Review on 🚲 YardStash Bike Storage Tent IV - Ultimate Outdoor Shed Cover for Bikes, Lawn Equipment & Garden Tools - Waterproof, Heavy-Duty Protection from Rain, Wind, and Snow by Steve Jones

This was the (almost) perfect solution for storing my bike and a few other items in one specific spot in my relatively small backyard without having to spend hundreds (if no ) to spend more) in a custom shed (my first thought before I got sticker shock and found this). The YardStash was easy to set up (see below) and protects your bike much better than a simple suitcase. Speaking of cases, the YardStash and accessories come in a cute little storage bag. I suppose this would be useful for those who plan to take apart and move the YardStash regularly, but for the rest it's a waste of time. I currently use YardStash for storage: 1 bike + helmet + bike rack, 1 bucket of sand bucket, 1 small electric lawn mower, parasol and a few miscellaneous garden tools. It's tight but works well. The tent, as advertised, fully protects the contents from rain and sun, although it can get quite hot inside on summer days. After securing it 3/4 with the supplied pegs and weighing it down with a bucket of leftover sand, the tent proved to be quite stable. Note that the first night I installed it I was only able to secure the A-pillars and didn't put anything substantial inside. The next day the wind almost knocked him out. Since then I haven't had any more problems. The supports are flexible enough to narrow 6-12 inches in width if needed. In my case it is installed in a narrow corner between my patio and the wall of the house. Two poles are fixed just below my deck and the others along my neighbor's house. I was able to use the 3/4 post stakes that were provided, but the latter accidentally fell in the middle of the paver and couldn't be secured. Securing the rears was also a little fiddly, I had to partially detach the front brackets so I could maneuver in tight spaces to attach the sparse brackets. I also used a bike lock as extra support on a sparse (unsecured) pole for extra stability in high winds, although this is probably not necessary as I placed a heavy bucket of leftover asphalt sand in that corner. difficult, but it can be difficult at the beginning. If you have little space, you need a lot of space to assemble it conveniently. Putting in the struts to support the roof was one of the most annoying parts of the build and the instructions weren't exactly helpful. It is imperative that you do not snap the support pieces into place before inserting the bars - once you have them fully in place, snapping them into place is easy enough. If you fully assemble the bar before inserting it, you will never be able to move it around the bend in the middle. Finding/putting things in the twilight.
