The tent poles outside are however inspire little confidence, the whole tent is plenty of shaky, even though I have it anchored at all four "feet" with 40 cm long spiral tent pegs in the ground and attached it to the back with numerous straps on an iron railing ( so I had the Eufab tent also attached).
But I wonder what happens when snow loads on the roof.
A back seam below the bottom was the same open - I glued it. The zipper I have treated with WD-40, he hooked probably because of the tension by the tensioning straps. But now he is doing very well.
The first rains has the tent but survived surprising. When Eufab tent penetrated the seams always a water that collected at the bottom. That is until now not happen in this tent, though I seemed threadbare seams. So far, in the tent everything is dry and the bike is fine.
So I hope and pray that it is not so extreme snow this winter and the tent wenigenst a year holds. Then it would have paid off in the really reasonable price in my opinion.
Now I must grudge on (November 30, 2013) that after heavy rain but water has passed through the corner seams and flowed onto the floor. I have drilled (from experience with the previous tent) small holes in the bottom so that the water can drain.
It seems to me to be a problem that such bicycle garages to serve as bicycle tents to camp at the same time cycling. I read the reviews here on the bike tents, the main use is, however, the duration of storage of the bike - so from me. Who goes camping with it (if bikers want to take the daily structure ever to be), you need a lightweight tent that during transport has no footprint. So a tent is likely to be a year and more than three-four weeks use - and certainly not in snow and ice. The material is so thin and light, and is not exposed to permanent loads.
As a bicycle garage, the space requirement at the rolled-up tent little but play a role, as the weight, for durability. There is for this purpose quite appropriate films; the company Gekaho example offers films on which they are ten-year guarantee. Even the Jeha Shipping has films that can withstand all loads.
It would be great if once made such a bike garage tent made of such materials, combined with stable poles and sold with a three year warranty maybe would. For this, I would definitely also accept a correspondingly higher price.
As a tenant in an apartment building, I can not provide solid buildings on the property; am glad that no one upset about the tent.
