Ikuby Medium Car Shelter - Foldable, Retractable, Lockable, Durable

This is my 2nd Ikuby Carport system. The first one I bought more than a year ago and as you can see in the photo, it held up well. I love that it doesn’t touch your car and it protects it from the sun, rain, pollen, tree saps and dust. It has two screened windows on each side which allows air to circulate on those hot days but can be closed on those rainy days (I always keep them open). You can easily open the carport from either front or back or both (so you can easily pass through it if needed). If you need to lock it you can use the provided lock mounts but you need to drill them to the ground.It is easy to install, one can do it but it helps a lot when there are two of you as the frame is pretty big. Don’t forget to anchor it to the ground (hardware is provided but you will need a masonry drill bit and a drill if you are anchoring it to a concrete driveway), my first one went through some really heavy winds and it survived them ok.I bought the medium size first and it can easily fit large cars and crossovers easily. But for my second one I purchased the Large one and it is so big that there are lots of extra space in front and back of my car.I think this is the best solution out there right now to protect your car from the elements when a permanent structure is not possible. It is portable, removable and light. I obviously would recommend it as I bought my 2nd one.Issues? The first one I bought did not have any issues during assembly, the 2nd one there are a couple of holes that did not line up but nothing that a drill did not fix. Also after a year outside, you start to see some molds develop on the inside part of the car port as expected on anything that is exposed to moisture outside so you just clean it with some mold spray and that takes care of it. Other than those it really just do what it’s supposed to. It is a great product, it is not cheap but I think it is worth it.

Truly outstanding customer service which I will explain below. I bought this for a '72 Corvette and the car easily fit into it. I have used this for over eight months now, including over an unusually harsh winter in a mountain community that was subjected this winter to a once-in-two-decade event. The carport is extremely easy to use and I like that you can bring up just one side or both sides to the middle. I don't have to worry about swirl marks from using a car cover as this sits well away from the car and really keeps out the elements. Rain and snow did not drip through the cover.I think if we had had a normal season, this shelter would have been able to withstand it and I bought it with the regular snow load in mind, having seen from other reviews that it withstood winters back East. It is a good idea to not let the snow accumulate and I knew this when I got the cover. Unfortunately, overnight we had some serious wet snowfall which melted and then froze, creating a thick ice layer which was heavy. Even though the carport is fairly well constructed, under the weight, some of the metal pieces buckled. I contacted customer service to see I could buy replacement pieces, but instead they instantly shipped me the pieces at no charge even though they could have argued that I was at fault. I have to say that this company stands behind its product and I will be purchasing another carport sometime later in the year to protect my other Corvette.

The “garage” went together reasonably easy and appears to be good quality (don’t believe the “2 people in 1 hour”). A nice heavy canvas cover with the inside sprayed with what looks like neoprene. The powder coat is more of a powder mist, as it cracked on every nut tighten, and I did not over tighten anything, but shouldn’t be an issue in southern Peoples Republik of Kalifornya. The biggest pain is the wedge bolts they include for attaching to concrete appear to be 14 mm and will not pound into a 1/2 hole (try to find a 9/16 masonry bit in a hardware store). Bought 1/2 inch wedgies and life is good. Separately a C5 Corvette and a 70 Mach 1 both fit nice, but a bit tight for a door opening on the vette (100” width). Overall I am happy with the garage, but am waiting to see how it holds up in the wind. I like the “no touch” of the cover on the paint. I bought it because I was tired of collecting my car covers from the neighbor’s yard after every wind event (we get 50+ mph at times). Buy the 5 year warranty that covers rips, tears and stains, as I have never seen a canvas cover last more than 3 (it will be a half price cover in 3 years). Sturdiness gets a 3 until I see a wind.Followup: Had some decent winds and a bit of rain in the spring and the cover stayed in place and kept the car dry. Exactly what I was hoping for.Update. Lowering to 3 stars as fabric ripped after 18 months. Bought the Allstate 5 year protection plan, but it does NOT cover tax or shipping costs. This means I have to buy a new cover that costs about 50% of a new garage (Ikuby charges $90 for shipping the cover).Update; Cover ripped again in just under a year. Ikuby replaced it for free. Great support by text, email or phone.

I am extremely satisfied with the quality and durability of this car shelter! The structure is sturdy, providing excellent protection for my vehicle against sun, rain, and snow. Assembly was straightforward with clear instructions, and the materials feel built to last. It’s a great investment to keep my car safe from the elements. Highly recommend!
