Motorcycle Storage Tent Review | Store Your Bike Outdoors In Winter | Vevor Motorcycle Shelter Guide

[@stealhty1]

Your voice is so calming rain doesn't even matter anymore

[@SPANNERRASH]

Ha, rain never hurt anybody! But getting your bike wet does! ;)

[@ShaddowLess]

The most impressive thing about this video is you reading all of the instructions before you start building .I didn't even know that was possible to do

[@SPANNERRASH]

Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@richarddrew662]

Thank You for the reply ye I think I'll just go with the large rather taking a chance thanks again!

[@TheMatt012896]

Dude you are God sent haha this is the most helpful videos on vevor motorcycle shelter! Thank you sir

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks. It is the handiest thing I have got to give me room in my workshop. And it keeps my bikes nice and comfortable from the weather, especially now Winter has started.

[@juliansmith1608]

I'm in UK near Manchester Airport. Without the ground mat my VFR gets extra damp! And the concrete projects the ice cold into the bike. My bridge stone tyres were mis shapen with contact with the cold floor! I found 3mm rubber matting was too skinny but 5mm rubber matting works best. Enjoy

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks for sharing. You have opened my eyes to something I hadn't even thought would be a problem. I'll have to think about it.

[@splodge57]

Looks a good idea now my garage is full. In 50 years of riding I've never pushed my bike around standing on the RH side, I just know I'd drop it.

[@SPANNERRASH]

It is working out really well for me, I am really pleased I have got it. If your drop comment is about the VFR vid, I was on the left of the bike and it fell away from me, because it was so unexpected I wasn't in a postion to stop it. Lessons learned, thinking back this must be the first time in 40+ years and over 30 bikes that this has happened like that. I must be getting old :)

[@shamusbarringer6863]

You are my hero Sir! I expected to see a youngster putting it up,but you are my age (old bikers rule) I am delighted. I think I've gone over the top, I've purchased the large one and at the moment I'm riding a 125 oh dear,how sad, never mind! You have saved me a lot of scrabbling around on the cold concrete,by the way we have matching kneeling pad, thank you for your wonderful instructions. 😁👍✅

[@SPANNERRASH]

Wow, thanks! Don't forget to anchor it down using the bolts provided. The wind will try to move it. Ask me how I know :) It's great to ride, no matter what size the bike. I have had more fun on 125s than I can remember.

[@shamusbarringer6863]

@@SPANNERRASH greetings! My fallout shelter is securely bolted to the ground, thank you for your concern. I have a bit of a dodgy hip so I'm staying with my 125 for now unless the vet can fix me or shoot me.. Talking of fun with little bikes,my first bike was an Excelsior Consort,98cc 2 speed box and I paid £8 for it. The cursed thing would do about 4 miles before the coil got hot and packed up,I would then have to sit at the side of the road and wait for it to cool down before proceeding! I miss the old days....NOT! anyway must stop rambling, once again thank you for your wonderful video, wishing you many more years of happy motorcycling, good luck. 🤪👍✅

[@markduncan525]

Great video. Wish all KZbin videos were this relaxed and to the point. Subscribed!

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks for the sub! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@karlvanboxel561]

Much better than a tarpaulin! ❤️

[@SPANNERRASH]

You're not kidding! And so much easier to put the bike under quickly.

[@philiptuffs-wh7jp]

I have a house by the beach , I bought a top end cover that ripped after 2 weeks . Would this tent work or could you advise , I don’t want a full time structure

[@hadrianbriggs9506]

Great review

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks. :)

[@juliansmith1608]

I've yet to get one of these bike shelters. Although I've got the critical 5mm rubber ground mat too keep bike safe of ice cold or hot weather. The tyres are at risk of deformation otherwise! Can't wait cheers

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks for the info! I haven't really thought about something underneath, but I'm not sure the weather in the UK will cause me such an issue.

[@Lostoldman]

Looks like you have plenty room in that massive garage I wouldn’t have thought you needed that cover.

[@SPANNERRASH]

I suspect you are referring to the garage where we do the car work. Unfortunately it is around 15 miles away. To far to walk home :) My garage is a standard 2.4 by 4.8 with two blast cabinets, and a large compressor, never mind the usual garage clutter. I can fit two bikes in with it as it is, but it leaves no room to breave. The cover was a game changer for having a little more garage access, I wouldn't be without.

[@Lostoldman]

@@SPANNERRASH thank you for taking the time to reply. I now understand.

