Your comments were great. They were complete . The product is very good. Thank you
I like people who answer questions. Good video.
Hey thank you for the info! Great video, I’m wondering which size did you get? I’m assuming the large cover correct?
My area is windy 15MPH in the fall and spring. Can you anchor it down or is it heavy enough to stay down
Excellent video. Just use a couple of 8x 3/4" self tapping ITW or TEC screws to hold the faulty connection together. and your set. Thanks for sharing
Hi there, can you provide an update on this car shelter? Is it still holding up well? I have a Model Y and want to order one, but wanted to confirm whether you would still recommend it. Also, do you have to take the cover off to charge at home?
Great video. Any thoughts on a Toyota Tundra fitting under this? I haven’t gone to website yet. Thx
I am in SoCal too and would LOVE this! The sun is tearing the paint job up on my luxury Infiniti QX80. Unfortunately the manufacturer said the largest one they have is not tall enough for my SUV. I'm considering just building a 2"x8" box frame to sit the carport on to provide the additional height, but then I'll have a gap on the front and rear. Maybe I can get creative and sew some additional material on the front and back to cover it up.

Sounds like a plan
Hey bud thinking about getting one, how has it been holding up?
Can you put these in the grass or only anchor to concrete?
Can you provide tips on how you put the cover on, e.g. did you start in the middle? I have this car canopy and I have a bigger gap in the front and back bottom.

I threw it over the middle and worked from one need to the other
How does it hold up to really windy days? Is it anchored?
I’m sold
Great Video!! thank you….
If I have it on a slanted driveway will it fall back down if I open it?
Hi how's the car cover now its over 2 years old?
Was that a size large? How much was it?
Bought this. Does protect the car from the sun, BUT, the vents are not good enough for hot weather. It gets super hot inside the tent even in 70 degree weather with both side vents open
Hi, can this car port be folded all the way down to the floor in the open position?

no it cannot. What I do is fold both sides up for a pass-through when I need to charge the car.
It seems that you didn't secure it to the concrete driveway, are you worried about wind or?

wind shouldn't be much of an issue given that it is placed next to the house.

Not really worried about wind much in Southern California. there are gusty months, but so far, it's handled it well.

it's still working well. The fabric could use a good cleaning and no, I never anchored it because I wasn't exactly sure where I wanted to place it with 2 electric cars needing to be charged and kids using the driveway for fun.
I wish had this before my 2002 is 300 dash melted from the texas heat
How much did it cost?
Doea the back lift ?
The problem with them is wind, in uk we secured ours in concrete as well but it wasnt the frame that moved it was the canopy its self ripped with wind.

sorry to hear about the canopy ripping off. Might have to looking for more of a solid structure in your weather situation.
Can Amazon provide you a installer which I know it’s not free thanks
Drill a new hole for that bad pipe. Did they get you a new pipe?
I wouldn’t recommend this for heavy snow climates, I live in western ny and we’ve been bit with several snow storms recently and mine collapsed despite 4 12” heavy duty tent stakes and 4 70lb tube sand bags on it, it was fine until we got a lot of snow, I’ve contacted them and I’m waiting to see but the canopy is a total loss and thankfully I didn’t end up storing my car inside otherwise I would have had a damaged vehicle, it almost fell on me as well, take away the heavy snow and it was fine, problem is the snow doesn’t come off it it just sits on it and it’s too tall reach snow on top, snow turned to ice, do your research before you get one

The Ikuby carport is rated for light snow. Most shelters are rated for light snow regardless of what they claim. Do not use it in snowy weather. Just keep the carport open at both ends.

I used tapping screws on all the poles. Didn’t trust the tabs locking the poles together. Lasted 2 New England winters with heavy snow.

@Ilir Lecaj The frame is holding strong but put self tapping screws everywhere you see the tabs connecting the poles together. They will come out if you don’t reinforce the frames additionally. Also make sure you install on a level surface or the carport won’t close all the way down without putting alot pressure and force.
Them car covers that cover the entire car always scratches my car while putting it on and removing it. Sucks i hope this canopy helps! Hope someone in the US starts making it cheaper.
Is that the small/medium or the large?

I got the large one for the SUV
Will it shift, blow in a storm and hit the car? Will the fabric flap against the paint??

Nope - it's been almost a year and if anything, I put pool noodles inside where the doors might make contact to prevent any unnecessary scratches from the kids opening the door too fast
Why not build a carport over the cars ?

Is that a Tesla? Woaw, I thought when it was so quiet and noticed the T. It looks so regular like a Ford Focus or alike. I thought they were supposed to be a luxury E.V. Then I suppose Environmentalist folk want something minimalist. I haven't seen one here in Ireland or Europe.

It's hideous. Not sure why Tesla likes to make ugly cars when you have plenty of other companies adding simulated grilles and providing much more attractive designs. If the future is this ugly, I don't want it.
Good for thief to hide inside and taking his time to steal your vehicle.
