ShelterLogic 6' x 10' x 6' Shed-in-a-Box All Season Steel Metal Peak Roof Outdoor Storage Shed with Waterproof Cover and Heavy Duty Reusable Auger Anchors

I was little worried this then would be wobbly and weak at first. But, as I was building it, I noticed how its design stiffened frame very nicely. It water tight design is also very good. Its corners and end are over lapped by roof/side covering, so its very unlikely to leak. I'm bot worried about material hold up to sun, Nothing holds up to florida sun. I'm going to throw a tarp over it to make it last longer. Really very nice tent. I use it for my Harley.

This is the second one we have purchased so we were somewhat experienced in assembly which helped. There are many parts and assembly steps, which are only shown in diagram form without any text explanation. There are over 60 bolts in three bolt sizes involved which only vary by an eighth of an inch in length or so, so identification and sorting is necessary and they are not interchangeable. If only the manufacturer packaged these separately instead of all in one big mixed bag it would be nice. Furthermore, my unit seemed to have been mistreated in shipping and the packaging is so poor some of the tubing sections were out of round and I needed to straighten the roundness manually to allow them to fit together. Bottom line is, be very careful to assemble correctly with all bolts properly located to avoid sharp ends protruding outside to rub on the cover. Assembly and setup is much easier and maybe mandatory that two people are involved. Tightening the ratchets for the ends and cover is tricky. Do not let the tightening strap disappear into the seamed fabric tube. All that said however, the resulting shed is functional and waterproof if set up correctly. The only other caveat is that the cover material only lasts a couple of years at most and the company sells upgraded covers but they are expensive. We did buy a better cover for our first shed after the original failed, and it is supposed to last up to ten years. We will see.

Just got this put together and very happy so far. It went together very easy with only a 7/16” socket on my gun. Take a few minutes to layout and inventory your parts. A couple of the part number stamps were hard to read and slowed me up during assembly. Everything fits well and the tarps feel pretty good so they should last a few years at the least. Once pulled tight and legs anchored to the ground it’s pretty sturdy and will suit my needs for the rainy season/winter.

We have a small fenced in area next to the house where we keep a go kart and some of the kids' ride-on toys. I had a tarp attached to the fence to cover them, it was screwed to the fence on one side and anchored to some small concrete piers I poured on the other side. But the high winds in our area kept tearing the tarp off the anchors despite it being inside a fenced area. I decided to try one of these shelters, it's short enough to fit below our 7' fenceline (and thus not be seen by the neighbors/ HOA) but big enough to hold all the stuff. As others have mentioned the instructions are a bit vague, but between the instructions and a little bit of logic it can be figured out. Once the frame is assembled and the covering in place it's actually quite a sturdy little setup. The covering is pretty heavy material, it's stood up to our winds just fine. Time will tell what kind of UV resistance it has, but after a few months in the brutal Texas sun it still looks like new. It does get pretty warm inside in the summer, there's not really any venting unless you count the small grommet holes in the doors (they're there for strapping the doors up though, not for venting). The zippers seem very nice, it's no problem at all opening/ closing the doors. It's been through a few rains and seems to be water-tight. So far so good!11-19-2012 update- I've had the shelter up for a year now and it still looks like new! No problems with it at all and it's hold up quite well.08-22-2013 update- Well at the beginning of the summer the top cover on the shelter started ripping. Now a couple of months later the top cover has almost completely disintegrated, it's in shreds all over the fenced-in yard where I assembled the shelter. So it lasted about 1-1/2 years. The end panels are fine, but of course you can't order just the top cover, you have to buy the top cover and the end panels together as a kit. The replacement cover kit is 129.99 plus 16.87 shipping = 146.86 and cannot be ordered online, you have to call in (and wait and wait). Personally I think that is WAY expensive considering the whole shelter cost 208.99 with free shipping from Amazon. Very disappointed in the lifespan of the cover, I was expecting it to last at least 3 or 4 years. Also disappointed in the cost of the replacement and the thought of having to pay that cost every 18 months. I reduced my rating from 5 stars to 3 stars because of this.01-25-16 update- I am reducing my rating from 3 stars to 2 because of the short life span of the covers, the difficulty in installing them and the fact that you have to call them to order a replacement because it's not listed on their site. I am currently on my 3rd cover in less than 5 years. I have two patio umbrellas made out of Sunbrella fabric that have lasted years without issue. Denver airport's tensile fabric structure has been in place 20 years and still looks great. The point is that the technology exists to make durable fabric that lasts many, many years but ShelterLogic instead chooses to use the same cheap material to make these sheds that you would get buying a tarp from a home improvement store.07-26-19 I installed cover #4 in 2018. ShelterLogic should give these kits away for free because they would make a killing just selling replacement covers! This last one lasted less than a year before holes developed. I've had enough, I've spent more on the shelter and the replacement covers than I did on all of the stuff inside the shelter. The cover is in absolute tatters and that's it, I'm not buying another. It's going in the garbage which is what I should have done when the first cover fell apart. Lowering the review to one star, if only zero were an option.

