Ikuby Retractable Carport – Foldable Lockable Car Shelter, Heavy Duty All Weather Portable Garage for Cars and SUVs

This is my 2nd Ikuby Carport system. The first one I bought more than a year ago and as you can see in the photo, it held up well. I love that it doesn’t touch your car and it protects it from the sun, rain, pollen, tree saps and dust. It has two screened windows on each side which allows air to circulate on those hot days but can be closed on those rainy days (I always keep them open). You can easily open the carport from either front or back or both (so you can easily pass through it if needed). If you need to lock it you can use the provided lock mounts but you need to drill them to the ground. It is easy to install, one can do it but it helps a lot when there are two of you as the frame is pretty big. Don’t forget to anchor it to the ground (hardware is provided but you will need a masonry drill bit and a drill if you are anchoring it to a concrete driveway), my first one went through some really heavy winds and it survived them ok. I bought the medium size first and it can easily fit large cars and crossovers easily. But for my second one I purchased the Large one and it is so big that there are lots of extra space in front and back of my car. I think this is the best solution out there right now to protect your car from the elements when a permanent structure is not possible. It is portable, removable and light. I obviously would recommend it as I bought my 2nd one. Issues? The first one I bought did not have any issues during assembly, the 2nd one there are a couple of holes that did not line up but nothing that a drill did not fix. Also after a year outside, you start to see some molds develop on the inside part of the car port as expected on anything that is exposed to moisture outside so you just clean it with some mold spray and that takes care of it. Other than those it really just do what it’s supposed to. It is a great product, it is not cheap but I think it is worth it.

Very happy with this carport. I bought the medium size and it fits my Porsche Cayenne Coupe perfectly with room to comfortably open the door. The quality is better than I expected, the frame feels solid, and the cover material is thick and durable. Installation was fairly straightforward. It definitely goes faster with two people, but the instructions were easy enough to follow. Once assembled, the folding mechanism works well and makes accessing the car convenient. Overall, it’s an excellent solution if you need to protect your car from sun, rain, snow, dust, bird droppings, and other outdoor elements without building a permanent structure. For the price, I think it’s a great value and I’d definitely recommend it.

UPDATED REVIEW: Took this from 3 stars to 4. We've had the cover for about two and half years now. Ikuby actually reached out in regards to our complaints of not being waterproof and offered us to try their new version of the canvas cover, so full disclosure there. We haven't had any rain since receiving but will update again about that when we have a chance. We were actually wanting to replace the cover after about 2 years so the timing was great. After 2 years it had started tearing at the corner we open and close from. Then one really bad windstorm finally split the canvas pretty bad down the middle. Longer life would've been nice, but I can understand in the brutal sun and recently finding out my wife lets gravity close the cover at full speed. On the new cover we also added pool noodle pieces on that corner, and my wife now closes it gently. We'll see how it holds up, I'll update again for that. My original concerns about the strength of the frame have been laid to rest, it has been fine, both for strength and rust. I have had to re-tighten several nuts and bolts since you can't torque them down, I would recommend some loctite during initial construction. ORIGINAL REVIEW Man, what a great idea that could benefit from just a little refinement. If these problems were fixed I would gladly have paid another $100 for this shelter. I would say the ideal use case for this is a newer/nicer occasionally driven car you want to keep protected from 'most' hazards: sun, wind, hail, dust, sap, falling tree nuts/seeds; it is not reliably waterproof. We use it for a daily driver and it's not horrible, but it's definitely a tighter fit getting in/out than you're probably used to, especially if you park a little closer to the 'wall' occasionally. The 'powder coating' (I'm not convinced it's not just paint) will come off anywhere two pieces attach during assembly, even if you're extra careful aligning, tightening the hardware will take some paint. Speaking of tightening hardware, all the metal on this should be at least 1 gauge bigger for peace of mind regarding strength. Otherwise assembly isn't too difficult. If you have a nicer driveway you don't want to get rusted up, I would advise not using the supplied concrete anchors as the zinc coating doesn't look reliable, I bought some stainless drop in anchors, which also allow for the hole to be easily filled if we remove the cover. As for protection, our primary goal was protection from UV, and our neighbors 50 foot palm tree that periodically throughout the year will drop heavy seeds and sap, this cover is great for that. It has also held up to some pretty decent wind the last couple of months. Rain however finds it way through, sometimes, if that's a deal breaker for you don't buy this product. Not a problem for a daily driver, but definitely for nicer or semi collectable car owners. We are in southern California so it's not really an issue that a car wash doesn't fix after the storm passes. We also hooked a bungee cord onto the center support which holds onto the open end of the cover, this keeps it from blowing shut while gone, or worst case while halfway pulling in/out. A couple of pool noodles around the vertical frame also helps to mitigate potential damage from opening your door a little too far, very helpful for our daily use.

