“looks great. When I erected the frame I used 4 foot long T-Bar fence posts at the corners and the sides. Never an issues with wind. I also used 1" x 2" strapping on the roof. Now, no issues with snow. My last one was up for 20 years. The cover just got a bit tired.”

“This replaces the original cover. It seemed thinner than the first one. I was disappointed the metal ratchets were still as poorly designed as the original. Once you start tightening them you’re committed. You can’t release them and start over if you didn’t take up enough slack and start over while tightening the straps. They should have a release mechanism. Also while tightening the main top to the frame, the strapping ripped the top. This is due to a poor design, weak material, and improper angle. The zippers are of minimal heft at best. They need to be heavier especially when working in icy conditions. The loops to hold the door open are too short. They need a zip tie or something to hold in place as they will fall out in a windy day. To sum it up; it could be a much better product with these simple improvements.”

“I wish you made a heavier replacement cover in the 12x12 because these 7.5 oz. only last maybe a couple years, the original one lasted 8 or 10 years.”

“My previous cover lasted two years, and probably would have lasted much longer if I didn't live in such a windy region of the country. The wind causes the cover to rub against the frame at the corners. However, there is one area that could be improved by the manufacturer, and that is with the panel that covers the back end of the shelter. This back panel needs some kind of grommets or tie downs on the bottom edge. It flaps around even in moderate wind conditions, no matter the orientation. This stress eventually causes the corner seams to fail and I end up junking that piece well before any other.”
