This review is for the YardStash IV which is extremely well made, easy to assembly (10 minutes or less) and the material is very thick such that I expect to hold up well to the Florida sunshine. We have an RV so this works perfectly to stash items that we don't want to get wet but don't have room for in the RV, like an electric smoker, bike rack, bike, cases of wine etc. It is big enough to hold all of this albeit it is stuffed to the roof. Due to the heaviness of some of these items and the possibility of tearing the floor, we had styrofoam insulation sheets (that come in 4' x 8 ' sheets) cut to fit the inside and outside (on the ground underneath the flooring). This stuff takes a beating and while it compresses somewhat I feel confident it will protect the flooring. The zippers are heavy duty and you can easily lock your YardStash by using a hasp lock to connect the two zipper handles. While some loser could cut the fabric to take your stuff, this will at least slow them down long enough that hopefully someone in the RV park notices them!

I have owned two Yardstash III's and have been happy with them except for the fact that the canvas only lasts about a year when exposed to the sun. So I bought the Yarstash IV for its heavier fabric. What I didn't realize was that the pole "skeleton" is different and a poor design. The roof poles cross each other making the yardstash narrower at the top than the III model. And there are no support poles on the sides and that allows the four corner poles to buckle. I have this item up against the side of a storage shed, but can't use the ground stakes because my patio is pavers. So the tent slumps and falls over in the wind. It may be too much to ask, but I'd like this company to send me two side poles for the bottom grommets to keep the corner poles apart at the ground. Then, perhaps, this storage unit would be stable. Check out my photo - side view of this yardstash.

It survived Hurricane Irma in Key West!! Great durability! We left the yardstash assembled with a couple trashcans inside (we took our bikes in the house just in case). It is anchored to the pavers and to a cement wall with bolts. We returned today after evacuating to find that many of our trees are broken and in the pool, but the yardstash looks like nothing happened. It fits our two beach cruiser bicycles (one with a basket on the back) with no issues. A great product!

This was the (near) perfect solution for storing my bike and a few other items in a specific space in my relatively small backyard without spending hundreds (if not more) on a custom built shed (my first thought, before getting sticker shock and finding this). The YardStash was not too difficult to setup (see below) and is much more convenient for protecting a bike than a simple cover.

Speaking of covers, the YardStash and accessories come in a nice little storage bag. I suppose that would be useful for those that plan on disassembling and moving the YardStash on a regular basis, but is a waste for the rest of us.

I'm currently using the YardStash to store: 1 Bicycle + Helmet + Bikestand, 1 Bucket of paver sand, 1 small electric lawnmower, patio umbrella, and some miscellaneous gardening tools. It's a tight fit, but it works well.

The tent, as advertised, fully protects the contents from rain and sun -- though the interior can get quite hot on summer days. Once I secured it with the provided stakes on 3/4 sides and weighted it down with a bucket of leftover sand, the tent has proven quite stable. Note that the first night that I set it up I was only able to stake the front poles and didn't put anything substantial in it -- The next day the wind nearly knocked it down. Since then, I haven't had any difficulties.

There is enough flex in the supports to allow it to be compressed in width by at least 6-12" if necessary for tight spaces. In my case, I have it installed in a tight corner between my patio-deck and the side of the house. Two of the poles are secured just under my deck, and the others along my neighbors house. I was able to use the included stakes on 3/4 poles, but the last one happened to fall in the middle of a rock paver and couldn't be secured. Securing the back pieces was also a bit awkward, requiring me to partially detach the front supports so I could maneuver into the tight space to anchor the rare supports. I've also used a bike lock as a secondary support on the rare (unstaked) pole for extra stability during high winds, though that's likely not necessary now that I've placed a heavy bucket of leftover paver sand in that corner.

Assembly is not difficult, but can be tricky at first. A second person is essentially required, especially if you have limited space -- you need a lot of room to assemble it comfortably. Inserting the poles for the roof support was one of the more annoying parts of the assembly, with the instructions not being entirely helpful. It is critical that you do not let the pieces of the support lock into place before inserting the rods -- once you've shimmied them fully into position, it's easy enough to let them snap into a locked place. If you fully assemble the rod before inserting it, you will never be able to slide it past the bend in the middle.

Tip: Gluing an LED touch-light to the back or roof of the tent is a useful final touch to make it easier to find/store things at dusk.

So far so good, it fits 2 road bikes and my baby's stroller.
Keeps them dry from rain and snow
I have no backyard so I'm using it in the roof (my patio)
Used a couple of beams for base and it works great stay in windy weather and snow
