Outvita Outdoor Portable Storage Shed Tent, 8x12 ft Waterproof Carport with Roll-Up Zipper Door and Durable Galvanized Steel Frame, Ideal for Motorcycle, GTV, Bike, Wood Tool Lawn Mower Storage

This shed tent is as advertised. After a bad experience with another seller of this item I was glad all parts were included. It is a button type assembly so the correct parts are vital. It is easy to assemble although the instructions consist of bad pictures and numbers. (minus a star for that) You really have to figure it out yourself but it is not difficult. Just make sure those #5 pieces are going in the right direction! I assembled it alone in about an hour as a 76 y/o female. No tools needed. I needed a step stool to get the cover over the frame is all. (5'2" is why} If you make a mistake, it's easy enough to correct. The cover is in 3 pieces which makes it easy to put on but I imagine will make it less waterproof. I am not too worried about wind where I have it but still anchored it down of course. Easy up.... I hope does not mean easy down! It's not a "shed" by any means. Good for casual storage to keep it out of direct weather. UPDATE: October 15, 2025. So the tent went through its first nor'easter, a mild one, 2.5" of rain over 3 days. It withstood the wind fine, as expected due to placement. I closed and zippered to door to see about the rain. There was no incursion on the sides but front and back water did dampen the ground so be aware of what is on the ground. I will try to tighten these areas up but it might be because it is on bare ground. The items inside did stay dry. Update: January 4, 2026 So another, stronger nor'easter came through and no issues. We've also had some fierce wind storms in December. It is in a protected space, a fence in back and another real shed on the side so it can handle wind. Don't know how it would do in an open space. We did have a few inches of snow and that will make the ceiling sag for sure. Get the snow off as soon as you can. Just gently push it off from the inside.

Installation was easy following instructions, was nice for the first 2 weeks but less than a month the zipper broke and the back half bent and broke during a rainstorm. I would never spend my money on this again, I do hope the company will work with me on this by sending a replacement. I’m beyond disappointed. I used it as a place to store extra hay for my horses and lost 70% of the hay bales I had stored. Had to give to my neighbor for his cows.

The tent was OK and for the price I didnt expect much more. The metal rods were thin and several bent easily and one zipper broke during a Chicago wind storm; however the fabric is strong so at least that didn't rip. Overall it was relatively easy to put together. My 11 year old son and I assembled it in about 1.5 hours.

Instructions are so small i had my son read them to me.

frame material is galvanized Holes for ratchet. Straps are too close to edge can’t get a good seal around front and back panels base on how tight I could get it I doubt that it will be waterproof

Horrible quality do not purchase

Holding up well so far!

It will work to cover some lawn furniture and the backyard snow blower
