I bought this garage for my tractor and some yard equipment in July of 2009. It was a bit of a challenge to assemble by myself, but I managed (I like puzzles). It worked well for 2009 and 2010. Only minor issues - zippers that broke and pipes on doors that slide out in the wind. However, this year, 2011, the entire top shredded right down the middle front to back! It has been thru a couple of snow storms and ice storms, but I have always been good about brooming the snow/ice off from the inside several times during the day/night. I suppose it has served it's purpose, but I am a little disappointed in how long it lasted. If I could have gotten one more year out of it, I would have been more satisfied. I'm going to put a tarp on it for now (too expensive to buy a replacement canopy). I'd like to put on a metal roof on it with some additional supports to make it more of a permanent structure.
