Nothing covered my entire bike...
Ordered my Bike Barn on a Sunday and received it the following Friday. We bought a new car and I needed a suitable solution for my cycle that offered full protection. I tried the largest covers I could find, but none covered my entire bike with the 16in ape hangers not to mention the windshield and bags. I tried in vain to fit it under a large normal cover with both the bags and windshield off but sill could not get my spoke rims more than half way under, and more often than not forgot to run back outside after allowing the bike to cool to wrestle with the cover for a half an hour.

That said I was thrilled when I came across the Bike Barn online. Now I am the first to admit that I am all thumbs when it comes to assembly and will always pay to opt for pre assembly or on site set up when available but Bike Barn offered neither and the testimonials do address ease of assembly. Long story short I got the Cruiser (Tourer) model Bike Barn in place and put together correctly in about 2 hours.

The Bike Barn looks great and offers plenty of room to store my bike from top to bottom, bags, windshield and all. Without a doubt I am going to buy the flooring and heater as well. I have attached some photos so you can check out the finished product.

I did it myself...
Just want to let you guys know my Tourer cover arrived a few weeks ago.
It shipped in 2 days like you promised and arrived quickly. I was in
such a hurry to get it together I did it myself without waiting for
help. I am proof positive that a fat out of shape middle age man can do
it by himself!!! It took exactly 2 hours 10 minutes, 4 beers and a
Hershey with almonds candy bar....but I did it. Also bear in mind there
were lots of breaks in those 2+ hours.

So far it has survived 50 MPH winds here on the Coast in New England
Love this product. Thanks for Everything!

Hi,
Just to let you know that I'm highly pleased with the Bike Barn (STANDARD) that I purchased recently. It's better than I expected and is installed on my Patio, so I haven' bothered to put any sort of flooring down. We've had a couple of thunderstorms this month, but no water got into the Barn, nor is there any condensation. The Barn is brilliant!

Cheers,

Dear Bike Barn people,
Greetings from the home of the world's greatest road races! I
ordered my Bike Barn last Friday (8 days ago), and it was delivered
Thursday (a day earlier than the UPS tracking promised). After a week
of good weather, today of course it was raining stair rods and blowing a
gale - the old cover had blown clean off the bike. I was able to
assemble the frame in my living room, and then lift it outside to put
the tent on. The whole exercise was accomplished in under two hours
despite the gusting wind, and it only took that long because I had to
redo a couple of bolts because I'm an idiot!

This is easily the most cost-effective bike shelter I have seen,
and if it will work in the wind and rain here (I live on top of a very
exposed hill near the sea) it will work anywhere. I will be
recommending the Bike Barn to everyone I know who keeps their bike
outside. Both your service and your product are outstanding - many
thanks

I should add that we had 80 mph winds here last night, and the
Bike barn didn't even move!

Keep up the great work!
Just thought I'd let you know that I posted an endorsement for you on
the Harley website. As you know I purchased my Bike Barn last year and
you've been using my photo on your testimonial section. One year later,
the bike barn is performing as new. All while sitting quietly several
hundred feet from the ocean. Chrome and paint look like they did the day
I brought it home. If you go to the address in the subject line and hit
on Product Reviews you will see my endorsement. Hope you get some
business from it. Keep up the great work and thanks for a quality
product.

WOW Incredible!
Wow what an incredible storage unit. It took me and my wife only 1 hour to put it together completely. All parts were included, nothing was missing and your instructions were 100% accurate. I built the unit on Wednesday night and the next day I picked up my new 2006 Yamaha Royal Star Tour Deluxe and drove it right into my new bike barn. Awesome, simply an awesome system.

I will tell my biker friends about the Bike Barn.

Full Coverage!
A police department in Texas wanted full coverage for their fleet of motorcycle cruisers, so they chose the Bike Barn for all of them. We're just happy to help protect those whose job it is to protect us!

I'm thrilled!
Just wanted to let you know that I'm thrilled with the quality of your product. It was easy to assemble in about 90 minutes.  I'm about 400 feet off the Atlantic Ocean and was concerned about the Northeast winds that howl through here. On the day after installation the winds reached 40 mph gusts and the Bike Barn stayed in place held only by the Dyna's front wheel on the anchor plate.  Thanks for a great product and Happy Holidays.

