Things for Your Garage

Reviews

Glad I did'nt waste a bundle of money on one of those stupid metal sheds. This thing is far superior, at a fraction of the cost. I put it together by myself, in a windstorm! only problem I had was that one of the strap ratchets fell apart. I called Shelter Logic, and they shipped a replacement same day. I can't review the anchor system. I din't use it. I built a floor to bolt it down to. Just love it. Shelter Logic and Northern Tools & Equipment are tops in my book

We recently purchased the ShelterLogic 10x10 for additional storage at our permanent camping site. So far we are very satisfied with this product - we wanted to get mowers, a glider swing, brooms, rolled fences for vegetable garden, and other items out of cold and snowy winter weather - plus eliminating the "junky" look around the camper. We plan to use it year long as with the summer comes planting flowers and vegetables utencils, containers, bags of dirt, etc. We got the grey shelter and when we checked it last week, it was nice and toasty inside so i'm thinking it'll be a great place to put spring plants prior to planting if the weather is cold and rainy. The village where we have our camper is small and we're not concerned about locking it. I am thinking about getting a smaller one for our home for my planting equipment, etc. (I'm a messy gardener!)

This is a good lightweight portable (not really portable) shed. Do not expect any assistance from the company with missing pieces or asking for replacement parts.

I have a Motoshade 10x20 enclosure and needed my second replacement cover for it. Motoshade 10x20 cover was out of stock everywhere. I purchased this cover which was cheaper in price. The construction and materials seem much stronger and the design is also much better. Hopefully this cover will last longer than 2 seasons. I store our boat under it and leave it up all year long so it truly gets the test of time. I was nervous about the fit but it did fit my enclosure better than Motoshade! Very happy.

I am using this for my toyota tundra and I was worried it would not stand the everyday wear and tear of a full size truck. After one month, I can honestly say this product has exceeded my expectations!!

I Bought this 2 month ago and I keep putting glue to keep it steady...but still...I'm looking for something works better...

This works well for me. I taped it down right from the start for peace of mind and it seems to be performing as advertised.

The parking mat works great, stays in place and has prevented my husband from driving the car into the garage wall. I plan to get another for our second car.

I'm happy with purchasing this product over the vast selection on the internet. The product sticks to the floor & has not moved; even with my large mud tires I still noticeably feel each bump and know when to stop; it's highly visible when backing into my garage. The only problem I have with this product is the sticker used as the reflector falls off without help. A little super glue took care of the problem!

This product is a total waste of money. I purchased 2 of them, 1 for my garage and 1 for my wifes. The motion detector does not work at all, the laser stayed on for about 24 hrs and then became too weak to even show up on the car. So far Amazon has always provided qualitiy products, but this one broke that record. They should remove cheap quality products like this from their web site.

Great Product. Installation is critical since you can't adjust the beam laterally, only longitudinally, after the unit is installed, so have the car in the place where you want it before you do the final drilling/screwing. Very semsitive movement sensor. Adequate wire length on the power supply. All around good product. No information on long-term reliability - we've only had ours installed about two months. Highly recommend

BUY IT. This is our second one, we have two garages. You can set it exactly where you want it on your car dash, window, etc. It works GREAT. Better than a tennis ball. After the first one, my husband was so sold on it, he was the one that wanted me to order the second one...I had to convince him it was a good idea on the first one. I thought it was cheaper than running through the wall of the garage.

This Laser guided parking aid works great. It is very easy to install and adjust.

this product worked fine for about one week. then for no apparent reason it got so dim that you can not see it if there is any light in the garage. very disappointed!

I bought two of these so that we could make sure our two cars end up in the right place every time. They stick to the floor and work extremely well. Unless you're off by over 8" in which case you won't feel the first bump and you've likely already crashed into a wall.

I purchased two of this product so I could stop the car at a precise spot in my garage. By putting two side by side, you give yourself a little leeway making it easier to run over the mat the first time. I also liked the fact that the backing has an adhesive material so they will not move front numerous contact with your car tires. I would recommend this item.

I bought this many months ago and it simply will not stay in place when you drive over it. I contacted the company customer support and they sent me another piece of tape and it still does not work. Until they create an adhesive that will hold it you are wasting your money on this product.

I've been a fan of Kelty products for years and had no reservations buying this one. The other poster is 100% correct in that this thing is huge! I ordered the medium one for my 1995 4Runner and it is much wider and longer then expected. With it "up" it was more stable then it looks but I would still be worried about leaving it up on a windy day. The reason that I gave it 4 stars is that the first time setting it up was a PITA and the instructions are less then clear. It took my wife and I about 20 minutes to figure out what goes where to get it set up but this was after my first attempt at the beach with some wind. I plan on having this for years and years and with Kelty's warranty I'll just head up the road to Boulder to get a replacement if I ever have any problems.

I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey that is big enough for my wife and I to sleep in while camping, but not big enough to store all our camping gear at the same time. So, when I came across the Carport Deluxe in a catalog I knew I had found the answer to our problem. It was *perfect* on our first outing. At night we'd keep it down with all our gear inside the shelter and there was still tons of room (this thing is HUGE) for changing, or reading, or eating dinner, etc. During the day we'd put it up as an awning and it was great for shade (once again, it is much bigger than we expected, but that is a *good* thing). We've also used it for tailgate parties at Anaheim Stadium, and it can be used separate from the van as a shelter at the beach. It has performed perfectly for it's purpose.

