mine lasted about a year and a half in the florida sun before it started to rip. taped up a few parts and lasted another 6 months. just bought a replacement cover
I’m getting one to do some painting, I saw a kid paint a car in this and it turned out great , I’m just painting a few motorcycles so I think this will work just fine, thanks for the video
I live in the Foothills of the Catalina Mountains just North of Tucson and 3 years ago my "next door" neighbor, which actually about 2 and half miles away, bought one of these and put a simple 2x4 and plywood floor in it and lived in for over a year while they built their tiny cabin, worked fine for them. They turned it into a home bar/entertaining area after they moved into the cabin. It's been 3 year now and it's still doing fine.
From what I've gathered, though it does make it look better, keeping them tight puts pressure on the upper bends, and that's where they first wear holes. It's also recommended to use the noodle type pipe insulation on the upper bends/pressure points, and that they are covered with a new cheap tarp every year or so because the UV rays will cause the material to fail. But in the end, three years is longer than many of them last, however, some are getting ten years out of the cloth using those fairly simple tips. Thanks for the video.
Our shelter logic has lasted over ten years up here in interior Alaska. The biggest problem is snow load and we consistently remove snowpack using a push broom from the inside. We don't get much wind here in interior Alaska. Condensation is another problem so we keep the door open to minimize icing of the inner walls.
@@RetrieverTrainingAlone Agree. Just wondered if that's how you achieve that longevity, or if yours just lasted that long without the tarp cover so I can know to cover mine, or not?
Stick of pipe in the front door makes it easier to wall up and on mine first thing I did was cut off the velcros I made my own custom holders to keep the door up again put a pipe like electrical conduit makes rolling up 100 times easier
The comments from you and others regarding snow removal tells me this does not shed snow properly. So a guy could not fill it items. He would need to leave an open path down the center so he could get inside and coax the snow off. Might be able to rig something long enough to pull the snow from outside but have to be careful not to puncture the fabric.
My neighbor put a simple 2x4 and plywood floor in his, he and his wife lived in it for a over a year while they built their cabin, After they moved into the Cabin they have used it as a Home Bar/entertainment area. It's been 3 years since they bought it and it's still doing fine.
Thanks for sharing this. I was worried about longevity. They cost $250 now so that is a bit of cash to have rip up and be wasted in just one season. If mine will last at least three seasons in WI, I'll be happy.
Thx for the upload!>>>i like your attitude "you know those guys"...naysayers like to gripe...God love 'em...=\/.....I just put one of these up thinking it would be temporary until i tear down 2 existing wooden sheds, gather materials and build One 10x20 shop...now..i am thinking i am going to use this, at least the frame, as my permanent shop structure... Why not... i see where some have used PVR metal cut to length from the factory to side them with...i have build tons of pole buildings and wooden structures, homes,stores banks, etc... it will work and save me a ton of money on materials...especially with lumber costing what is does right now. That would allow me to put in a window or 2, as well. A flip up awning, maybe to increase outside covered area. We live in Wash state on Puget Sound...wet as heck
Ha ha, all that weight inside and I still blew off. My lazy but parked two tractors inside as soon as it went up. Then I rachet strapped the structure down to the tractors on either end.

Plastic tubing or steel ?

Do you cover yours with a tarp or has it lasted that long on its own? Ten years is great.
@@jackm6307 A tarp as that protects the fabric from UV and helps shed snow.
@@RetrieverTrainingAlone Agree. Just wondered if that's how you achieve that longevity, or if yours just lasted that long without the tarp cover so I can know to cover mine, or not?
I would like to have some photos of direction I took mine down and moved it but can’t find directions

Great advice. Thanks
Michigan winters says it all. I'll pick mine up this Friday.

It's not too tall. Just rake it off with a shop broom or similar
Put pvc pipe in bottom of door and roll it up with door
How durable would you say the cover is? Does it leak?
I love my garage but my tarp blew off 4 times defective tarp but i was able to fix it by attaching it to 4x4's. at the bottom.

Canvas? I assumed the cover was plastic.

Use pool noodles and duct tape on all the wear points and it should last alot longer.
know noticed the plumbers CRACK ?
crack kills
