Good Price, Prompt Delivery, Quality Seems Good

Quality appears good after a couple of days of favorable weather. Intended for vehicle winter storage, and the size seems suitable. Assembly took three people with ladders about 2.5 hours, though two people could have managed. Instructions were not always clear but easy to figure out. A pair of pliers for tightening wing nuts would have been a helpful suggestion, since finger-tight may not hold up through winter weather in northern Minnesota. Overall, satisfied with the purchase.

Pros
  • + prompt delivery
  • + good price
  • + quality seems good
  • + size works for vehicle storage
  • + assembly manageable with two people
Cons
  • − instructions not always clear
  • − no suggestion to use pliers for wing nuts
  • − finger-tight wing nuts may not last in winter weather

Difficult Assembly and Leaks

Assembly requires two people and takes two days, with hours spent on ladders driving self-tapping screws through steel. The poles are not jointed to allow roof assembly at waist level, which would have been easier. The roof leaks badly, dripping on everything underneath, and sealing it is planned for the following year. Given the difficulty and leaking, a different product would have been chosen.

Cons
  • − two-person, two-day assembly
  • − hours on ladders with self-tapping screws
  • − poles not jointed for waist-level roof assembly
  • − roof leaks badly

Affordable carport with solid frame, thin roof

A budget-friendly alternative to a traditional carport, arriving flat-packed in four boxes with picture-only assembly instructions. The frame has a heavy protective coating, while the roof material is thinner than ideal. Assembly takes roughly seven hours for one person. Expected to last 8–10 years, even through snowy upstate New York winters, making it worthwhile compared to the annual cost of boat wrapping.

Pros
  • + affordable compared to traditional carports
  • + frame has a heavy protective coating
  • + can be assembled by one person in about 7 hours
  • + expected to last 8–10 years
Cons
  • − roof material could be thicker
  • − assembly instructions are pictures only

Affordable carport with reinforced frame, thin panels

This lower-priced carport offers a welded and gusseted frame that is thick enough for normal weather, plus concrete lag bolts and brackets for slab installation. The 29-gauge tin is very thin, and many panels arrived dinged or bent from inadequate packaging; a bag of nuts and a melted rubber sealer roll were missing or messy, though the seller reimbursed for replacements. The panels can be modified for side access and connected to form a longer structure. Overall, it is a reasonable value for a semi-rural setting, but not suited for a polished suburban look.

Pros
  • + welded and gusseted frame
  • + frame thick enough for normal weather
  • + includes concrete lag bolts and brackets
  • + seller reimbursed for missing or damaged parts
Cons
  • − very thin 29-gauge tin
  • − many panels dinged or bent from shipping
  • − packaging not robust
  • − missing bag of nuts in one kit
  • − melted rubber sealer roll on weatherstripping

Quality carport with excellent customer service

All parts were included, though hardware or directions may be at the bottom of a box, so unpacking everything is advised. The quality matches expectations for the price. Instructions are easy to follow, but assembly generally requires two people. Putting the roof together on the ground before lifting it into place is recommended. Silicone caulking was used in areas prone to leaks from rain and wind, though the provided tape is also excellent. The purchase was based on material weight and reviews. Overall, very satisfied, and customer service is quick to respond, polite, and helpful.

Pros
  • + All parts included
  • + Quality matches price expectations
  • + Easy-to-follow instructions
  • + Excellent provided tape
  • + Excellent customer service
Cons
  • − Requires two people for assembly
  • − Hardware or directions may be at the bottom of a box