[@iamjungle3558]

This video helped me alot, and I agree about the rust issue Mines the same

[@SPANNERRASH]

I'm glad it helped. With a little better finish to the framework it would be almost perfect.

[@iamjungle3558]

@SPANNERRASH did you happen to do a follow up video with a review on how this one has survived so far?

[@SPANNERRASH]

@@iamjungle3558 I might do a followup at some point in the future but haven't yet. It's holding up very well so far though, no issues with it's first winter.

[@oanie9545]

thank you for sharing. Now I can start with mine

[@SPANNERRASH]

No problem. Make sure you put some rust proofing on the framework where it is against the ground if you want to stop it rusting. Good luck.

[@Blitz0203]

Thank you for sharing a very well done video. I have 1 question I wonder if I could ask of you. I live in an area where we get snow. So naturally, I'm concerned about a snow load and it's weight. Do you think reinforcement on the top would be needed such as conduit sleeves would be necessary? Simply inserting the top cross bars into the conduit is what I'm suggesting. I would appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you again for an awesome video! Rick

[@SPANNERRASH]

The framework and fabric for the cover is quite strong, and if you reinforced the frame as well it would be very strong. Sorry but I have no idea about snow load! I am sure it will not be a problem here in England, but I really couldn't say for somewhere that gets real snow! I would give it a try, but don't quote me! Ha. Good luck.

[@Blitz0203]

@SPANNERRASH Thank you so much for your quick reply and thoughtful comments! I live on Long Island in New York, so snow can be a real problem. And based upon your advice and thoughts, I will be adding several pieces of EMT conduit to the cross braces. I know I'll sleep better at night because I did. Thank you Sir! 👌

[@Konstantinos_S]

Very nice video! However, I would like to ask what happens on days when you have strong winds?

[@SPANNERRASH]

It comes with some ground anchor ( lightweight ) style bolts to connect it to the ground. I haven't had a problem, despite it being in a wind tunnel at the side of my house, and we have had some severe weather that has caused damage elsewhere. I do put an additional weight on the corner of the end that comes up, as well, though. I hope this helps.

[@Konstantinos_S]

@@SPANNERRASH thanx for the reply,ride safe!!!

[@robm4599]

I just got one and it’s an absolute bag of Shyte, may aswel of just got a decent bike cover for less cash

[@SPANNERRASH]

Interesting, what was wrong with yours? Mine is still going strong, it's not perfect but for the money I'm impressed with it.

[@jamesnoonan7450]

I suspect nothing was wrong with it, hence his lack of response 😂😂

[@motorbikemumblings]

Great video but shame they sent you one with corrosion on from the box, that seems a bit poor regardless of price.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks, yes, the poles do need some work to keep them from corroding too quickly.

[@mulliedog1]

Looks like it will do the job! Do you get much snow? I’m spoiled in South Florida. I keep my motorcycles parked on my carport with covers on them. Thanks for the video! Take care.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Cheers. Some snow, but usually not that much. It is just mostly wet and miserable, with the odd reallly nice day to get your hopes up. Then it's back to rain until April :) Look after your self, don't forget sun screen!

[@lukedooner4164]

How would u bolt it down to the concrete plz helpful video

[@SPANNERRASH]

Once you are certain about where you want to keep it, there are specific holes in the bottom frame. There are some at the corner of the back part, and also on the hinges. They send the right kind of fasteners in the hardware pack. They are anchor type fasteners. You drill the hole, put the fastener in, screw the bolt, and it makes the outside of the part in the hole expand so that it doesn't come out. They aren't very big and you only need 1 in each mounting postion, 4 altogether. You do need to anchor it down though or it will move when it is very windy.

[@richarddrew662]

Great video will definitely buy one, would my CBF600 fit under this size with a top box? I see in the video it was tight on you're bike with a top box!

[@SPANNERRASH]

Doesn't really work for me with a top box on the VFR. Maybe the next size up would, this one was the smaller on. The only issue I have found is that the frame could do with more anti corrosion, but for the price it works out really good.

[@JuanG-era]

I'm gonna make this one using pvc pipes and some tarp

[@SPANNERRASH]

Sounds like a plan. But I suspect it may take some time. If the pvc pipes work that would solve the rusting issue. Good luck.

[@scottcates]

This is an exceptionally good video, Sir. I'm in Drizzly Seattle with my ZG1000 (tall screen and top box). I'm going to see if Vevor's larger size will fit ASAP. Thank you!

