“This last weekend we had a wind storm that decided to remove my shelter from my yard into my neighbors. My canopy got ripped up on my fence, but lucky the fame made it without a scratch! Yes, I had all 4 anchors secured which ripped out of the ground with it.
Story time.... So I’m standing in my kitchen, looking out my window to start my truck. All I see is my entire shelter fly 25ft above my garage into the power lines! Suspended in the air, I run out and watch in awe. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Just pined like a boxer In the corner, I was useless. Finally it comes crashing down, and flips again into the neighbors yard. Somehow it didn’t cause a power outage, or ruin any power lines thank god. Let alone get hung up in them. Needless to say I will be using cement for the supports next!!!!
After all this... somehow the frame was not bent; yes the lower support legs and braces moved. The frame was all intact. We moved this whole thing with just two people!!! We got our Workout for the week after that Hahahaha. Especially in the wind, Literally lifted us off the ground. After a change of underwear, and the shelter home I am more then happy to replace a cover. Im Lucky my neighbor was understand as well; I need to do some siding work this spring on her garage.
All in all hese frames are incredible tough! Tough enough that I’m still going to use it after this crazy venture it has taken. I’d like to add that the canopy was showing light through it when inside the canopy looking up at the light. It surpassed its life and was in need of replacement anyway.”
Your shelter went on quite an adventure! We are glad to see that the frame was able to make it back undamaged! We suggest anchoring every foot of your shelter for better wind resistance. If you are using your Garage-In-A-Box for a more permanent application then perhaps our heavier covers will better suit your needs. If you would like to discuss in more detail, we are available 7 days a week at 1-800-932-9344.
