Nice design
As far as the product it is a nice design. I haven't had a good rain storm yet to judge the "waterproof" claim but I'll update my review after that happens. It is a great concept I will see how the materials stand up to "New England" weather. For right now it is great to put the car away after a good "detailing session" and know that when I take it out again the car will be as clean as when I put it away.Customer service is second to none! I lost a part that I know I had when I unpacked everything. I believe I accidentaly threw it out with the empty boxes. Edward from customer service was very nice and has shipped out a replacement part free of charge!I did add some pipe insulation to the bottom of the carport to protect it from the driveway and a few pieces inside so when I open the car door it won't hit one of the pipes. I don't have a garage so its nice to have a place to protect my 2015 Miata!Update after several rainstorms. I found that the original top I have is not 100% waterproof but is so close to being 100% waterproof that I would still recommend it to someone who needed a storage area for their car. I will explain:After a few rainstorms some water, a tiny amount, did get though the top. It was such a small amount that I’d compare it to a four or five “eyedropper” fills of rainwater if you can imagine just how little an eyedropper would hold. I was still disappointed because I was hoping for a 100% waterproof top.I talked to Edward at customer service, and he was extremely helpful. I wish every company I had to deal with was as good as he was. He said that sometimes under certain conditions the sewn seams can be stretched and that can cause a small amount of water to get through. He said that they take this very seriously and that they would make things right and they did. Edward sent me a new top!I decided that since the original top was already so close to being 100% waterproof that I would work with it and see if I could get it 100% waterproof on my own. So, I added some rubberized “roof tape” that is self-sticking and white in color and applied that to the seams where the Velcro is sewn in. The next rainstorm, which wasn’t that heavy came through and the next day there was ZERO water on my car. I will note now that I keep a conventional car cover on the car when it is inside the carport for an extra layer of protection so throughout all my “testing” my car has never actually been touched by water.A week later the next rainstorm came through our area, it was very heavy, within less than an hour we had almost an inch of rain. It was coming down like a tropical storm. I checked the inside of the carport and this time a tiny, I’m talking tiny amount of rain came through, less than the first time. So my roof tape helped a little bit.Next, I applied a waterproofing liquid to the outside of the carport. I concentrated on just the areas around the Velcro where I applied the roof tape. After another very heavy rain even less drops of rain got through. I plan now on coating the entire exterior with this “marine” based product. Can’t say the name here but you can buy it on Amazon. I think that I will succeed in making the original top completely 100% waterproof.The top that Edward sent me will stay in the box till springtime. I’m in Massachusetts and our winters can be very severe. I want to stick with the original top and see how it survives a New England winter. I will have the new cover as a “back up” for next spring if needed.I would recommend this product, when you consider the price even with the tiny amount of water that originally got through it is still worth the price. My new “spare” top may already be 100% waterproof without all my extra efforts that I am trying on the original. And the simple fact that Edward sent me out a new top show that you can’t beat their customer service.Still 5 Stars!

Sturdy and easy to set up
Waited a bit before reviewing this, as I wanted to see how it held up. Putting it together was pretty easy, just repetitive but no issues with the fit and finish and no missing parts. I got the top on by myself, did take a bit of wrangling but it is easily possible to do it with one person.We have had a few good rains and one pretty major storm since I put this in, and it looks just as solid as when it was done. Sheds water very well and holds up to moderate (25mph) winds so far. Would recommend putting some stakes in for the base. I used some corkscrew like dog leash stakes, four of them on the central base, to keep it from moving. So far that's working. Not sure if it needs cement to secure it as some have said, but we don't get super strong winds here (PNW).Overall very happy with it. Keeps the leaves and pine needles off of my car. Not for large cars necessarily, but does have a decent amount of room (I have an old VW Beetle), and very nice to be able to lift up either the front of back (or both).Feel like this does a nice job of keeping the elements out, fairly easy to set up, and seems pretty sturdy so far. Would definitely recommend.

Really wanted to like this but....
UPDATE: The seller has quickly rectified the situation. While this product unfortunately didn't meet my expectations, I would certainly not hesitate to do business with the seller again. Very professional and helpful.Like most car guys, I'm out of space... and after searching for various storage solutions, I stumbled across this option which seemed to fit my needs. The package arrived quickly which is about the only positive thing I can say. Perhaps I received a defective product, but for $800 dollars would have expected much better quality. Upon unpacking the instructions were missing. Seller was very accommodating and sent within hours electronically. The metal used for the framing is cheap and very thin gauge - especially the two main mounting points. Many of the pieces were actually bent and had surface rust on them. They are supposed to clip together with a thin internal pin, but it is not stable and wobbles quite a bit. This gets slightly better when bolted to the ground, but it is a very poor design and will not come close to holding any sort of weight such as rain or snow. The lateral movement or side to side swaying is also quite concerning especially if you have a wide vehicle - the metal could contact your doors or fenders. This is again due to very low gauge metal being used for the two main support points. The metal is also supposed to be powder coated, but it chips very easily just from assembly. There are also spots that have no coating whatsoever. As I'm building another garage, I was hoping to get at least a year out of this so these were compromises I was willing to accept. I have had the shelter up now for almost a month and can honestly say it is worthless. The metal pieces have rusted further and the seams and fabric leak. Despite the fabric being taught and fastened correctly, the top of the shelter manages to collect pools of water which just drip all over the vehicle. Even light rain somehow makes its way in - just seeps through the fabric and spatters on the vehicle paint. Furthermore, the little bit of weight from the water on the top of the shelter actually caused the material to sag in just two heavy rain storms. There is no way this would come close to holding any type of snow accumulation. I also did not receive all hardware and had to procure at my local hardware store. I purchased stainless steel bolts which are holding up quite nicely versus the pieces provided which are actually already rusting and/or showing signs of oxidation - I don't even believe they are zinc coated. At this point, I've removed my vehicle from this shelter. Last thing I need is the metal poles to come crashing down on my car. I have purchased a universal car cover for an 1/8th of the price which keeps it dry. I have contacted the seller for some sort of resolution. This canopy may work for the west coast folks, but would not recommend for any type of situation where exposed to the elements. I am extremely disappointed with this purchase..
