Quictent 10x15 ft Heavy Duty Metal Carport for Vehicle Storage Snowproof & Windproof Steel Car Shelter

Great shed had it put together by myself in 3 days the only issue is I had to drill new holes for the roof metal but it was no big deal looks good exactly what I wanted

I put this up myself in about a couple of hours in may dirt, never drive-way. Pretty easy assembly. Seems to be well built and sturdy, with a heavy-duty tarp and stout poles with a few useful items thrown in the package I wasn't expecting - like a few extra bungees, some wire reenforcing tie-downs in case the wire slips from its compression clips. I didn't use them- didn't seem to need them yet, although maybe I'll need them after a storm. There were also bags to fill with sand to hold down 4 of the posts. The only thing rinky-dink was some thin rope and tent pegs to tie it down. Both the rope and tent pegs could have been more heavy-duty. I've yet to have the first winter storm, so that will be the test, but so far, it keeps the sun and tree sap off my new car.

Overall, I am happy with the product. The welding job on the joints would not have concerned me if they all had the gaps, however, some were welded all the around, while others were not. I contacted the seller, and they told me it won't have an effect on the stability or strength of the supports. The tarp fits snug, with no major gaps. I was able to set it up by myself in about 3 hours. Customer service has been very good and quick to respond with the two minor concerns I had. Overall I am pleased with it, the price I paid.

Our mom’s place is older and never had a garage built back in the day. It wasn’t really a big problem until the past few years with the weather not being what it used to be. The carport I wanted to get her due to shipping issues would have taken over a year and even with that no promises. So to get something up now I ended up going with this as it was in stock.The shipper dropped off the box. Thankfully I keep a small dolly in the truck so when I went over I used it to move it to the backyard area. Due to its size, dimensions of the box and the weight, you either need a dolly to move it or two people. Not that it is all that heavy just not something one person can get their arms around to move, literally.Inside the box everything was there, nothing missing, nothing damaged. The instructions for assembly if I had to grade them I’d give a ‘C’ to. Some parts aren’t the most clearly labelled to say the least but through trial and error you get the correct angle pieces in the right order. The bars and joints snap together using spring loaded tabs, no screws or bolts. No worries though as they hold up very well.I put hers together in three sections, the two sides and the arched roofed area. Then we lifted and assembled those sections similar to how a house framer would do. Furthermore I used a level to get the legs as straight as possible. All in all going this route just made the whole process easier. Example finishing the one side and I noticed I had used an angle joint that wasn’t the same as I’d used on the other. So I knew at that point there was an error and corrected that before the ‘fix’ became more of a pain to correct.Once the frame is snapped in place and standing up then I grabbed a short ladder and used the bungee connectors for the roof material starting on one end and working my way around. The tarp used for the roofing fit perfectly.One issue we have to deal with out here are very high seasonal winds. I was most concerned about that. Though this comes with stakes to help secure it at multiple stress points I wanted more. I ordered from here, several pieces of short rebar that were shaped like Shepard’s crooks. Pounded those in and tied the white straps to those. I went into town and picked up over a dozen very heavy duty tent stakes. I used those in each of the feet to get more holding power. Doing it this way even with the winds there was no need to use their 'sand bags.'My timing for the job was perfect as the very next day after it was all done there was a wind storm with gusts to 60 mph. I kept checking it remotely using her security cams but it only moved, flexed minimally with the big gusts. At first the movement was a little disconcerting but like the old children’s fable of the tree and reed in the wind, with the reed bending while the stiff tree breaking, this is how the carport was designed to react. It gives, flexes in the right spots just enough so it doesn’t turn into a stiff kite ready to fly off. There have been several high wind events since and it has held up with no issues up to 74 mph (source local weather station).This carport for the money I feel is a great option for basic protection. While it won’t stop golf ball sized hail it will keep torrents of marble sized off whatever is underneath. Then there is the protection from the sun and UV rays that degrade paint etc.The only negatives? one person can’t put this up unless they are a human octopus. Second while the bungees used to hold the tarp on work great now, over time bungees in the elements degrade, fall apart and rot to pieces until they just snap. Just something to keep in mind on down the road.Nonetheless I would recommend this to anyone needing a quick inexpensive means to protect a vehicle.

We purchased the Quictent tarp which was so easy to install and great quality. Unfortunately about seven months after receiving the unit we had a storm with over 40mph wind that bent a couple of poles. I contacted customer service to order replacements and received an email from Martina within a few hours. She expressed her sympathy for what we went through and asked us to send her a photo of the poles that we needed and they would replace them and charge us for shipping only. We received the new poles within a few days. Martina sent a follow up email to make sure the poles arrived well and were exactly what we needed and they were. The entire process was amazing and I will purchase all my tarps, carports, etc from Quictent from now on. Graceanna

I had three issues and they only took care of one. I received them damaged and they replaced the for tubes that were dented. I fastened my awning to a concrete pad with bolts. Their fasteners to connect the tube to the base was engineered improperly as the vibration from the wind loosened the bolts. The bases failed under a slightly windy day. Their response was there is no warranty for wind. The top has a one year warranty and the bungee cords are supposed to have a lifetime warranty. I just notified them that my top has holes in it at this one year mark and all of the bungee cords failed (hence the tarp damage). Their response is send us $100 and we'll send you more of our product. I've shopped and found tarps for one third of that price. Look elsewhere and pay less.

I looked for a long time to find something to keep a few motorcycles out of the sun and rain. This unit fit the bill better than anything else I cam across. It is well built and It went together well, just follow the directions with regards of orientation of all the framing or you get the pre-drilled holes on the wrong side.Here's where I would give them six stars...I wanted it to go down two rows of sheeting lower than it came to avoid the low inter sun (it's oriented east-west), I reached out to Quicktent (Maxlead) and they got me more panels for more than a fair price. Super impressive!

I love this carport. Sturdy yet attractive looking.I should have bought it years ago!
