F.A.Q's

1. Assembly
How complicated is assembly?
Feedback from the majority of our customers is that assembly is easy. The setup is lego style nuts and bolts.

How long does assembly take?
The majority of customers take about 1.5 hours to setup up. It’s usually longer if you do not read the instructions first!

Do you have any tips?
We incorporate tips into the instructions as they come up. The other place to look for tips is in the testimonials.

Do I need special tools?
Standard tools such as a ratchet set are required. If you want to secure the anchor plate you may require a drill or large hammer.

2. Durability
What kind of snow load can the frame handle?
The frame can handle a distributed snow load of approximate. 75 pounds. We recommend that you clean the snow off if it is wet and heavy with water.

Will it blow away?
When the bike is properly installed on the anchor plate the Bike Barn will not blow away. You can place some standard wall bricks(cinder blocks) or other heavy objects on the grounding plate at the inside edges as ballast for when your Bike is not inside.

How do you secure the base?
The base can be secured with weights on the anchor plate inside.
A more permanent method is to drill holes for concrete bolts and bolt the anchor plate to the ground. There are 2 holes in the anchor plate for this purpose. If you are installing on ground a long spike does a good job.

3. Construction
What material is the Bike Barn made of?
The Bike Barn frame is made from 1/2” commercial grade galvanized steel. The tubes are galvanized inside and out to prevent rust from the inside out. The Bike Barn tent is made from 100% polyester fabric engineered for outside use. The fabric has an exterior coating of water repellant to bead off water and an under coat of polyurethane to prevent water from seeping through.

Will the seams leak?
All seams are sewn with a marine grade thread that you may see light through on a dry day. The thread is designed to instantly expand to fill the hole in the presence of water preventing leaks. Just dump a bucket of water on the tent on a dry day and see if it leaks.

Will the frame rust?
The galvanized steel will prevent rust in the typical uses for the Bike Barn.

What is the life expectancy of the tent?
There are many tents still in use from the first Bike Barns 6 years ago. We estimate a reasonable tent life to be 5 years in a harsh environment such as Florida coast. Replacement covers are available.
