Used the Massey to build the Shelter Logic shed. Sure makes things easier.

At times better than second pair of hands.:thumbsup:

I have a Shelter Logic round top building too. After building it, I noticed a thin stripe going lengthwise on the top that was lighter than the rest. One year later, that is right where the top ripped the full length rendering it useless. I then covered the building with 2ft wide metal roofing. It works very good and greatly stiffens up the structure.

I didn't have the 'second pair of hands' to assemble a Shelter Logic 'carport in a box'. so IMG_0636.JPG

I didn't want it near the barn, so IMG_0640.JPG

But I haven't figured out how to use a tractor to put the cover on it, so IMG_0643.JPG

Yeah, having a tractor for each job can be downright handy, but you seem to always have more toys that you can park under a roof. :(

I had a TSC garage in a box. On the 3rd year there was a 20ft long rip right at the top. Dont expect them to last for ever.
Also if you get snow it needs to be removed from the top and around the sides. There a real pain in the butt.

Not looking for long term storage with this. Wanted the tractor closer to the house, quonset where I had it last winter is too far to trudge through the snow, shovel out the sliding doors and struggle to open the blasted things. If it turns to rags in a few years, could get a new cover or maybe reinforce the frame and tin it.

My father in law had one but it lasted less than a year before it tore. Southwest Texas near Del Rio.

The wife and I recently put up one of the HF 10x17 portable garages for me to keep my old Mustang in. Took the two of us 4+ hours to erect. The tubing was about 1-1/4" on all the tubes. They supplied a couple of ropes and instructed to use them to pull the top on with. Worked like a charm!

It closes up good everywhere but the rear where there is a gap at the ground. I want to figure a way to close that up because the tent has been filling up with bugs which then die from the heat and end up all over the car. The main goal was to get it out of the sunlight but I was hoping to keep it cleaner.

In my experience a HF tarp shed needs additional ground anchors so it won't blow around and distort the frame in the first heavy wind. I brought ropes down to two cinder blocks next to each pole - after a bad experience. HF at that time had replacement 'rafters' at a very reasonable price. I think more recently they don't stock parts for anything.

I don't know, but we used to call something like that a tent.

A friend has had many. In the Canadian winter, none ever survived.
