Nice concept, poor quality,
I ordered this garage as a winter shelter after seeing a smaller unit display at a big box home improvement store. When the box arrived we laid out all the parts as directed and started constructing the roof frame. We then discovered that one of the roof connector tubes was the wrong part, while it was similar looking the bend angle and mount points were incorrect. I called and left a vm with the company on Sunday afternoon and asked that the appropriate part be sent, I included my phone number and address but did not receive a call back the next day.
I then called Shelter Logic again and was greeted by a customer agent that interrupted me as soon as I informed her that I’d left a vm and asked ‘Is someone helping you already?’- with a fair amount of attitude, she sounded annoyed when I said no and then told me I had to send her proof of purchase before they would ship the part out (for a low cost part they goofed on!!) I sent the information on Tuesday and did not hear back. I called back Thursday and got a different woman, I provided her the request history and requested a tracking # for the part – she put me on hold for 4-5 minutes and then came back with the shipping #. It was shipped via ground with a 5-14 day timeframe.
When the part finally arrived we completed the construction, the tarp material is glued together with varying widths and the front panel would not go over the connector boltnut combo since the gap in the middle was too narrow. I had to remove the boltnut combo and even then it barely slid past. Only at this point did I discover that the 15″ anchor bolts are for temporary use only and you need to purchase longer ones through Shelter Logic for longer term usage – this was not listed at the time of purchase.
Also the instructions arShelterLogic Instant Garage Series 1015 AutoShelter, Tan, 10 x 15-Feete somewhat vague and there are pole sleeves in the tarp material for the back panel but no poles and the pole sleeves in the front panel would securely hold the front edges to the frame but the instructions don’t tell you to connect these.
Overall the product concept is good, however the lower quality construction and abrasive customer service attitudes and procedures would lead me to look elsewhere for a product of this nature.

|Great product.Im glad i have it. Will fit to your Jeep. OIIIIIO,
I own this portable garage (10″ x 15″) from Shelter Logic more than 5 month.I live in Putnam County NY.After i build it up it was tested with all weather conditions,from hurricane Irene to our October heavy snow storm.If place where you want build it up have little angle,still is okay.Just if you have there some bumps or holes,make it flat.I build it half on grass and half on parking blacktop.For secure on black top take your instructions plane and visit local hardware store and ask there.They will help you.I was used longer drill and few Expansion Anchors with nuts and washers.First of all.FEW FREE TIPS; A)Don’t be silly and when you will build it up CHECK TO INSTRUCTIONS,FOLLOW NUMBERS AND YOU WILL SAVE FEW HOURS OF MY WORK.Because i was stupid j.. a…. and “Smart” people never read instructions.BUT IN THIS CASE I WAS WRONG.All tubing have a numbers and are big help.So that why i finish it little later,but I DID IT JUST MY SELF,without someone help.Just every time finish one side,don’t jump here and there and think. B)If you have a plane build it under tree,like i did,be sure you,(or ask someone),better trim all large branches few feet top on your shed.If they fold down because of heavy snow or big wind they will hit and can damage your cover or all shelter. C) Secure your garage with Shelter Logic 30″ Auger Anchors model # 10075.0,($20 at Home Depot) They are longer and will hold it down much better and stronger. D) SNOW REMOVAL!!Still construction is just from light tubes.(Don’t forget.How much you paid.) DON’T LET IT COVER WITH HUNDRED POUND OF SNOW!It is much stronger than looks and can keep few pounds of snow ,(i do it when have have 3-4″),but it’s individual,depend if is heavy or just nice,light snow.Better early than late.(Check all pictures) If you will follow my tips,you will also enjoy this cheep but great portable garage.If you are little tired from regular cover,(still up and down),and also from snow removal it’s for you.It’s good size for my 2010 JEEP Wrangler JK and now is my toy still clean and shiny.I doesn’t work for Shelter Logic.I’m just happy client and doesn’t like that all bad reviews.This is my first review and i hope you will understand it and will little help to you.I will try also download few pictures.So… YOU CAN DO IT! GOOD LUCK.
>>>UPDATE<<< AFTER 16 MONTH I STILL LOVE IT!!!!! If you will LOOK AT MY FEW PHOTOS you will know why.
TWO BEST STEPS; 1)>>> READ AND FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS and YOU CAN SAVE FEW HOURS <<<, 2)>>> Better REMOVE SNOW <<< As you can see,my JEEP can fit there ok.Don’t buy it for 2005 Toyota Corolla.It’s longer than 2door Jeep JK! AFTER that VERY BAD HEAVY SNOW STORM last year AND AFTER HURRICANE SANDY is my SHELTER LOGIC portable garage still in good shape.As you can also see on my photos,this Spring a installed for better ventilation ShelterVent Part #10031. TIP;You can put on door steel but light weight electric tube.Just roll up with hands and doors will keep a shape.If any questions regard this product,you can email me to smileinusa@yahoo.com. Good luck guys.

|ShelterLogic AutoShelter,
The product is as advertised in size and shape
The Color however is far from tan it is MUSTARD YELLOW
It can be installed in a few hours and bolts together making it more secure than most
the canvas cover appears to be very thin I have only had this for a little over 1 month time will tell how it holds up to the weather.