I’ve been using the Ikuby Weatherproof Car Shelter, and it’s exceeded all my expectations! If you’re looking for a reliable, durable solution to protect your vehicle, this is the one. Key Highlights: Exceptional Durability: This shelter holds up impressively well in windy conditions. The sturdy steel frame and durable fabric feel built to last and provide excellent protection against the elements. Ease of Setup: While setup can technically be done solo, having a second set of hands makes the process much smoother and quicker. Everything is well-labeled, and the instructions are straightforward. Mounting on Concrete: If you're installing this on a concrete surface, be sure to use a decent drill to secure the provided anchors properly. Once anchored, it feels incredibly secure. Customer Support: The customer service team is outstanding—responsive, helpful, and quick to address any questions or concerns. Additional Thoughts: I don’t have a garage, so this shelter is a fantastic alternative. It provides a safe, enclosed space to protect my vehicle from harsh weather while giving me peace of mind. I even mounted a security camera inside the Ikuby for added security. I highly recommend this product for anyone needing an extra protected space for their car or other belongings. It’s an excellent investment for the price and quality!

1st excellent customer service. When I first placed the order, the company emailed me to confirm I was buying the right size. Turns out I was not, and they were so helpful to make sure I got exactly what I needed. It’s been one year and the car cover is still working excellent. We live in south central Texas. Heat, hail, floods, humidity, snow, we get it all. So far the cover has held up great. It stores my fathers Porsche Carrera but also he has used it for my moms Lexus suv.

As far as the product it is a nice design. I haven't had a good rain storm yet to judge the "waterproof" claim but I'll update my review after that happens. It is a great concept I will see how the materials stand up to "New England" weather. For right now it is great to put the car away after a good "detailing session" and know that when I take it out again the car will be as clean as when I put it away. Customer service is second to none! I lost a part that I know I had when I unpacked everything. I believe I accidentaly threw it out with the empty boxes. Edward from customer service was very nice and has shipped out a replacement part free of charge! I did add some pipe insulation to the bottom of the carport to protect it from the driveway and a few pieces inside so when I open the car door it won't hit one of the pipes. I don't have a garage so its nice to have a place to protect my 2015 Miata! Update after several rainstorms. I found that the original top I have is not 100% waterproof but is so close to being 100% waterproof that I would still recommend it to someone who needed a storage area for their car. I will explain: After a few rainstorms some water, a tiny amount, did get though the top. It was such a small amount that I’d compare it to a four or five “eyedropper” fills of rainwater if you can imagine just how little an eyedropper would hold. I was still disappointed because I was hoping for a 100% waterproof top. I talked to Edward at customer service, and he was extremely helpful. I wish every company I had to deal with was as good as he was. He said that sometimes under certain conditions the sewn seams can be stretched and that can cause a small amount of water to get through. He said that they take this very seriously and that they would make things right and they did. Edward sent me a new top! I decided that since the original top was already so close to being 100% waterproof that I would work with it and see if I could get it 100% waterproof on my own. So, I added some rubberized “roof tape” that is self-sticking and white in color and applied that to the seams where the Velcro is sewn in. The next rainstorm, which wasn’t that heavy came through and the next day there was ZERO water on my car. I will note now that I keep a conventional car cover on the car when it is inside the carport for an extra layer of protection so throughout all my “testing” my car has never actually been touched by water. A week later the next rainstorm came through our area, it was very heavy, within less than an hour we had almost an inch of rain. It was coming down like a tropical storm. I checked the inside of the carport and this time a tiny, I’m talking tiny amount of rain came through, less than the first time. So my roof tape helped a little bit. Next, I applied a waterproofing liquid to the outside of the carport. I concentrated on just the areas around the Velcro where I applied the roof tape. After another very heavy rain even less drops of rain got through. I plan now on coating the entire exterior with this “marine” based product. Can’t say the name here but you can buy it on Amazon. I think that I will succeed in making the original top completely 100% waterproof. The top that Edward sent me will stay in the box till springtime. I’m in Massachusetts and our winters can be very severe. I want to stick with the original top and see how it survives a New England winter. I will have the new cover as a “back up” for next spring if needed. I would recommend this product, when you consider the price even with the tiny amount of water that originally got through it is still worth the price. My new “spare” top may already be 100% waterproof without all my extra efforts that I am trying on the original. And the simple fact that Edward sent me out a new top show that you can’t beat their customer service. Still 5 Stars!