The shelter once constructed was exactly as pictured. All the pieces were there and labeled with part numbers, which made construction much easier and fun for my 7 year old to help. We have only had it up a week but it’s been through a heavy wind storm and now snow, it’s holding up well. The fact that the cover has ratchets to hold it down and retighten when needed makes me feel it will stay in good shape for a long time.

Habe mir dieses Zelt für den Winter als Ersatz-Garage bestellt.Trotz einiger Baulicher Absonderheiten während dem Aufbau entstand ein durchaus solides Zelt was optisch wirklich etwas her macht.Ich bin gespannt wie es sich während StarkemWind /Stum schlägt da die befestigung eigentlich für eine Weide gedacht ist.Bin bislang sehr zufrieden, lediglich die Spedition brauchte mehrere Anläufe kompetent zu wirken.EDIT: Habe das Zelt jetzt schon 2 Winter lang stehen und ich habe noch nichts negatives zu berichten. Auch 2 maliger Ab und wieder Aufbau klappte ohne Probleme. Das Zelt hält sogar bei Windstärke 9-10 ohne Schäden zu nehmen. Die nicht ganz starre Konstruktion (welche ich am Anfang bemängelte) erwies sich bei Sturm von Vorteil.

positiv: Ein Sturm tut dem Zelt nichts. Wir hatten es beim ersten Aufbau versäumt, die Füße mit Heringen zu fixieren. Der Sturm fuhr unter die Plane und hob das Zelt aufs Nachbargrundstück, doch weder der wirklich stabile Stahlrahmen noch die Plane nahmen dabei Schaden. Das Zelt behielt sogar auf dem Rücken liegend seine Form.Der nächste Sturm fand dann nach einer Befestigung mit den mitgelieferten und anderen 30 cm-Heringen folgenlos statt.negativ: Die Plane ist innen mit einer Beschichjtung versehen, die nach zwei Jahren anfängt, in kleinen Flocken abzubröseln. Da wir unsere Fahrräder darunter abstellen, war der letzte Sommer kein Vergnügen. Nach jedem Betreten des Zelts musste man sich die Plastikflocken von der Kleidung bürsten.TIPP: Man kann auf der US-Homepage von ShelterLogic Planen nachbestellen. Dafür braucht man eine Nummer, die auf der Innenseite der Plane befestigt ist. Diese sollte man gleich beim Neukauf fotografieren, weil sie nach zwei Jahren arg verblasst ist.Der deutsche Händler hat auf eine Nachfrage wegen einer Ersatzplane nicht reagiert.

I've had the 70403 (6'x10') for two years. The cover has become brittle in the cold and I put my hand through it tapping the snow off the roof. The previous summer, little plastic lint was landing on my motorcycle. Be sure to brush those off. Some are burned into the exhaust chrome. I store wood and a BBQ in it now. It's weathered much better than the previous one I had, from a different company that completely disintegrated after a year. I'm going to call and replace the cover this year, and upgrade to one with a 10 year warranty. I like this little shelter. It's a shame it doesn't come with the better fabric up front.

I bought this to fit a specific place and it fits great! Was easy to assemble but you need 2 people! It's rain proof and looks as if it could withstand a strong wind? And it fits all the stuff I have including 2, 10 ft. kayaks so great for me!!