This is a handy reference for general construction techniques. It isn't a big book, in fact it is only about the size of a magazine, but yet it covers so much. It starts with site selection, and goes all the way through siding and roofing. You may still need more detail about certain steps, but this will certainly get you going in the right direction. I think it's a book worth having on the bookshelf for future projects too.

The garage I currently own is not only leaning to the South but is also put together from what looks like 3 other garages. I bought this book to help me with designing and possibly doing part of the new garage myself. After looking through it for an afternoon, I now know that we will be doing the entire thing ourselves. The book covers: Design considerations Requirements (permits, drawings and such) Tools, materials and fasteners (basic, but discusses nails, screws and framing connectors in some depth) Lumber and its defects Site and layout Foundation (with a good section on footings) Pouring concrete Framing (of course) Building a carport and a shed roof Roofing, doors, windows, siding, sectional garage door ("roll ups") 4 garage projects - with cutting and materials list! (one-car detached garage, one-car attached carport with shed, one-car detached carport with gable roof, and a two-car detached garage with truss roof) Truss types (W-type and Howe) plus installation tips Conversion chart and a glossary. For a "Quick Guide" and only 80 pages, this book is well laid out, nicely written and has tons of drawings so that you can instantly see what they are talking about (see the "Search Inside" feature on Amazon.) When it comes to construction, I do better with pictures / drawings / blueprints. If you are looking to do part of your garage or all of it I highly recommend this book. Or, if you just want to have a better understanding of what your contractor is talking about, this book can help you with the language and the `why' of construction. Also, my book came with a different cover (see the picture I submitted.) The inside is the same as the "Search Inside", page for page, so I don't think anything major changed.

This book covered all the basics. It is a good resource, although you will probably need more detailed information if you are going to build the garage completely by yourself.

When you start a major project, whether a do-it-yourselfer or a builder or contractor, you want the best and most up-to-date building instructions and guidance you can find. This book is the one that instructs you as to the hows and whys, giving good shortcuts in money-saving and time-saving techniques on building that garage or carport. As a general contractor who is on the job working with my crew, I found this one to be one of the best.

Here is a cogent, extremely useful book, one of a seemingly scant offering of books on the subject of building your own carport. (Garage construction is much easier to find reference material for) Unfortunately, this brief manual deals primarily with garage building, devoting less than equal space to the special problems associated with the construction of a free-standing, unseathed structure. Nevertheless, I found it most helpful as a starting point. Besides, how can you argue with anything that costs as little as the publisher charges for this book. You will be hard pressed to find a better value for your $8.

Good information for home owners that need extra space and for the more handy person that has the technical knowledge to start home projects...

These are sharp-looking and comfortable sneakers. They aren't for any kind of athletic endeavors but work great for walking. Only complaint is that the repurposed tire as an outsole is lumpy to walk on and slippery on wet ground. ...at least they don't look like they are made of crepe paper like some of the other simples now that they are all eco-groovy.

We are using this to house a bunch of motorcycles, and it has stood up well to high-gusting Santa Ana winds (it's not even moored to the ground!) and heavy spring rains. The zippers are heavy-duty sturdy, the material is hearty and the thing stays put. I only wish they made one in 10x10.

Does as advertised. It provides a cover for my car. I highly suggest you provide anchor support for both the frame and the feet. It only took an 8ft ladder with me and my wife.

My wife's birthday is in December. We celebrated her 5oth birthday last week. We invited over 70 guests. Although we live in Southern California, it still gets cold at night. This year it also rained through out the week during our party. I connected (3) 10X20 tents together and used the enclosure kits' outside walls only. We used a couple of portable heaters and the party was a hit. Our guests were impressed. They thought we would have to cancel the party because of the bad weather conditions. We couldn't have done it without enclosing the tents.

I must admit, I was never really a fan of the jazz genre but my coworkers, who are jazz aficionados, had nothing but good things to say about Marilyn Scott and her body of work--especially this album. "Walking With Strangers" has made me appreciate the genre and the contemporary jazz vocalist--Scott's vocals are smooth and filled with emotion. They really shine in "No Room For Hate" but also pair well with the more funky and upbeat title track "Walking With Strangers." "Loving You" and "Don't Let Love Get Away" are also my favorites.

Of course it doesn't surprise me that Marilyn has dished out yet another great album. She just has the ability to take you away. The first track Loving You, just takes me back. I have made a charge to inform everyone about her. And for those who haven't heard of her, you are definitely missing out. She is simply put... jazz at it's best!

It baffles me how many people have never heard of this amazing vocalist! This is one of her standout albums. Upon hearing the first track, I knew this CD was something special. "Loving You" is beautifully crafted and "Give In" is delightful and just plain fun! You won't be disappointed.

Other reviewers seem to be more familiar with her work than I am but I am glad to have finally made her acquaintance. I was expecting something more along the lines of Dianna Krall but I am not disappointed. It is only the style that failed to meet MY expectations. This is a jazz vocal album. It leans heavily towards love songs and they are well executed. Fans of the genre should be satisfied.

This is Marilyn's best album ever, and also a must for all Yellow Jackets fans, and every westcoast music lover in the world!! Buy it now! Buy one for yourself and one for every frend you have!! Greetings from Petter Solholm, Norway :-)
