12x20 ft Canopy Garage Heavy Duty Carport Car Boat Shelter Party Tent, Adjustable Peak Height from 9.5ft to 11ft, Gray

This 12' x 20' canopy has survived 3 windstorms, and does OK with up to 8" light snow, and that's with both 6" and 1' extensions on the legs. I do have it anchored to a nearby tree, and put my own 25 lb. weights on 4 corners, which have moved a couple feet in a strong gust, so I just poured in-ground concrete footings with tie down loops. The weight bags it comes with fit loosely so you'd need a way to tie or clamp them to be effective. The 8 plastic tarp hooks and elastic broke the first year, so first I duct taped them, then I got a grommet kit and put in 2 grommets with bungees on each pole held with an SS clamp. The 2" extension bolts rusted and stuck out, so I've replaced the 16 of them with SS 1-3/4" bolts with cap nuts. The corner brace brackets just fit loosely on the pipes, and the 4 lower ones filled with water and caused streaks of rust. So I drilled drain holes in those 4, and caulked them well into place with clear RV caulk, so they stay dry inside and resist sliding. I added a bamboo diagonal brace and now it's quite firm and sturdy. The ball and bungee system is quick to put up, but if you get much snow, it creates a dip right above the cross bar, so it's better to run the bungees over the bar, and also coat the tarp with 303 or silicone spray to help snow slide off. One end did collapse when we got 9" of heavy snow and I didn't pull it off in time. The end I tied nylon cord across did not collapse, so this year I'm adding ratchet straps all around. I was able to straighten or shorten the 10 poles that got bent. I added 2' plumbing pipes, glued in with JB weld, to get it high enough to back the camper under it on the truck. This is a very sturdy frame, great corner brackets, good quality tarp, just needs reinforcement if you get extreme weather.

I use this canopy as a cover for my pontoon boat. I installed it right next to my garage. The height adjusts from 9.5 to 11 feet, which was ideal for the extra height I needed. I was able to assemble and install it by myself. The assembly of the frame was very logical and well designed, and all the parts fit together well. I had one part of the assembly I didn't quite comprehend, but I contacted customer support and they replied right away and explained it to me. After 9 months, the canopy has held up very well and does not leak at all. Recently I backed into and bent one of my leg poles, and once again contacted them and they responded right away and sent a replacement for a small charge. I highly recommend this canopy for protection of your boats or vehicles, and their great customer service is a plus!

I ordered this for my girlfriend's car because she has a black interior. When it arrived I got 1 box. I contacted the seller and they said that the other box (since amazon doesnt let you give more than 1 tracking number for a single shipment even if its shipping multiple boxes) was still in transit and gave me the other tracking number. Well when that got here fedex had completely destroyed the box, plus damaged, and lost some of the posts. The seller promptly shipped out replacement pieces at no charge and forwarded on my pictures of the box to help them change their box design so this doesnt happen again. Once I started installing it however I ran into a couple of issues. The cover is basically duck tape without the threads inside of it so its not suuuper strong but I was expecting it to be a little thicker. The instructions get a little vague around step 4 when it tells you to put the cover on. It says to install the corner bungees first and then the rest. It shows a tiny area being magnified but the tarp has 2 holes in the corner areas so I wasnt sure which to use. I used the holes that are open to the outside at first and that was a HUGE pain to do. Dont use those. It reminds me of that far side cartoon with the scientists where they have detailed analysis of step 1 and then step 2 is "a miracle occurs" and step 3 is the final analysis and the second scientist goes "I think you can use a little more detail in step 2". It also doesnt tell you how to put the bungees on so I dont know if I did that tight enough or if they are going to blow off in the next breeze. I would much rather have had like 12" zipties to hold the thing on to be honest. The whole thing is shaky once its assembled because it has no cross bracing at the back end. 4 more poles and an X junction or 2 long poles that cross each other would have fixed a lot of that issue. I literally was holding the far corner and leaned on it and the whole thing moved. Lastly the sandbags velcro opening is kind of small to work with. The bag itself is divided down the center which makes it a 3-4" gap to fill what looks like a 12" wide bag. So use a garden trowel to fill it and use paver sand as it compacts better. The velcro on the straps of the sand bags dont allow you to get a good tight wrap around the poles either because the hook and loop dont go all the way down the strap so you have to put it on loose which just seems wrong. Over all though my baby's car is cooler under her ducktape fortress and shes happy so I'm happy.

This Carport Canopy wasn't hard to setup even by myself. I put the Canopy Cover on before installing the legs. You have to tie the frame to side supports for any steady wind that blows. I had the legs bolted to a concrete pad so they wouldn't move but with the heat baking the light rope that comes with the kit and the wind we had this week the ropes snaped and half of the legs bent at the top of the tubes and two of the tubes supporting the top bent where I tried to tie it with new rope in the middle of the storm. Now for the top itself It held up fine and is ready to go If I find something to use it on. Update Information.. If you have issues with this Carport you can expect great Product Support, they were quick at sending replacement tubes to get it back to working order. Having said that I will be using it in some other way then parking my nice car under it during bad weather.

This is a great canopy overall. It is larger and sturdier than many others in it's price category. The rope it comes with is very nice and perfect for tying knots! I am using a mix of tie downs, stakes and nearby structures to secure it. I look forward to keeping this one in good shape for many seasons! I did run into one small issue when setting it up. The manufacturer sent an incorrect angle joint so I contacted customer service and they immediately sent out the correct one at no cost to me. While I was waiting for the shipment 3 other pieces were accidently damaged when moving the frame (and while mowing the lawn). Despite me offering to pay, they immediately sent out all 3 replacement parts at no cost to me. Thanks Doria! You earned the 5 stars imo.

I've had this for almost 6 months and it's held up well. I use it to park my boat under, so I only opted for the canopy. I have a full cover for my boat for the off season but I will still be using the canopy to keep the majority of the weather off of it. I live on Cape Cod and it's like living in a wind tunnel around here. Using only the weights and anchors supplied, the cover has withstood quite a few good storms and I've been very impressed. I assembled it by myself with only mild exertion. I'm 66 and have had multiple back fusions so if I can do it, most anyone should have no issues. My only concern is the thickness of the poles. I wish they were a bit beefier. I may add some extra bracing but who knows. It's done great so far...The price was right... I'll have to see how it lasts!

The tarp cover on this carport only lasted two years before the top/middle started to develop tears at the peak. (The thickness of it is paper thin to begin with) A couple of 20mph wind gusts from a recent storm made quick work of tearing it apart completely. Cheap junk, but I still figured it would last longer than this. Getting a replacement cover wasn't worth the cost, and every one of them had bad reviews. I'm completely dismantling this piece of junk and replacing it with an all metal carport. Save your money and get something better that doesn't suck like this one does.

I had a similar tent to this one (but less sturdy) that lasted 4 years in a 4 season climate. As long as you clear the snow and strap it down WELL, it will last a long time. With that being said, after 1-2 years the tarp will condensate and lose much of its waterproofing. Also, the main image for this is misleading as it shows the legs of the frame as being thicker than the rest. All the framing pieces are the same size and they are rather flimsy. But then again, what do you expect for $350?? I highly recommend this product, just install it correctly and maintain it!
