There was a post on here just last week ago talking about them. I do have a buddy thats got a biker barn and has had it for about a month. Looks pretty well built to me and he's very happy with it.

Mine just got here yesterday, Wife says I can't open it until Christmas though! The people that work there are excellent to deal with and went out of their way to answer any questions I had.

I use one for my bikes. Only problem I had was that it blew over in extreme winds in Germany. But I figured out what actually happened. The poles vibrated apart and then the canvas acted like a parachute and pulled the bike over. So I added sheet metal screws to each joint to make it more rigid.

I am now using the Cycle shelter tryke model (www.cycleshelter.com) for two bikes. This one comes with a floor and is doing well so far. I think I might have to add some weight to the corners to hold it down better. One thing that I do not like about the Cycle shelter is that when open it lays all the way down. The Bike Barn would stay up making it easier to close again.

I bought the bike barn from www.thebikebarn.net and the cycle shelter from www.cycleshelter.com.

I have had one for a year now and I am very pleased with it. I have the Touring Bike model that I use on my FLHT but it is long enough that I can also use it on my long chopper. It has gone through hail,rain and very strong winds with out any problems. I would recommend it 100%

T.T.
