ok folks, i went with a shelterlogic round top, and its crap straight out of the box.
it says 12 foot wide on the box, and no, it 12'10 so it would not fit on my drive, and we had to move it into the rear yard. the instructions are wrong/bad
not enough bolts, i counted and sorted the 3 different sizes out, and everything was there, but they missed 10 bolts out from the instructions. there is a little tiny hole in 1 door, and you can see through stitching at another point.
holes were not drilled in the correct place. utter crap.
i will keep it, and hope it lasts a year, as it would be a nightmare to take back down, and take back to the store, so if anyone is in the market for a portable/temp. car shelter, give this one a miss, i wish i had.

Sorry to hear it.

But thanks for the feedback. You'll probably save someone time and $$ in the future.

Anytime you are thinking about buying anything do a google search first & read other owners opinions of the product.

In this case you would google "shelter logic round top + amazon.com".

I just did this search & some current owners think the 10' x 20' shelter logic is great & others say it's a cheaply made piece of junk
