Motorcycle Boat, or Garden Tools with 2 Roll up Doors & Vents, Gray

My biggest concern with a shelter like this was that the tarp would be the same cheap kind of tarp that you get at Walmart. I can tell you the tarp for this shelter is made of very thick material, rip-stop PVC, but not at all like the ones sold in camping supplies. I would even call this a 'PVC Canvas'; it is so nice. The shelter was delivered in two boxes, one with all the poles, and one with the canvas and connectors. We did the assembly with two people, but one person could potentially do this alone. It took my wife and me about two hours in total. The directions were very nicely written in American English, not in 'Chinglish.' Diagrams were plentiful and made assembly a snap. When we separated all the parts, a few of the poles had small dings from shipping, but it was not enough to compromise the structure, so we went ahead and assembled it. I may call them to get some replacements, but I'm not overly concerned. The rods and connectors were all neatly packed and, at first blush, look nice and solid. Also, every piece literally snaps into another, which makes assembly very simple. You build the roof first, which is nice because it gives you an idea of the area it will take up, and it can be easily repositioned for optimal placement. Next, you assemble one wall, not two. It is important to only do one wall and then cover it with the doors and roof/wall tarp before erecting the second wall; otherwise, you will need to be up on ladders with two people. Every pole has a sturdy foot at the bottom that stakes to the ground. All of the joints feel nice and thick and super sturdy. Time will tell. When putting on the canvas, you put the doors on first, which are bungeed to the frame, but the roof/wall canvas is where this shelter really stands out. Many other shelters out there have separate roofs and walls which tie to the frame with grommets. The issue I've seen with them is that the grommets tear. Advance Outdoor instead engineers this shelter using a unique belt and pole system with no grommets. The roof and walls are one large piece of canvas. The canvas has a belt on the front and back door that tie down on the four corners using a ratchet strap. It works like a hoodie on a winter coat when you tighten it around your face. Then there are wall poles that slide through tubes built into the tarp near the base of the walls, and horizontal poles clamping those to the vertical wall poles. The ratchet straps and the horizontal wall poles are how the roof/wall canvas is held onto the structure, so there are no grommets to tear or rip. Once the canvas and doors are on the structure, you raise the second wall. At this point, there is some tweaking to get the canvas centered, and it helps to have two people and a ladder at this point. The horizontal poles on the wall should end up about 6 inches off the ground. Another nice feature of this shelter is that you get 12 very solid metal stakes that are about a foot long to give the structure a nice deep anchor into the ground. Overall first impressions: 1. Nicely packed and all parts present. 2. Easy for two people to assemble with only a rubber mallet needed to hammer stakes into the ground. 3. PVC Canvas is an impressive thickness and has a quality feel with a big 'Advance Outdoor' logo. 4. Poles and especially joints seem to be very good quality, with some minor shipping dings on 3 poles. 5. Smart 'no grommet' design of the main roof/wall canvas to avoid the common issue with other shelters. 6. Assembled in only about two hours. 7. Overall, a great experience."

I purchased this in April of 2023 to use as a temporary shelter for equipment while our barn was being built. Our property sat in the middle of the Manistee National Forest in northern Michigan. I put the thing up myself with the help of my wife and kids. Pretty straight forward and the instructions and quality was what I expected for the price point. I have to be honest though, I did NOT expect this thing to last long in that environment. Well….this thing sat in the National Forest for 2 winters and summers and then I disassembled it and rebuilt it in my back yard at home. It has survived another winter and I’m telling you the last 3 winters in Michigan have been no joke! I went out this winter after about 2 feet of snow had accumulated and knocked it off from the inside with a push broom and that’s it! I couldn’t even reach the property the two previous winters to do that and it still stood perfectly intact! It says it’s good for 5 years and I’m at 3, but considering the extreme environment this one was left in I thing 5 should be expected in a less harsh environment. Point is, this thing is a great product for the price! And I NEVER leave reviews but this tent has amazed me! Problem is now I need to replace the fabric and I am having a hard time just finding a replacement fabric in lieu of purchasing the whole thing again. Hopefully Advance is watching and reaches out.