[@SPANNERRASH]

Glad it was helpful. I hope that the larger one works for you. Take care.

[@cabovermike]

You lost me at the instructions part of the video , as nice as that carry bag is its a bit pointless , it would make the product cheaper to buy without it, i cant see any other use for it either ,. I agree the pipework could be better finished , maybe dipped in something or a better paint finish , maybe spray it with a tin of hamerite before you put the cover on, but once up it looks pretty good and weather proof, ive just bought a "moto gp" out door rain cover for £20 and its good for the price to,. would it not be better /possible to reverse the bike in and put it on the mainstand ? or is it front in first only ?

[@SPANNERRASH]

Thanks for watching. It is working out better than I expected. I will have to rust proof the metalwork, I think I might use some sort of wax. I'm too lazy to hammerite them :)

[@sk1ppy2000]

i have this and i reverse mine in, its much easier, its also lot easier to build than it looks, ive had mine 3 yrs now and not had any issues with rust of the pipes, the cover however has faded due to the sun and the bottom bits that touch the ground have began to fray, however its still going strong and still keeping my bike dry, im in Scotland so you can image the weather we get up here. if you are in 2 minds to get this or not, then get it, trust me its worth the £100ish that they cost, i got the "hide your ride" version, but im guessing they are all pretty much the same. at £100 i was happy to get a year out of it and just get a new one every year, so its massively out performed what i expected, you will go through more of those £20 covers in the time this will last you so would actually save you money just getting one tbh

[@Valentino46forever46]

how are you getting on with it now ?, planning to buy one myself

[@SPANNERRASH]

It is working out really well. I was really concerned when we have had some storms recently, but it was absolutely great. I used the ground bolts that came with it and the didn't move. It certainly keeps the weather off the bike, a really great way of making room for more bikes.

[@Peter-Alexander]

Is the material breathable, was a bit worried about humidity level that would not be so great for the bike. You need something like goretex I think.

[@konstakonsta9288]

hi,what size is this motorcycle garage?and what is the height of your motorcycle?

[@SPANNERRASH]

If you follow the links in the description they have the dimensions of both Vevor motorcycle tents. I have the smaller one, it has a max height of 1.6m. The VFR is around 1.2m high, mine is slightly higher having a raised screen, but probably only 5cm higher or so. You have to take into account that the highest part of the tent is towards the middle, so the screen only just fits under where the tent goes over it at the front. I hope this helps.

[@konstakonsta9288]

I have an Africa Twin and its height is 1.43 m and I have already ordered the awning that is 1.6 m, I hope it will fit.

[@SPANNERRASH]

I think you would have been better with the bigger one. I think your screen may catch at the front. Let me know how you go on.

[@Nunya369]

Currently trying to figure out a mod to get the last 2 bars over by 12" apehangers.

[@SPANNERRASH]

Good luck. My VFR only just fits in. I have the smaller one, maybe the bigger one would give you more of a chance.

[@chrisc4636]

Hi mate what did u weight it down with

[@SPANNERRASH]

I followed up by installing the floor anchors to keep it very solid, but you could also use some old brake discs for example.

[@chrisc4636]

@@SPANNERRASH thanks for reply 👍🏻

[@fredstraw]

is it still keeping your bike dry

[@SPANNERRASH]

It's working out far better than I hoped. We have had a few storms and it hasn't been a problem, really dry inside.

[@fredstraw]

@@SPANNERRASH Sounds good my enfield has a cover over it and when i look under it's soaking wet.

[@ep9649]

Maybe it looks like rusty weak crap, but at least it is expensive 🙃. Overal good idea. i woud like to buy such product, even at double price but ony if it was made from solid materials

[@SPANNERRASH]

TBH the tent part is great, probably couldn't be much better. However the frame doesn't really have enough rust proofing. With hindsight I think a good coat of a rustproofing paint before building it would really have helped. That having been said. it is now coming into it's second Winter, and the bike that I have put in it has been very well protected. I think next year I will need to give the frame a bit of attention if I want it to last, but overall I think it is good for the money.

[@lukajakovljevic5181]

It need to be white or grey in the summer your bike will be cooking

[@SPANNERRASH]

Interesting comment, I will keep an eye on that. But its in a fairly well shaded spot, and the UK doesn't have too many of those beaming sun days either.

[@WhippyWhip2]

just seeing the rust when you unboxed it was enough for me to know never to buy this cheap crap

[@SPANNERRASH]

Definitely a shame that, but it's still a bargain for what it is, it's going to live outside anyway.
