How well do shelter logic hold up in heavy snow areas?

If you want to play around with carport pricing adjusting the width, height, length, sheet metal orientation, etc.. try Metal Carports, Garage & Carport Kits - Carport.com Good way to see exactly what options cost.

This is the one that I use....20 X 12 X 10.....it has a steeper pitch roof...snow does not accumulate but simply slides off....I also have the round top 24 X 12 X 10 however it does have a tendency to accumulate snow on top under certain conditions such as wet snow etc....

Buddy of mine has this one also, I like it, they weren't available when I purchased mine or I would have went with this one, I like the Inside height, he also made a front door for his to eliminate that pain in the neck zippered front.

Skyhook: yes that zippered front is certainly a pain...best I could do to at least improve on it was to replace the crappy plastic inside "pulleys" with small 3/4" steel double pulleys....improves the lifting action a great deal and much less cursing involved....Twister

I'm going to put sliding barn doors across the front of mine.

Next time I'm over at his place, I'll take a pic of the doors he made, pretty simple to make, two sheets of plywood and some 4x4's for the frame, the doors are in 2 foot sections.

I'll say this about the ShelterLogic company, any concern that I've had about anchors, zippers, condensation etc., they took care of it right away.
The one "heavy 1 inch rain......followed by 1/2 inch sleet......then 4 inches of snow" did no damage to the unit. And it has sustained winds up to 50 mph so far without an issue. I installed it last summer.........a 12 x 20 x 8 SP series with the most heavy cover.

However, where I live in Kansas, is not considered a "heavy snow area" per the OP's thread title.

Skyhook: pics of your buddy's doors would be great...might give us some ideas for our own...twister

Doors look real good. Did you consider installing a lover vent in the doors to cut down on the moisture.

All I have is my frame up I'm waiting for better weather to install the cover, but I may start making some plywood doors now that I've seen your.