Double Vision
"We must like the Barn Bike, we have two of them. The Bike Barn is the
perfect solution for rural motorcycles. We don't have a garage but our
bikes do! Last winter we had 24 inches of snow and the Bike Barn held
up under the massive load."

Nice Job, guys
Just thought I'd drop you a follow-up note to let you know that my now
two-year old Bike Barn is still going strong. I live on a wind-swept
peninsula with a penchant for some truly spectacular weather. Through
rain, shine, drifts of snow that totally hid the cover from view, hordes
of lazy neighborhood cats who like nothing better than to sunbathe on
the roof of the cover, and near gale-force winds that have caused me to
lash the cover to my neighbor's fence just to keep it from blowing down
the street, your product has kept my 2001 Suzuki Bandit looking almost
as good as new.

Obviously, nothing replaces a nice, heated garage, but for those of us without this luxury, the Bike Barn really is the only way to go..

Bike Barn Saves Baby from Snow Storm!,
Worst storm since 1916! A line of storms hit here over the last
week leaving between 4 to 7 feet of snow on the valley floor and more in
the upper elevations (that is area we live in) ".

I have had the Bike Barn now for a full summer season with temps above
the 100* mark and now in the winter with more snow in a week than we
have seen in all the months combined for more than 20 years.

The bike a BMW K1200LT is doing just great the Bike Barn did the job. I
have two neighbors that bought the standard type covers about the same
time I received the Bike Barn both had their covers tear during the snow
allowing snow to pile up on all both bikes the Bike Barn did just what
it was designed to do protect the bike.

WOW!,
I just got my Touring Model Bike Barn last night (incidentally, the same
day I was hired for a new job AND I proposed to my girlfriend. Then I come
home and find a present waiting!). We're expecting our first snow showers of
the season this weekend, so I decided that today (Friday) was do or die. I
got started around 4:00 and finished around 5:30. A little longer than I
thought it would take, but I wasted a good 20 minutes looking for parts that I thought had been left out of the shipment. Then I realized I was an
idiot and they were right in front of me. So, after getting over my own
stupidity, I was able to complete assembly relatively easily.

It definitely helps
to have a second set of hands to help steady the steel tubes when you're
attaching them. I immediately put my FatBoy in when I finished. It fits
perfectly, even with the saddlebags and windshield. I'm thrilled!! I
used to have a standard bike cover than secures with bungee cords. We had a blustery day 2 weeks ago, and a 68MPH gust caught the cover like a parachute and tipped my bike over! Luckily, no serious damage. But, that is what lead me to this wonderful product. Less $$$ than 4 months of winter storage,plus I can use it year-round. This is the best investment I've made for my pride and joy. BUY ONE NOW!!

Hi Guys,
I just received my new Bike Barn and assembled it this past Saturday. I
was amazed at the quality of your product. I must admit, I was very
skeptical, and was prepared to try it with the intention of sending it
back if I didn't like it. Covers weren't good enough and I didn't feel
like spending $1000.00 on a shed and getting a permit to put it on my
property and finding a place to put the shed. I keep my Bike Barn
right in my driveway.

It only took me about 3 hours to assemble with my 2 year old daughter
helping me. I probably could have done it in half the time by myself but she likes to help me with stuff for my bike.

I Live in New Jersey and ride a 2003 Harley Davidson Superglide. I
moved to a house with no garage and wasn't going to pay storage fees for
the winter. I was using an outdoor motorcycle cover but it was a real
hassle fighting with it to put it on and worse yet waiting 2 hours for
the pipes to cool before putting the cover on.

Also, when I'm in a hurry to go to work in the morning I had to fight
with the cover then roll it up and throw it in the back of my truck and
when I get home I had to open my truck and take the cover off.

My Bike Barn is so easy, it's a real pleasure to use. It takes about 5
seconds to open it, roll my bike out and another 5 seconds to close it.
The greatest part is when I get home, I open the bike barn, ride my bike
into it, close it and I'm done. No waiting for the pipes to cool.

I run an extension cord from the back yard under my Bike Barn to keep my
battery tender plugged in and connected to my bike for the winter.

This is truly a fantastic product and a great invention. I just wish I
found out about this a year ago. I would highly recommend it and will
let the members in my motorcycle know about the product.

Thanks again for a great product!

