ShelterLogic 8 x 8 Instant Storage Shed Canopy - 70423

Assembly was pretty straightforward following the manual but would suggest watching a few YouTube videos first just to familiarize yourself. The tubing is strong, as is the material used for covering the framework. The ratchets work well to tighten the covering. Where I needed to put this shed was not level so I built a platform with treated 2x4s and plywood. Happy I did because this allowed easy squaring of the frame. The auger stakes would have worked nicely, except I have ledge rock. This is was the other reason I decided to build a heavy platform so I could anchor the frame to the platform with lag screws.

So far the materials seem very sturdy. It took us a bit longer to construct due to the size and one of us not being the handiest person in the world. The instructions were fairly easy to follow, but if I would have one complaint, the nuts, screws, and washers came in one large bag, we didn't realize until an hour into construction that there were different screws for different areas of the frame and it was hard to match the screw to the identification number on the instructions. It would have been a ton more helpful to have those separated by identification number to make it abundantly clear they need to go into specific areas. Other than that we are pleased with it. The description on the website is spot on to what you actually do get so it did suit the need we had very well!

Instructions had you putting pieces together and then taking them apart to finish putting it together.

I have the XXX 703 XXX 704 shown as the top left and right edges for the 8x8x8. The instructions seem to say that the front to middle ribs should be the same as the bottom to middle ridges. But from what I understand by the instructions the parts I received, it looks like the front rib left and right tops are 703 x 704, but when looking at the instructions, the bottom front to right ribs are 704 x 704 (and the only reason I can figure this is because of the A figure on page 6 that shows the 704 being connected to another 704.So it appears to me that the rear end of the side rails on both sides should be 704 x 704)

Are the back ribs on the top side rails 703 x 704 in the front and 704 x 704 on the back? From the instructions it appears that the front and back ribs should be attached to the middle in reverse (ie if the attachment from the middle to the back rib is 703 X 704, the attachment to the front rib should be 704 x 703 (each side being reversed).

It seems that the two Side Cross Rails (page 5, image A) only applies to the front rib and not the back rib. It looks like the back rib should be 704 x 704 instead of 703 x 704.

I'd love to see a new PDF or even more so love to charge Shelter Logic with updating the manual instructions for the 8x8x8 PDF. I only hope that what I think is correct (no matter how convoluted) might make as much sense as the 6x6x6 which I've already purchased and was easily put together.

Easy setup with everything separated on floor ,holding up nice with ny. weather brush snow off no problems

...Working on leveling surface in order to install flooring. Your instructions are easy to follow.

A really nice and easy to assemble product

Good quality for the price. We installed it under a deck so I guess it should last longer.
has quite a to of space and we were able to fit everything we needed.
Description from the website is accurate.

Very happy with the product, easy to set up and very sturdy, would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to purchase one.

This is not a flimsy shelter. It is very substantial and would weather a lot of storms. Very high quality.

Went up easy by myself. Has already handled 50+ mph wind. Great design. Should work perfect as a motorcycle storage while I am in an RV park.

I looked at motorcycle shelters. For bang for the buck, this is really the best way to go! I have it placed under a covered patio. It gives me a ton of protected space. My bike never had it so good!

We purchased this shed for additional storage while we were remodeling our camp. After ordering it, we were afraid that maybe we should have ordered a larger size. It arrived much more quickly than we expected. All the parts were in the package. We have never put anything like this together before, but with the easy instructions, it went together very quickly.
Once assembeled, we were pleasantly surprized that it held much more than we expected.

It took me about 6 hours to put up my new shed. It can easily be put together by one person. The canvas is sturdy and should last a long time. Shipping was fast and arrived with no problems. I intend to take it with when we move.

It arrive on time and everything was in the box with some extra hardware. After laying all the parts out on a table I had it all assemble in little over four hours. I had my wife help when I started to put the shelter up. All the holes line up and all the tubes went together with no problem.

Not a big deal but you do have to read and study the instruction so you get the right parts for the shelter. This could be improve upon to make it easier to understand. But this will not keep me from buying another canopy from this store.

Everything from ordering to installation was easy as long as you followed directions step by step and don't cut any corners.
It is a very sturdy shed. Keeps my hog dry.

I've purchased this and the King Canopy 7 X 12. While the King Canopy was easier to setup, this tent appears to be much more stable in weather (large auger stakes included). Everything assembled easily following the instructions. For the price, a great deal.

This website is easy to navigate. A price I can live with. Order process clean and easy. Shipping information sent daily. Package is complete every time (This is my 2nd Shelter). Setup is easy when you pay attention to detail (I put together by myself). I have had several wind events (50mph+) and this product performs!

I live in Eastern Massachusetts and bought this with the hopes it will last for at least two to three years before I move again. I didn't want to spend $800 on a resin shed like I did at my last house only to move and leave it. I bought this for a lot less and hopefully it'll last through the winters. It took me 3.5 to 4.0 hrs to put together by myself. The only help I had was with my kids holding one side of the legs so I could get the other side on. If you are looking for this product to be 100% waterproof like a resin shed I do not think you'll get it for the mere fact that there is not a floor with it. I mounted mine on a wooden platform and do not expect it to keep 100% of the water from getting inside from the bottom. Here is how I rate this product:

I bought 1 of the 8x8x8 sheds for my bikes and its great. I had a little trouble assembling it at first but I did it. I move around often and this shed is going to come in handy.

Yes I would recommend this product to anyone.

Assembly was easy and assembling in place is best. Had some trouble getting the canopy as tight as I thought it should be and I suspect some future cranks on the included fasteners will be required. All in all a pretty good quality shed that assembled easily. Placing the canopy did need 2 people.

The product arrived very promptly after ordering. As we started to lay out all the parts, everything seemed fine. However, once we got the frame up and started to put the back and front covers on it became apparent that we were not doing something right. They were both hanging rather loosely and no matter how many times we read the instructions, we just couldn't figure out how to tighten them up. The next day my husband finally came up with a fix and it actually lined up with the instructions. But, I know we both found the instructions rather vague. It's up now and we are very happy with the results.

The shed arrived within the time they said it would be delivered. It took my husband awhile to assemble but.....it was not as bad as he thought it would be. We only have had it up for 2 weeks but so far so good.

Although unit'; cardboard container was nearly torn apart, content was intact and all the parts were available. It took about 5 hours to assemble the frame.
The fabric has not been installed as I decided to use the supplied anchors in concrete as the unit will be in a permanent place.

If unit is to be moved I suggest that the customer order the optional anchor kit.

On a recent trip to Northeast Canada, I saw these shelters everywhere and it was perfect to store my riding lawn mower in Texas.

it was a little tough to assemble, but boy was it worth every penny and more! i fit an entire darkroom and all the furniture from a 300 sq. ft. room in this tent while i'm lowering my basement floor.
