I am planning to order some paracord for guying and making hanging lines for the canopy shelter frame. Would it be better to go for something more expensive and branded paracord, or are they all more or less the same? From eBay it seems a lot cheaper about £10 for 100m long and 4mm thickness...

Yes, that sounds right. We are having a rainy and windy day today at the time of writing this post. I checked with BBC weather, and it says the wind speed is between 20-30 miles per an hour this area today. I can already see the shelter making noises, and moving around with the wind. At one...

They look great pegs, but rather expensive.

No probs Pattree. Yeah taking down the PVC roof is one of the options, although it could be a boring tedious task. With the roof off, the frames should be ok, as there is no much surface that takes the wind force.

I have never used augers for anchoring the dogs. The only augers I have seen were for drilling the woods. I thought our waste pipes running down the house wall outside were made very strong with some heavy metalic stuff, and well secured into the wall and the ground too. But as you said, it...

The canopy shelter is not anchored to the ground yet. The 4x outriggers seem to be holding it very securely. But I will get some guy wire and tie them into the tree stumps and the drainage pipes as well as get some pegs and push them down into the soil trying to further secure it down.

Yes, that was the premeditated worry. Taking the PVC roof off from the frame during the winter season seems best answer suppose. I have seen some heavy and solid all metal structures getting badly damaged or suffering total collapses by strong winds in the videos. This mobile carport canopy...

It is secured with the scaffolding outriggers 4x on each leg of the shelter. It feels quite secure right now, but the strong wind might do some damage during the winter months. Here is a video for the shelter. It keeps rain and sun lights off giving good shelter right now.

Now I have set up my shelter in the garden, I am trying to further secure it so it can withstand the strong wind, which can happen any time, but definely during the winter time. The shelter is made up with the aluminium pipe frames which clicks into the shape, and the pvc canopy attached on...

Good point. Many tarps and plastic tents might peel the coating after a few days under the scorching sun. That's why they go for the cotton fabric ones? But even they can have some shortcomings under constant use. Having said that, my neighbors gazebo with hard plastic over seems to have...

In the case of the side panel / wall-less carport, fire wouldn't be much problem of concern. All you got is the roof and metal frames. In confined space, woold burning stove can be hazard, but it would be so in any confined space.

This is something one has to keep in mind when placing the tools around out in the garden. All my pricy electric tools are in the wooden and metal shed locked up securely. They only come out the sheds when getting used, and go back in after. The only tools I put out in the garden all through...

I have had this type of greenhouse kit in the garden a few year ago. It was ok, but was too flimsy in construction. It was blown off and damaged during the winter storm. Went to bin.

That looks great.

Or even this carport seemed good. It is more flexibile in the way that if needed, it can always be draped with a tarp around the sides, or just be left open for lots of spaces to get in and out. The main point seems that it will shelter from the rain and the elements, and be more robust due to...

Thank you for your info and advice. Very informative and helpful. I was browsing the online sellers items, and was interested in this item for its good price, and simplicity. How robust it would be I am not sure...

Good point. If it is to be set up on the grass area, it would be better without the flooring which can only be possible with tarp or mobile garage type shelters. I have seen these for sale on eBay for good price. Only thing I was not sure about these were, it looked hassle to set up with many...

I would like to setup the tent, and leave it for the whole summer while works going on. So, something more solid and robust tent would be ideal. Looking at the new 3 sec. setup tents in Amazon and eBay, they didn't look too strong to last for long time. I have not seen the inflateable fram...

I am planning to put up a large size tent in the garden for storing garden tools while working around the garden. It would be used for having lunches and drinking teas in the tent in the middle of the garden work. I have a lot to work on the garde for clearing stuff, and tidying up the path...
