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.

6. How hot does the heater get?

The heater is a low wattage heater that's designed to remove damp or
moisture air rather than heat the inside of the Bike Barn. It raises
the temperature enough to create a convection up and out but will not
make the inside toasty warm.
