Sheds, garages and carports
How long does a ShelterLogic Shed-in-a-Box last?
With proper care, 5-10+ years. The polyethylene cover is UV-treated and waterproof. Replace the cover when it shows wear rather than the entire structure.
What foundation does a steel carport need?
A level concrete pad or compacted gravel base is recommended. Anchor bolts are included for securing the carport to concrete.
What warranty do Arrow steel buildings come with?
How do I anchor an Arrow shed or carport to the ground?
Can I use a Shed-in-a-Box as a workshop or garage?
Yes for storage and light workshop use. Not insulated or heated, but provides excellent weather protection for tools, equipment, vehicles, and seasonal items.
What is the difference between ShelterCoat and ShelterTube garages?
ShelterTube is wind and snow-load rated with heavier steel framing. ShelterCoat is a standard-duty option at a lower price point. Both use polyethylene covers.
What size carport do I need for my vehicle?
Standard car: 10'x20'. SUV/truck: 12'x20'+. Two vehicles: 20'x20'+. RV/boat: 14'x42' or larger.
What size portable garage do I need for an SUV or truck?
12' x 20' minimum for a standard SUV. 12' x 24'+ for a full-size truck. 20' x 20'+ for two vehicles. Height should be at least 10 ft. for trucks and SUVs.
Where are Arrow sheds and carports manufactured?
Can I store a car in a ShelterLogic portable garage year-round?
Yes. Both ShelterCoat and ShelterTube garages are designed for year-round vehicle protection. Ensure proper anchoring and periodic snow removal for the best results.
Can an Arrow steel carport withstand heavy snow in Canada?
Yes. Arrow galvanized steel carports are designed for heavy loads. Larger models (14'+ height) handle significant snow accumulation, but regular snow removal is recommended.
Can a ShelterCoat garage stay up through a Canadian winter?
Yes. The round models are rated for winds up to 90 mph and a 40 psf snow load; clear heavy snow off the cover and keep the frame anchored and the cover taut.
What sizes and colours of ShelterCoat garage does IPATIO carry?
Round garages in 8 x 12, 8 x 16 and 10 x 12 ft, and peak garages in 16 x 40 x 16 ft — all in grey, and every size except the 8 x 12 also in green.
How is a ShelterCoat garage anchored?
Each leg sits on a universal steel foot plate that bolts to ground anchors, concrete or a pony wall; the manufacturer recommends one anchor per leg.
Which Arrow carport does an enclosure kit fit?
The kit length must match the carport: 15, 20, 24 or 29 ft long, on an Arrow steel carport 9 ft tall in any of the 10, 12 and 20 ft widths.
What is an Arrow Resin Series shed made of, and does it need painting?
Multi-wall resin panels, UV-protected and water-resistant: they do not rot or rust and never need painting or staining, and the door handles take a padlock.
Which Arrow Resin Series shed should I choose — the 4 x 2 vertical or a walk-in size?
The 4 x 2 vertical holds about 22 cu. ft. of long-handled tools in a tight spot; the 6 x 4, 6 x 8 and 8 x 10 walk-in sheds have swing doors, a window and a vented gable roof.
What is the difference between a 1-sided and a 2-sided carport enclosure kit?
A 1-sided kit closes one long side of the carport, a 2-sided kit closes both. The ends stay open either way, so you keep drive-through access.
What colour are the Arrow carport enclosure kits, and what is in the box?
Eggshell or charcoal 29-gauge galvanized steel panels, painted to match the Arrow carport roof, with the fastening hardware and the instructions. The carport is not included.
Does an Arrow Resin Series shed come with a floor?
Yes — the floor is in the box with the panels, frame, roof, hardware and instructions, so no separate floor frame kit is needed. It still wants level, well-drained ground.