I would have left 5 stars, but the instructions are not very helpful. Fortunately, I have some mechanical experience, and was able to figure it out pretty quickly. I just set it up today, so we’ll see how it does in the long run. I’m on the east side of tornado alley, and do get some serious wind here, along with snow and ice. Overall it seems like a quality product, and it’s the perfect size for my needs. I learned a long time ago with these types of storage systems that it’s best to duct tape all the joints. Helps keep everything in place, and doesn’t allow for damage to the cover during wind. Update: 1/29/26 Well, I didn’t expect to update this quickly, but we just got hit with some of the nastiest weather in some time. Wind, rain, snow, and ice. My bike shed held up well. No issues whatsoever. I’m very pleased with it so far. I keep a Govee in my covered boat, so I can monitor temperature, humidity, and dew point. So I put one in the shed too. Very inexpensive here on Amazon. $10-12 bucks I think is all. The little round one is the ones I use. Been 3 years in the boat and still working perfectly. Anyway, I digress. I highly recommend this little shed. Anxious to see how it holds up in the summer sun.

This is actually very nice car port 10x20. Was delivered next day. Pretty easy to install. Me and my wife who is 5ft tall did it in couple of hours. Tent material is kind of thin but have plastic coat which is absolutely water proof. In my area we don’t get much wind so can not evaluate that. I just set it on wooden blocks and on the floor I put concrete tiles. Also like that you can open doors on both front and back. As improvement can recommend to make easy roll doors up.

Just put it up. Easy with good directions. Took two men and two teen boys just under two hours. Need extra hands to manage the tarp. Looks great. Seems sturdy. Would definitely recommend. Our daughter is getting one for her house to house their son’s ATV, E bike and motorcycle. Plenty of room to work on them under cover if needed.

This car port is exactly what I needed for my Polaris Slingshot. The material is very thick (like a tarp) and poles are well made. It has withstood major rain and high winds. It took two of us to put it together under two hours. What I didn’t realize when putting together the bottom poles is that there are sleeves on the tarp that they go in. (I had to unscrew and retighten the poles to put them inside) These sleeves secured the bottom well. It really is easy to put together. We obviously didn’t read the directions, hence why we missed that part lol We made slight modifications. I placed bricks on the bottom of the tarp to not allow unwanted animals inside (the tarp lays well on the ground for that reason). We also secured it with two extra heavy duty anchors because I live in high winds. Lastly, I use a light pole to help roll up the tarp for the door opening. (It’s easy with two ppl, but rolling the pole in the tarp makes it super easy alone. Other than those minor things, this car port has enabled me to get the toy that I’ve wanted for years but didn’t have a garage! Highly recommend.

the main cover separated right on a seam when i was just about done putting it together. pole assembly is easy but the fit between poles is far to sloppy. instruction are really lacking but i have put together other shelters so its pretty familiar to me. not sure what the 2 super thin stakes are for though. i don't like the Velcro design to hold the ends on. also the bungy strap design needs major improvement. however its a good size 7x12 for my 4 wheeler with plow and my snow blower. Hopefully it survives the winter here in NH. Tip, if you are as short as me then when you do the step where you put the sides pole legs on one side that is when i pulled the main cover over it before it all got to tall for me to reach. i cant either recommend for or against your purchase decision. its made in china so i expected cheap quality

We use this as a storage garage for a 12 foot popup camper, and the 10x15 option is the perfect size for us. It is made of very thick, sturdy PVC fabric. The zippers are robust and have been easy to zip and unzip. Assembly was straightforward but we needed a third person to help with putting up the fabric once the frame was complete (we are a 70+ year old couple). We especially like the horizontal stabilizers near the ground. We get pretty stiff wind at times, and so far this has been rock solid. It's not flimsy at all. We put sandbags along the bottom flaps to help with stability.
