Shelter Logic 10X20

Shelter Logic Tent

     I bought one of these beauties at my local K-Mart on sale for $249. Best price I could find for this item. It has five support legs, all powder coated, and a decent mil tarp covering. I was told it is easy to set up and will take about 2 hrs. Right! two days later, it is still not complete. The high winds had a lot to do with the delay. at one point I though the wind was going to lift me right off the ground.
    Suggestions: Tie or stake the poles down long before attempting to tarp. Also, try and put the ends together on the ground before assembling the pole structure. I mean, put the tarp vinyl on the ends before standing it up.The poles have to go thru the tarps, and they don't mention this till you have the entire steel structure assembled, making a "Disassemble" extra step. You could also put the poles thru the base of  one side before assembly. But only on one side. These steps will save a lot of future dis-assembly.
    All in all, I think Shelter Logic makes a good quality tent thing for storage, the best part, being a "Temporary" structure, most municipalities do not require a permit or fee, (for a temp structure.) You may have to move it every few years or so, but it's light.
   Just don't do it on a windy day.
