    last year in Feburary I ordered a replacement greenhouse cover for our 12x24 shelter logic greenhouse. We had used it about 10 years and the cover had started showing sights of wear and could not be trusted to last another season. The replacement came and one of the end walls lower s***ve started to fail soon after we started using it , It lasted the 3 month time period we have the greenhouse up but was not useable for another season. I called and Shelter logic and they sent an replacement end wall, we used the new one to build the portable greenhouse in March 2025. This showed the same problem as the last end wall. by May 3 the entire bottom tube had failed. they said that the replacement end wall does not have any warranty and we need to purchase a completely new cover for $499 plus shipping. Shelter logic has a quality control issue the old cover used 3 months a year lasted 10 year and the replacement end covers would not last out a single 3 month season. The Shelter Logic 12 X24 greenhouse has been erected in the same location for the entire time we have been using it.

    ** ***, 

    Thank you for reaching out. We're sorry to hear about your frustration and understand how disappointing it can be to experience issues with a product you've purchased. We'd like to clarify that the warranty coverage begins from the original date of purchase. While we have already sent out a replacement end panel to help resolve the issue, please note that the warranty does not reset or restart with the shipment of replacement parts. 

    Kindly note that customer satisfaction is important to us, but we need to be fair and consistent with all our customers regarding our Warranty policy. 

    That said, as a one-time courtesy, we'd be happy to offer you a 25% discount on a replacement cover-kit to help make this right. We truly value your business and appreciate your understanding.  If you'd like to proceed with the discounted replacement or have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out, we're here to help. 

    Best, 

    The ShelterLogic Team.

    I am rejecting this response because: The main 12x24 cover and the one end wall is  of your replacement kit are in good shape. The lasted cover and end walls lasted almost ten year  on the original greenhouse. Your  complete replacement kit  cost about $500 plus freight and all I need is the one end wall. It will be cheaper for me to take  the defective end wall to a local tent manufacture for them to do the repairs. You have a quality control problem with your replacement kit.

    Sincerely,

    *** *** ** ******

    Dear ***, 

    Thank you for your response. We’re truly sorry to hear that you’re disappointed, and we understand how frustrating this situation must be.

    Please know that we strive to be fair and consistent with all of our customers when it comes to our warranty policy. As mentioned previously, the warranty begins from the original date of purchase and does not reset with the shipment of replacement parts. We’ve already provided a replacement end panel under warranty, and unfortunately, we are unable to send an additional one.

    We genuinely appreciate your understanding and can extend our offer to a 30% discount off on a replacement cover-kit remains available as a courtesy should you wish to move forward.
    If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re here to help.

    Best,

    The ShelterLogic Team.

    I purchased a shelter logic garage in a box in October of 2024 I was taken back by the claims the company made regarding the quality of this product it was very poor quality I assembled the product according to the instructions and parked my **** and a golf cart inside approximately three weeks later I discovered the top portion of the cover had been blown off from winds on the night prior I tried to reach out to shelter logic for a replacement cover I was told in a message on my email I was not entitled to a replacement due to there limited warranty that only applies to the metal skeleton structure having the snow load and the wind rating (90mph) on it not the cover which is extremely deceptive if you shop and view these items on line I paid over $570.00 dollars for an item that lasted three weeks the thing I’m most upset about other than loosing a substantial amount of hard earned money is how shelter logic misrepresents its products as well made high quality products and there just selling inferior products from ***** the durability claims are false and a joke I need some help I need some resolution I need some help to file a small claims case

    Hello ***,

    Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry to hear about your experience with your shelter. Your experience is certainly not the standard we strive for, and we apologize that you had to go through so much inconvenience. As a courtesy, we will replace the tarp to your Garage-in-a-box SUV Peak 13x20x12 Shelter. The replacement cover-kit will be shipped out in the next 2 to 3 business days. Please do note that the Garage-in-a-box SUV Peak 13x20x12 Shelter is not Live load rated, and it is classified as a temporary shelter as its not rated for wind or snow. We recommend that all our shelters be securely anchored on all footplates. In most cases, additional permanent 30” auger anchors are recommended, or one must acquire anchors suitable to the terrain; we advise one anchor per leg. Lastly, we also advise consumers to immediately remove any accumulated snow off the structure. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this in more detail, please feel free to contact us at ###-###-####.


    The new order number is ******* and the replacement cover will be shipped to the same address listed on the copy of the receipt.

    Again, we do apologize for the inconvenience.

    I ordered a 16' wide, 16' tall, by 36' long RV canopy. When I got the cross pieces together, they measured 14' wide. I was told by customer service to just "pull them apart" to make it 16'. Even the "instructions" said it was 14' wide. Today, I finally got it put together, and it's 14' wide. "Pulling (the pieces) apart" made it so the fabric wouldn't fit. It was very difficult to get all the holes to line up, difficult to get the covers on and in place, and telling me to just "stretch the ribs apart" is just asinine. Also, the "instructions" were not very helpful either. Just pictures, no words? Some explanations would have been very helpful. Lastly, I didn't get all the pieces needed to finish it, so I was delayed by another 10 days waiting for them to arrive.

    So, now I'm stuck with the wrong sized canopy that's finally up, it took me 3 times as long to get it up, I spent a small fortune getting a crew to help me with it, and I'm not really sure about the quality of the materials or engineering of it. To say I'm very frustrated would be an understatement!

    9 months after I finally got it up, the canopy fabric is leaking! It has been raining (not a downpour or anything), and I went out to work in the canopy. Everything was soaked! The ground, my truck, all my tools, my electronics, the outlets and lights I installed, everything! After all the trouble and hassle I had just getting it put up in the first place, and now this! I have no idea what I’m going to do now, besides put a tarp over as much as I can. I spent thousands of dollars for this! I’m just really mad now!

