ADVANCE OUTDOOR 10X15 ft Garage Shelter Steel Metal Peak Roof Portable Storage Shed Carport for Motorcycle Boat, or Garden Tools with 2 Roll up Doors & Vents, Gray

My biggest concern with a shelter like this was that the tarp would be the same cheap kind of tarp that you get at Walmart. I can tell you the tarp for this shelter is made of very thick material, rip-stop PVC, but not at all like the ones sold in camping supplies. I would even call this a 'PVC Canvas'; it is so nice. The shelter was delivered in two boxes, one with all the poles, and one with the canvas and connectors. We did the assembly with two people, but one person could potentially do this alone. It took my wife and me about two hours in total. The directions were very nicely written in American English, not in 'Chinglish.' Diagrams were plentiful and made assembly a snap. When we separated all the parts, a few of the poles had small dings from shipping, but it was not enough to compromise the structure, so we went ahead and assembled it. I may call them to get some replacements, but I'm not overly concerned. The rods and connectors were all neatly packed and, at first blush, look nice and solid. Also, every piece literally snaps into another, which makes assembly very simple. You build the roof first, which is nice because it gives you an idea of the area it will take up, and it can be easily repositioned for optimal placement. Next, you assemble one wall, not two. It is important to only do one wall and then cover it with the doors and roof/wall tarp before erecting the second wall; otherwise, you will need to be up on ladders with two people. Every pole has a sturdy foot at the bottom that stakes to the ground. All of the joints feel nice and thick and super sturdy. Time will tell. When putting on the canvas, you put the doors on first, which are bungeed to the frame, but the roof/wall canvas is where this shelter really stands out. Many other shelters out there have separate roofs and walls which tie to the frame with grommets. The issue I've seen with them is that the grommets tear. Advance Outdoor instead engineers this shelter using a unique belt and pole system with no grommets. The roof and walls are one large piece of canvas. The canvas has a belt on the front and back door that tie down on the four corners using a ratchet strap. It works like a hoodie on a winter coat when you tighten it around your face. Then there are wall poles that slide through tubes built into the tarp near the base of the walls, and horizontal poles clamping those to the vertical wall poles. The ratchet straps and the horizontal wall poles are how the roof/wall canvas is held onto the structure, so there are no grommets to tear or rip. Once the canvas and doors are on the structure, you raise the second wall. At this point, there is some tweaking to get the canvas centered, and it helps to have two people and a ladder at this point. The horizontal poles on the wall should end up about 6 inches off the ground. Another nice feature of this shelter is that you get 12 very solid metal stakes that are about a foot long to give the structure a nice deep anchor into the ground. Overall first impressions: 1. Nicely packed and all parts present. 2. Easy for two people to assemble with only a rubber mallet needed to hammer stakes into the ground. 3. PVC Canvas is an impressive thickness and has a quality feel with a big 'Advance Outdoor' logo. 4. Poles and especially joints seem to be very good quality, with some minor shipping dings on 3 poles. 5. Smart 'no grommet' design of the main roof/wall canvas to avoid the common issue with other shelters. 6. Assembled in only about two hours. 7. Overall, a great experience."

The directions are good for assembly. no tools needed. The only issues are that the vents leak in the rain. So if anything is close things are going to get wet. The other issue is that the tarp cover is not physically attached to the frame. It is held on to the frame with a drawstring type method like a garbage bag. Ratchet straps are used to get the drawstring tight except the drawstring is too long and the tarp is too big so it can never be tightened fully. It survived several rain storms and did pretty well. I assembled it by myself. It was only missing one spring clip

I bought this 8x8 shelter five months ago in March 2025. The current price is about a third less, but that could change. I did not use the fabric covering but instead just use the frame as a canopy frame with a tarp for a temporary patio in my backyard. For this it works well. The tubes are large and strong and are a big improvement over the popup canopy I was using for several years, whose legs finally broke in a 50+ mph wind. The cover seems to be the weak point in this anyway. They don't sell just the frame. I covered the frame with a 9x12 tarp and it works great. When the tarp deteriorates, it's a cheap and easy replacement. I laid rubber mats from a local DIY store on the ground over landscaping fabric to keep the mud and weeds at bay. The frame is a bit loose when you shake it because of the pins used to connect the tubes, but it was straightforward to put up and has been holding up well in storms and winds up to maybe 45 mph. The little bungee cords used to hold the cover to the frame are deteriorating in the sun, so I've been replacing them with cord to tie the tarp on. They should last better when used as designed in the interior of the shed, out of the elements. It did not come with enough stakes to fit all the holes in the feet, so I had to supplement them with steel nail-type tent stakes.

I purchased this in April of 2023 to use as a temporary shelter for equipment while our barn was being built. Our property sat in the middle of the Manistee National Forest in northern Michigan. I put the thing up myself with the help of my wife and kids. Pretty straight forward and the instructions and quality was what I expected for the price point. I have to be honest though, I did NOT expect this thing to last long in that environment. Well….this thing sat in the National Forest for 2 winters and summers and then I disassembled it and rebuilt it in my back yard at home. It has survived another winter and I’m telling you the last 3 winters in Michigan have been no joke! I went out this winter after about 2 feet of snow had accumulated and knocked it off from the inside with a push broom and that’s it! I couldn’t even reach the property the two previous winters to do that and it still stood perfectly intact! It says it’s good for 5 years and I’m at 3, but considering the extreme environment this one was left in I thing 5 should be expected in a less harsh environment. Point is, this thing is a great product for the price! And I NEVER leave reviews but this tent has amazed me! Problem is now I need to replace the fabric and I am having a hard time just finding a replacement fabric in lieu of purchasing the whole thing again. Hopefully Advance is watching and reaches out.

Just put it up. Easy with good directions. Took two men and two teen boys just under two hours. Need extra hands to manage the tarp. Looks great. Seems sturdy. Would definitely recommend. Our daughter is getting one for her house to house their son’s ATV, E bike and motorcycle. Plenty of room to work on them under cover if needed.

We use this as a storage garage for a 12 foot popup camper, and the 10x15 option is the perfect size for us. It is made of very thick, sturdy PVC fabric. The zippers are robust and have been easy to zip and unzip. Assembly was straightforward but we needed a third person to help with putting up the fabric once the frame was complete (we are a 70+ year old couple). We especially like the horizontal stabilizers near the ground. We get pretty stiff wind at times, and so far this has been rock solid. It's not flimsy at all. We put sandbags along the bottom flaps to help with stability.

Product was nice and complete the instructions were for a 7x12 not related to the 10x20 and no why to download or get instructions. This is the only reason for the 3 star review if the install with proper instructions it would have been 5

This car port is exactly what I needed for my Polaris Slingshot. The material is very thick (like a tarp) and poles are well made. It has withstood major rain and high winds. It took two of us to put it together under two hours. What I didn’t realize when putting together the bottom poles is that there are sleeves on the tarp that they go in. (I had to unscrew and retighten the poles to put them inside) These sleeves secured the bottom well. It really is easy to put together. We obviously didn’t read the directions, hence why we missed that part lol We made slight modifications. I placed bricks on the bottom of the tarp to not allow unwanted animals inside (the tarp lays well on the ground for that reason). We also secured it with two extra heavy duty anchors because I live in high winds. Lastly, I use a light pole to help roll up the tarp for the door opening. (It’s easy with two ppl, but rolling the pole in the tarp makes it super easy alone. Other than those minor things, this car port has enabled me to get the toy that I’ve wanted for years but didn’t have a garage! Highly recommend.
