I got one of these over 20 years ago. The house has been sold and it is still standing.

I have had a similar experience with the shelters that are sold by harbor freight.

That held up really well through the rough winters and all. It’s good to see you, and I hope you and Lori are doing well.

I would never have thought the tarp would hold up that well for seven years. The frame maybe, but I would have thought the tarp would have dry rotted and disintegrated in that length of time. I’ve had canvas tarps and plastic tarps over my dog pen that only lasted a few years and we don’t get much snow in North Carolina. Maybe heat and humidity are more destructive than snow. Whatever it is, you made a great choice.

What a great infomercial for the tent company with a little bit of luck. Maybe they will send you a free replacement. It’s the least they could do considering the weight of the snow, and to squeeze a little more live something tells me some parachute cord strung between the supports, kind of like a spider. Underneath the plastic and the small holes looks like just the right amount of ventilation. I came from the big city, but my love for the outdoors and mother nature really change this old man watching you and the family gives me hope.

Six years is a GOOD duration. I think I was one of them voting for a secondary tarp for the UV protection aspect. I'm actually surprised it didn't start to degrade from UV after only 3 years. Now, you do know that Shelter Logic sells replacement canopies? Might be a consideration for when the fabric beings to come apart on you. If you have the luxury of rigging a taught ridge line to afford you a steep angled "A" frame shape to shed the snow, that'd help preservation a lot. Great to see you're getting your money's worth from it.

My folks and I moved to Maine about 2 years ago. We bought a Shelterlogic garage-in-a-box about a year ago. Put a bunch of pallets inside to store stuff and containers; my house doesn't have a lot of storage space LOL. Fairly easy to put together, we had help from my cousins to get the canvas on. The cable anchors were a little difficult job because, well rocks, so I ended up digging holes and dropping them in instead of pounding them into the ground like the instructions said. But all in all, it was a job well done, and it serves well for us. If have any concerns, its just that when we have high winds, like earlier this year, the zippers would slowly little by little and the front end of the tent would lift off the ground 😳 So later on I got tube sand to weigh it down by the door. But it's fine. I'm planning on building a garage structure to replace it at some point. It's fun to build stuff anyway 😁 p.s. I do believe Shelterlogic products are Made in the U.S.

Hi Boss! Wow! That tent garage shed thingy is really a good one. Most I've seen around here usually end up on the back of a garbage truck after just a few years. I can't picture you being rough on your things though. Guess it's all in the way you put it together. It's all about the bass. Lol

I've had my Shelter Logic for 10 years now. I originally bought it to house my Dodge Challenger until my garage got built. I now keep my firewood in it. I have a model with a high sloping roof. Never had issues with snow. We got 10' of snow in a month in 2015 (I live in MA) and never had to remove any snow from the roof. The bad part is it's so high up installing the doors is a impossible without a tall enough ladder. They doors eventually failed and had to come off. It's a long story. Anyway, the quality of the material is superior. I have mine fastened down with the anchors and the anchors are cemented in the ground. Plus I have have the feet on the sides screwed into pressure treated boards that are anchored in the ground with rebar. It ain't going anywhere.

I usually put a tarp under the factory tarp as well. Then another that I get from tractor supply over the top. They sell truck tarps for flatbed loads. With metal D rings sewn in and those are really rugged tarps. Hope all is well. Take care my friend

I've had excellent results with the cheap green tarps I get at the Joblot store. Been using them for years over my firewood. Made by the "nese" of one origin or another but it is what it is ;-)

I think the design of the product you bought is better than the one we bought. We bought the kind that has the roof as a separate piece from the sides and the roof comes down a few inches over the sides. The problem for us was that the wind got under that roof and pulled it right off after just a few months. Who knows, that tarp might have ended up at the neighbor's or something! I also think the tarp itself and the bungee straps were kind of poor quality. So after having 2 sets of coverings fall apart, our framework has been sitting for several years with no cover, making our property look unsightly. Oh well, it's not on today's (or next month's) to-do list! Someday, that area is something we have to deal with. Here's a tip for cleaning the snow off the roof: Take a 2 litre pop bottle and cut part of the top off. Make the opening just big enough to go over the end of a stick (like a broom stick) and duck tape it on. Then use the upside down pop bottle as your pusher, rather than abusing a broom! I also think it might be a little kinder to the tarp.

Thanks for sharing... only one year in here decent snow, not like yours but it gets heavy winds and already showing wear at the "rafters" both sides middle so some Gorilla tape to reinforce it. I was thinking of removing the front and back and just leave it open to help with wind and I guess I should consider another tarp like others have suggested. The true testament is if someone would buy it again... and looks like swamp boss is going to....
