After the first winter I am very pleased with the Bike Barn. We had more than 11 feet of snow. I kept it brushed off but a couple of times I was away and the snow and ice built up to more than 6 inches deep I was amazed that it had not collapsed. It must have had well over 100 lbs. on it.
I clean my gravel drive with a plough on the P500. The plough is set a little above the surface to minimize damage. By the end of the season the drive was about 6 inches above the “floor” of the Bike Barn resulting in steep ramp to cross when leaving or parking. Next winter I will hand shovel an area in front of it to smooth out this transition.
The only drawback is the interior clearance. The front bar barely clears the hard top when I close it. The Bike Barn will not close when the plough is attached and snow drifted in reducing the clearance. If I put 26” tires on the P500 may not clear; if that is the case I will put pressure treated 4x4’s under it.
In summary it is a great product, not nearly as convenient as a garage but much better and easier than leaving it out or tarping it.
