Just found your video. Thank you so very much. This is exactly what I need. I like your extra strengthening details and floor tarp.....I have subscribed to your channel and I will be buying one and or two. If there's a smaller version I will get one for my fire logs....,Thank you very much.
With allotment polytunnels they come with a roll of padded sticky tape to use on the metal frame where the cover touches the frame , especially on the curves corners, because that's where it will rub the most
Great video with good tips from you, thank you. There is an industrial strength version of duct tape marketed by Gorilla. It is stronger and more adhesive than duct tape, but once stuck down it is very difficult to remove. I like your extra anchoring eye in the front of the tent, great idea - if it were mine I would paint it orange to try and avoid stubbed toes.
great garage but if i got one i would have got some greenhouse hot spot tape and covered the bars where the cover comes in contact with the frame it saves rubbing, hope you don't mind me saying.
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.
My one of these lasted 7 years. It split where yours has and the white coating began to fall off the inside and got everwhere. Attempts to patch the rips with duct tape were not successful and the fabric shredded apart in strong winds. I dread to think how much microplastic it put into the environment. A wooden shed now occupies the space.
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 . 🙄🙄👍👍
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

Its the sun thats making the sheeting weaker waxing it would be a good idea to stop uv damage
Doing well for three years David👍
You look 3 years younger than the first video when you put it up 😀👍 it’s serving you well
@stevendavies3563 Ha 😄, yeah it's doing well. Cheers Steven
Some greenhouse repair tape would be ideal for the holes,it's great stuff
Excellent job 👏 👍

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
Your marine shop that sells patch repair for dinghies might help with possible holes.

Do you live in a damp climate. I am surprised the condensation stopped with the tarp on the bottom only
Can't believe that's 3 years ago, where has the time gone?
Very useful video, Thanks :)
The metal pipes get hot and cause the fabric to fail. Either cover the pipes with insulation or tape to stop the heat transfer.
Put pipe armor flex around the pipes where the tarp.wears

Doing well just need feed those failures back to Clarkes, if they were to bond extra patches on those wear points.
Need one of these.
Not bad considering been out in all weathers for 3 years.

I'm guessing that it survived that storm a couple of weeks back.
@@liverush24 yep getting through them at the moment 👍
Nice bitta garage

@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?
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.
Yes, just call Clarke Customer Service where you can order a replacement tarp. Did that with mine, super easy process.
where do you get the tarpaulin for the floor?

@@daveadams4128 I think I found it on Ebay. I looked for the heaviest duty I could find of a suitable size. 👍
Tidy job
Can you buy replacement covering from Clarke ?
@STEPHENANDERSON-z3l as far as I know.
Banboozesis,s are gowd
Bitta ducktape neided
Twentay yers left in thaht
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 bought one and it started deteriating within months. The biggest pile of s*** I ever bought.
I think you gain very little by keeping a car in a garage.

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