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."

I got this for temporary storage of my trike. Large enough to fit it through the openings on the end. Setup was very easy. No tools needed. Really didn’t need much of the instructions. However, they were easy to understand. People that said it was difficult probably could not put a nut onto a bolt without instructions. I installed completely by myself in less than 2 hours. Seems to be waterproof. So far, it’s done well. Held up well even through a pretty major storm. Looks to be a good summer storage for my needs. Seems to be a good value for the money.

Based on what I experienced when setting up the storage unit, I would say that the product meets expectations and is a great fit for the area where located. Having level ground covered with concrete pavers was helpful and recommended. Setting up the metal frame was rather easy while remaining steps were somewhat difficult due to insufficient instructions. The instruction manual lacked details and provided erroneous directions. Fortunately, I was able to determine the needed work arounds and identify more suitable techniques to complete the setup. Plan on spending a few hours and get someone to help is highly recommended.One of the reasons for purchasing this product was its wind resistance rating. So far so good. Overall, I like this product and optimistic that it will perform better than the previous pop up tent that this new storage unit replaced.

I bought this 10'x20' carport for my Ford Ranger. We were sick of shoveling it out of the snow. We live in the green mts. It fits in it perfectly. We were considering a metal carport and am very glad we went with fabric instead. It was very easy for me to set up. It took about 4 hours with 20 minutes of help from my wife. It is very sturdy. Last night we had high winds that blew my big bbq around the deck and knocked over some wood piles but the carport was fine. I'm very happy with this purchase. There are a couple things you should know. I sharpened the tent posts they provided so it would be easier to pound them into the gravel of my driveway. When pounding them in, make sure the doors are zipped shut or you may have to reposition the stakes. I had to bungee the center of the door up a few inches so the flex antenna on my truck would clear. I highly recommend this carport/storage shed.

Very good product. Installed it last summer and so far it has made it through the winter including snow on the roof! Very sturdy. Do need two people to install. But very nice tent/shed!

Put this up in a few hours. Only need help from my wife for one step. Has stood up to wind and lots of snow already. Good value.

First - I found that if the cover and doors are left in the sun for awhile it helps a lot when assembling. Otherwise the material is pretty stiff. There's about 6" of excess material past the base of the tent, so sand bags or sand tubes can be placed on this for extra support on windy days. I'm using several sand tubes as they are a perfect fit. Everything snaps together - just pay attention to the lettering. Some of the tubes are easy to mix up. I assembled this by myself in under an hour. Four standard pallets work well if you need an elevated bottom to keep your stuff off the ground.
