JAinVA 4,619 #3 Posted August 27, 2020 How well do they stand up to a snow load? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 88vic #4 Posted August 27, 2020 I have 2. 10x10's put together so it's actually 1. 10x20. I fit 12 wheel horses in there. You'll want to put down concrete pavers or gravel or very least a tarp on the ground to cover the area because the ground tends to sweat from early morning until mid afternoon and itll "steam" in there, I didn't like the excess moisture. So when I covered the ground that issue stopped. Just a heads up ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 88vic #5 Posted August 27, 2020 I live north of Pittsburgh, Pa and they held up well with the snow. If we had a heavy snow I just went out there with a broom and brushed it off, wasn't bad at all. Make sure you anchor it into the ground, I've never had one blow away but heard horror stories lol.

Guest 88vic #6 Posted August 27, 2020 Ah I see yours came with a floor cover, mine didn't, I have a "shelter logic" brand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JAinVA 4,619 #7 Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Thanks for the information.I put this thing up today by myself.The anchors go in tommorrow.I ran out of daylight today but first thing in the morning it gets anchored.No floor cover provided.I had a roll of 6mil poly to keep the ground moisture at bay. This is a 10x15 and I'm thinking the next one being 10'x20'. Edited August 27, 2020 by JAinVA 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest 88vic #8 Posted August 27, 2020 Awesome, yeah I learned the hard way, a couple days of that and I was like nope ain't happening to me. Problem solved, lol. The other 8 horses are split up between the actual garage, a lean to that I built and an enclosed trailer. Who would have thought that it was a full time job taking care of all these horses ? Now I know what a farmer feels like... well sort of, 😂😂😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had strung rope on the frame under the roof part to support the roof too. Any loose areas will collect water/snow so when it's tight it will shed off more easily. And yes, brush the snow off if it starts to get deep. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,593 #10 Posted August 27, 2020 I have a 8x8 one. I built an 8x10 wooden floor and anchored the shed to the floor. Then I ran wooden slats along the roof to give it support to hold the snow. Works great. Mine has been up going on 7 yrs now. Most likely will have to be replaced after this winter. Starting to get a few tears along the zipper 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,274 #11 Posted August 27, 2020 Ours is a 10 x 20 jungle site purchase. Frame is great. Cover is sadly crap. After I year in the light duty Maine sun the top is fading. We put a second tarp over the top to hold that at bay for a bit. Ours is NOT snow load rated. Up around here we don't leave ANY snow on it. Ever. It gets brushed with every snowfall more than a dusting. To support the sides I used ratchet straps between the rafters. Recommended by someone on here. Works well. If you get a lot of snow the sides will push in. You can lay 2' x 8' plywood/OSB between the studs and cover to help support it. We're looking at the possibility of a solid top carport in addition to the tarp cover. We won't buy another unless temporary. Too much snow here. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
