Economical easy bike protection
This product was exactly what I was looking for! It was easy to set up, used minimal space and keeps my bike completely dry and out of the sun. I pull into the space, unhook a single hook, and drop it into place.I purchased my first tent last summer (2019). The only down side? I didn't realize the tent did not arrive with sun protection. Very quickly it faded dramatically with the tent a different colour than the protective flap that covers it when not in use. This was a disappointment. The product functioned so well, I purchased a second one that I will apply the sun protection to when I install it. Absolutely love this product.

It's okay, but needs stronger hardware random large holes tore in it after 10 months.
I am using this in a windy area of west Texas. It worked okay until about 9 months later when large holes appeared in it. The fabric does not stand up well to elements. I did spray it with a whole can of UV fabric protectant every few months. It doesn't keep much dust out, but does help protect from sun and hail. I can't use a regular cover because of the increased chance of the bike blowing over. I have it mounted to a brick exterior wall. The hardware it comes with is not sufficient, it seems that the screws and anchors are not big enough to mount in to masonry, they pulled out of the wall in moderate wind. I will probably purchase bigger hardware and reinstall. There should also be a better way to secure the bottom ends to ground, I currently have it held in with cinder blocks, but when they move around from wind, some of the keys fall out of the eyelets. Since to ground is a driveway, I use heavy garden blocks to hold it down, the kind with the lip on the edge work better than cinder blocks. I wish the bottom edge was canvas or reinforced in some way, there's holes from wear that started after a few days. The keys and eyelets definitely should both be larger. Make sure to wear gloves when assembling, I didn't and got lots of fiberglass slivers from the polls.

Stores kids strollers and cars.
Great for hiding strollers and kids toys! I only took one star off because I think it’s a little too expensive.

Great idea, execution is a little lacking
I got this to cover my little Hyosung gv250, a small cruiser motorcycle.My first impression was that it was basically half a dome tent, fiberglass poles and all. I thought tension would hold it all together better, but even mounted to the side of my shed it's almost impossible to fold up/down without the corners popping out. It's also both larger and smaller than expected. It feels pretty big, but fails to cover my dinky Korean motorcycle without lots of jostling, pulling, and so forth, after waiting a good 30 minutes for the exhaust to cool so I don't melt it.One important detail you shouldn't overlook: the material is just tent nylon. Vehicle exhaust pipes will almost certainly melt it for a good while after the engine is off. I'm looking at this as more of a storage cover than as a daily cover.

This might be one of our favorite Amazon purchases yet.
What a great idea and totally functional solution to bikes being stored on the side of the house (no garage). They're no longer exposed to the sun, high temps, rain and hail that come with our crazy weather. This was super easy to install and is of good quality. Highly recommend.

No returns!!!
I would give this 5 stars for the Quality, great sturdy little shelter .. but it didn’t work out for where I needed it for my bike and I Wanted to return it but they won’t respond. Filed a claim and still haven’t heard anything yet. I just feel like if you’re going to sell something on the Internet you should be willing to return it for no matter what reason!! Their Customer service sucks!! I’ve never used it

Keeps our bikes dry!
We needed to store our bicycles and protect them from the weather. We ordered this and are very satisfied. Easy assembly. They recommend two people, and that's what we had! This was a quick install! We have shelter for our three bikes. We think we could very easily fit four.

this was great for the first year. but after the second year it just shreaded to pieces. not to mention the tent poles kept coming out.
