Good storage for the price,

"I have used one of these buildings for 6 years. This past winter the cover started to rip and this spring a strong storm ripped it open. For the price I feel I got my money's worth from it. Survived at least 4 snowstorms of more than 12" of snow, and two winters where we got over 80" total. Only bad thing I can say is that a replacement cover is pretty expensive. Almost as much as a new building, but I am replacing the cover and expect to get another 6 years out of it."

"My old one, which was square got completely squashed under
the weight of last years New England snow and I purchased this
one as a replacement.
Pretty easy to put up...I did it myself...a few minor glitches...the instructions have you building it...then having to take it apart again for additonal construction....build some more...take apart for another step...I wish the instructions would be more comprehensive...the illustrations are not all that easy to follow, but it can be done...I believe it took me a half day by myself.
Another pain is the doors have no way to "stay up". I think there is a "kit" for another 50 bucks that will keep the door zipped up and stay there. In other words, there is no "straps" on the top to wrap around the rolled up door. I actually took an old tent pole and slid it through the slot on the bottom of the door and I lay it on top of the shelter when I need the door to stay oopen. Pain, but it can be done.
I'll see if this one handles another New England winter...fingers crossed!!"