UPDATE: March 25, 2002
Hah! I was taken home March 16th and given a new place to stay. It's not
as warm as the showroom, but it's my home. And after a nice, gentle ride
there, what does it do outside, but snow! I am snowbound and can't go
anywhere! It'll be a few more weeks till Tim can take me out and warm my
insides.

What a great product!
Attached are photos of my Bike Barn, which I purchased just one week before I bought my new Honda Shadow Aero 750. Putting the Barn together was actually a lot easier than I had imagined - maybe 45 minutes total assembly time. I had imagined that the steel tubing would be cheap tubing
of the type you see on Kmart barbeque grill legs and such, but that was obviously not the case - the tubing is much heavier gauge than I expected. As you can see from the photos, it fits my new cruiser just fine. I'm an everyday commuter and I ride year-round, averaging at least 6 days a week on the bike. The ease of just walking out to the patio and uncovering the bike is amazing! Especially considering that prior to buying the barn I stored my bike in a shed in the backyard, which meant running an obstacle course of trees and benches and such to get the bike to the shed. Now it's a cinch to just pull onto the patio and put her away for the night. I actually find I use the bike even more for quick errands and such because getting to it is
so much easier now. Just a quick flip up and I'm ready to go.

What a great product! I've recommended it to lots of my biker buds -
they're all impressed with the thing! The only downer is my dad, who is 78, keeps calling it my "horse barn." Well, they do call motorcycles "Iron Horses," so I guess he's not that far off!

Thank's for the bike barn.
I'm just emailing to say thanks for the bike barn and what an amazing product. I just received it on friday and assembled it with little grief on Saturday. Some of the tubes were a tight fit but that only means they won't come out. Everyone who see's this thing is just amazed and I always get the same reaction. "I've never seen anything like that before". And while some might think it to be a bit pricey in just two days I've justified the cost with the ease of operation and the convenience of not having to hang a tarp over a covered bike every time I get home. And the best part is if I get caught in a shower I can close the cover with all 5.5 foot of me on the bike and dry it off inside. So for any skeptics about ordering some gimmick product online this is the real deal and I'll be promoting this thing to death here is Nova Scotia.

Thanks again and here's some pics.

Hi Bike Barn:
Just wanted to send you a note to tell you how extremely pleased I am since receiving my new Bike Barn. It really is even better than I had hoped. I received it within 5 days of speaking to you, and it only took me about 1 1/2 hours and three bottles of beer to put it together. I was very impressed at how well the instructions explained the assembly, and I only needed a crescent wrench, hammer, ratchet, and a few sockets to put it together. You really get a good feel for the quality of the components supplied when you assemble your Bike Barn. My wife likes it because it looks good beside our house, and really isn't obtrusive in any way. I like it because I can come home after a ride and drive right into it, and not have to worry about waiting for the pipes of my bike to cool, or to fumble around with cumbersome tarps that can melt on the pipes. The size of the Bike Barn is perfect and even with the windshield on my Honda Shadow 750 ACE I have plenty of room to park the bike in it. The two side vents are awesome...they let the heat out very well and you can sure feel the heat coming out of them after a long ride. The Velcro on the vents flaps holds the vents open or closed really well. We have had a few rain storms since I built the Bike Barn, and the fabric has been completely waterproof, and thanks to the quality of the stitching my bike was completely dry after the skies had cleared. My neighbours think that my Bike Barn looks great and "hides" my bike very well from anyone "cruising" the neighbourhood looking to steal a bike. I have only received positive comments from my riding buddies who think that the concept of having a retractable cover that doesn't touch the bike very cool. I am completely satisfied not only with the quality of my Bike Barn, but also with the speed in which it was delivered and the way it was packaged for shipping. I am attaching some photos so you can share with other just how great the Bike Barn Really is.

Thanks very much,

On your website you ask for photos of our installation. I must say that
if someone like me, all thumbs and two left hands, can assemble the Bike Barn with no problem, anyone can do it.
Thanks for a great product.

Dear Bike Barn:
I received the standard model Bike Barn and -- after a couple of false starts -- had it set up within a couple of hours. My riding partner, who owns a CycleShell, was originally dismissive of your product, as the CycleShell comes assembled and apparently uses aluminum where your product uses galvanized. Yet by the time we were done with the assembly, he admitted that he preferred some of it's features over his CycleShell (such as the 2/3rd opening ability) and felt it offered good value for the money.

I'll certainly let you know how the Barn manages its first New England winter.

Many thanks,