    This was a horrible experience, from beginning until now, and I'm certainly DO NOT recommend this product, or company, to anyone!

    I received a gift on or around Christmas of 2023 of a set of two beach chairs labeled "***** ******." In July of 2024 I was using one of the chairs for the second time when it broke beyond repair. I contacted ***** ****** customer service on 7.29.24 and asked if I had any options to replace. I was advised that they do not manufacture this style chair and was told to contact the manufacturer directly. When I contacted the manufacturer on 7.29.24 I was told that there was a one year warranty on the chair but I had to be the purchaser. I was told I had no other options. I advised them that I would be reporting them for false advertising. I want my chair replaced with one of a higher quality. I want them to change their policy to make it easier for non-customers to make complaints about faulty products. If they cannot meet the standards of "***** ******" brand then they should no longer manufacture this product.

    This is the second *** backpack lounger that I have bought and it has ripped on the seam to where it can not be used. I almost hurt myself this time when my leg fell through and took some skin. I would like a replacement or a refund of a total of $140 US dollars for both of them due to faulty workman ship. I am not even 200 pounds soaking wet so I know it was not a weight issue. Neither one of them were a year old (didn't make it half way through the summer).

    Paid over $300 for a 10x20 party tent from this company. After setting it up the night before our event and going to bed we woke up in the morning with the structure completely collapsed from light rain. In the set up and safety instructions it states that it is intended to provide temporary shelter and gives examples of elements including light rain. I submitted a warranty claim which was denied due to acts of nature and the product is known for having water pooling problems. I advised if they knew the product is known to have this problem with something they state it can be used as temporary shelter from then its not an act of nature its faulty design and craftsmanship and should be covered under warranty. I was not asking for the hundreds of dollars in things destroyed be refunded just a replacement product. I was advised that my claim was denied, After customer service lied about the fine print in my safety and set up instructions and then admitted they knew about this issue so i stand firm this more than acceptable . At this point I would like to be refunded the $338.47 as i do not want a replacement product from a company who treats their customers this way.. My request for a replacement product to be provided was a reasonable way to resolve the issue and regain my trust as a consumer but at this point they have shown they can not be reasonable and am expecting a full refund.

    We purchased a ***** Gazebo from the org. Owner. The polycarbonate roof sheets were damaged by hail. We tried multiple times to reach the company Via the number provided, Chat Now and through their Company website online Form for replacements but no response. Call the number or click on their "chat now" and get a response that someone will contact you in 24hrs. It's been 3+ months. Fill out the online form and submit and no one in the company even bothered to respond. We weren't asking for Anything free we just wanted to BUY replacement panels. This company clearly do not seem to care about their customers or future Potential customers. We will never recommend them.

    We bought the tent but were not told we needed a door kit as the previous tent came with it. We called to place the order to replace a previous tent as the roof of the tent ripped off and not under warranty which was understandable. when my husband put the tent up to reach the top is about 8 feet tall and can not reach it. when he called he was told it was 7 feet tall and could buy a door kit. the representative who sold us the tent should have told us it did not come with a door kit.

    Hello *****, 

    Thank you for your response. We were able to locate your order. Yes, the Shed-in-a-Box® 8 ft. x 8 ft. x 8 ft. Gray. Model #: ***** does not come with a roll up door kit, as only certain shed-in-a-box models sold through third party retailers include that accessory. Most cases, that accessory is sold separately as it's optional. The shed-in-a-box comes with a unique feature that incorporates grommets/eyelets that only come on the standard cover-kit. The front door can be rolled up manually and tied up with bungee cords through the eyelets. We understand the shed has a door height opening of 6'11" where the door can be rolled up to and the overall peak height of the exterior shed-in-a-box is 8'ft. Most consumers utilize bungee cords to keep the door open. We do apologize for the confusion this may have caused. As a one-time courtesy, we will be shipping you out a roll-up door kit accessory for the inconvenience as a price adjustment is not possible. 

    The order has been placed. The order number is #*******. (This order will ship to the same address on file). 

    Again, we do apologize for the inconvenience.

    We purchased a shed from *********. The shed is of very low quality. Every time we have a normal rainstorm the shed falls over or twists, bends, breaks, tears, etc. We have attempted to secure it to the concrete which did not help and now the only thing holding it up is it being strapped to our lawnmower making us unable to use our lawnmower for fear the shed will fall over. ***** employees helped me get in touch with the company advising that there was a warranty that should cover normal damage of the shed. The first person I spoke to at the company refused to help me and told me I had to call ***** back to get any help. I then had to call back telling and that person told me the only thing the warranty covered was rust. When I told them ***** informed me of the warranty policies to cover normal damage only then did they agree to work with me. I provided pictures per their requests it took them weeks to get me in touch with the warranty department only for them to tell me that the shed is basically not rated to handle any type of weather and the best they can do is offer a discount to buy replacement parts which given the warranty and the quality we feel is not acceptable as we will be buying replacement parts the rest of the time we have the shed. We are now having to purchase our own materials to build a new shed.

    Hello *********,

    We are very sorry you feel this way! Please know that our warranty department does work hard to treat every claim fairly and consistently, which is why they did not approve your claim due to it being an (Act of Nature) and acts of nature are not cover under the manufacturer's warranty. Please understand that we cannot provide a refund for products purchased through third parties (retail stores) because we have not collected any funds directly. Lastly, we do offer live load rated shelters that are more suitable for your specific needs. For assistance in your search, please feel free to call us on ###-###-####.
