Update:Last night, 04-MAR-2025, the winds reached speeds as high as 70mph.I didn't get pictures at 2am when I got woke up, but the tarp material held together like a champ. However, the poles did not. The side taking the brunt of wind forces bent and the garage collapsed. I had the pills feet bolted down to 4x4x10 pieces of lumber and cement blocks lining the edges holding the excess material down. The winds came, and the structure stood strong as long as it could. I had to cut the material loose to keep the wind from dragging the unit over my bike any further and into my neighbors house.I strongly recommend this garage. It's super tough.Update:Moved from the woods to an RV park. It's been exposed to high winds, snow, and ice, and had held up wonderfully!Anxious to see how it holds up to the spring storms.Bought it in August 2024, it is now February 2025, and does it's job well.See pictures below.I put it together by myself. Let's just get that out of the way now. Because of how I'm using it, it took me about two hours to fully complete construction.It's very well designed, came with everything you need to put it together along with a couple of extra pieces, as far as bolts, nuts, and bungee loops. The tarp material is pretty good, and is plenty thick enough to provide protection against the elements.Remember, though, you're buying a "temporary" shelter. Do not expect it to come with enough support to be a permanent building. It's not designed for that. However, in my case, it's going to be a very long term part of my little paradise.The poles are pretty precise and I had zero issues with assembly. The instructions are sufficient, but don't expect any long detailed information. But they are sufficient.If you are going to use this as a long term situation, like I am, I highly recommend ditching the bungee loops and opting for zip-ties instead, as in my pictures. Also, for long term use or in a windy environment, use some 3/8-1/2 inch rebar stakes. The stakes that are included leave much to be desired for long term use. You'll have have to drill out the stake holes in the feet, though.There are two vent windows at the top of each end(also pictured) that should allow for some air movement if you ever need to work inside of it in warm conditions.For my use, I would've liked to see a heavier gauged material, but we'll see how long it holds up.The wall and ceiling portion are plenty long enough at the bottom to spread some rock, or other material, to add for hold down purposes(also pictured).I've only had it up a couple of days so this is just an initial review, I'll try to update this as time goes by, if I can remember to do so. ?Overall, I believe this is a good product and seems worth the money.
