ShelterLogic 18 x 40- Feet Canopy 2- Inch 7-Rib Frame, White Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We had high hopes of using this as shelter for our RV but it is not made for that. The picture shows farm equipment stored under it and Camping World sells it therefore we thought it would work for an RV shelter. But the company says it is for short term use like day or weekend use. It says it has a 11 ft center but due to a stabilizing bar that goes across (not shown in picture) you loose 18 inches of height. There is no way to secure the horizontal bars (side and top) or the trusses to the side angles - the company says the canopy will hold it together. We found this not to be true. They came apart on the top when we were putting the legs on and a 10mph wind would catch the canopy and pull it apart (we had the canopy as tight as we could get it). We bought extra legs to raise it high enough for our RV but had left it with the one set, as it came, to see how it would hold up to weather. The second night up we had winds and many of the horizontal bars came out of the connector. We ended up going out in the wee hours and taking the canopy cover off. For the money it is poorly constructed. The welds do not go all the way around the angle bars, the lack of holes to screw to secure the bars is poor planning. We bought screws to hold the truss bar to the side angle since there were holes there. Again, the company depends on the canopy to hold the unit together. We have shelters we use for flea markets that are easier to put up and better constructed. I can not imagine going to all the work to put this up for a weekend event. My sister's car shelter sold at a warehouse store is made better and has tension rods to make sure the unit stays together. I am glad Camping World stands behind the products they sell. It would be wise though to put a disclaimer that it is not intended to be used as a storage shelter.

ShelterLogic 10x20 1-3/8" 8-Leg Canopy with Enclosure and Extension Kits (White) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have just completed the instalation of my 10'X20' Garage. I am very pleased with the product, purchased because a friend has had one for over 10 years and replaced the cover only once due to a branch falling through it during an ice storm.
I would like to offer one suggestion to buyers: go directly to Lowes and by 32, 31/2"X1/4" carriage bolts! The time you spend buying them will shorten your instalation time by 50%, as the 3" bolts that come with the unit give you only about 1/2 a thread to start the nut......this is nearly impossible if you are setting it up on anything but a perfectly level, hard surface as the parts will NOT go together tightly enough for you to get the nuts started. VERY FRUSTRATING!
This is not a permanent structure, and I don't have unrealistic expectations for it lasting too long, but if it lasts for 3 years I will have paid $8.00/month for three times as much storage place as renting a 8'X12' shed for $45-60/mo.
Watch the instalation video at the Shelter Logic website. It will help, but don't expect YOURS to go up that easily.
**Don't put the lower cross braces on early as directed in the instructions..it's a waste of time and has to be all taken apart again!

Tough and easy to assemble, the ShelterLogic 10-by-20-foot eight-leg Max AP canopy makes an ideal cover for your patio, vehicle, or special event. The Max AP canopy features a heavy-duty 1-3/8-inch all-steel frame bonded with a DuPont thermoset-baked-on, powder-coated finish. As a result, the frame won't chip, peel, rust, or corrode, helping the canopy hold up to heavy rains and freezing temperatures. The polyethylene cover, meanwhile, is also durable, with a triple-layer, chemically heat-bonded, enhanced-weave ripstop construction that's 100 percent waterproof. Need to stay dry when hosting a barbecue or storing your speedboat? The Max AP holds up beautifully. The canopy is even UV treated inside and out with fade blockers and anti-aging, anti-fungal agents, so it won't discolor or get moldy over time. The canopy comes with a one-piece fitted full valance cover, bungee cords, foot plates, and temporary spike anchors, along with an extension kit and enclosure kit. The extension kit lets you broaden the sides of the roof to hold even more people, while the enclosure kit turns your canopy into a garage-like structure.