Very impressed with this carport. I purchased it through Amazon, and it arrived on time with everything needed for assembly. The instructions were clear, and two people were able to put it together without much difficulty. It looks great, provides excellent coverage.

Right, so carport will do the job, however few things you should know. first, the materials here are ok quality but is there $1,000 worth of material, heck no, your paying for the design. What your not getting is clear instructions which will lead to confusion. I got 3 boxes, one of which had no instructions or packing slip, boxes two and three contained similar looking parts and you have to look closely to see they are not same parts. however both these boxes contain the same packing slip/instructions. Which brings me to they should spend a few hundred dollars and pay someone to create clear instructions. All in all, its ok, Time will tell if will hold up against wind and sun. took one star off for poor instructions and packing slip which caused me a delay in assembly. Took another star off cause its over priced with poor instructions and packing slip.

A really sturdy product and great for covering vehicles during all weather. Het to experience and high winds but its anchored down so should prove effective. Quite difficult to install as 1 person and recommend 2 people.

It worked well until a heavy Canadian winter took it's toll on it. A few heavy snow loads and the tubes that support the tent bent. The canvass also ripped in a few places. A quick repair has it standing again, but it's days are numbered.

I've had terrible winds but it stays put. Put rubber Matt's down inside otherwise the damp rises and it getsdamp inside. Bone dry if u use mats. Amazing product

The design of the frame works well however the quality of the cover is poor .It has leaked from the seams from the start during heavier rain showers . The material is starting to stiffen and it's not even a year old ! I have a waterproof cover on my car when its inside the structure . Will be contacting the manufacture shortly . I contacted the manufacture and got a quick response from Edward. About 10 days after that I received a new upgraded cover shipped at their expense .Visually it looks identical to what I currently have but they claim its a better material with improved water proofing . Very impressed with their quick response and resolution to my complaint . I will update this after a I see how it performs . First Update I have to say that the customer service and support have been excellent . The second cover Is a lot better than the first , still leaks a bit along the seams but a lot less than before . For those of you in the snow belt my experience has been it will tolerate overnight about 18 cms of dry snow and about 10 cms of wet snow ,not simultaneously though . However I always sweep it off the next morning otherwise if it freezes you will have problems . They have sent me another cover to try and it seems to be quite a bit heavier than the previous model with handy Velcro opens on the bottom hoop to make assembly easier .Its been sunny and dry since Installed it so no real feedback yet . One of the reasons I choose this structure is that it opens on both ends . This is great if you have it in front of garage like I do and still want to move cars in and out . One suggestion is if you have all the hoops bunched up in the middle ,secure them to each other with bungee cord . This will stop them from falling down if theres a sudden wind gust .

Very sturdy construction. Very easy to assemble. NOT waterproof, leaks at th seems that connect it to the frame. I have had to use a ent waterproofing agent on the material and silicone on the seems. Also prone to condensation even with the vents open.
