Using this shelter as intended would take a lot of space that we don't have in our back yard. I knew that when buying it and as it is not expensive, I wondered if I could adapt it as a canopy to cover two wall mounted cycle stands. I know the manufacturer cannot guarantee it for the adapted use, but I am pleased with the solution. I screwed half the base to the wall, trimmed the cover material and secured it to one outer hoop with cable ties, adding some thin wood strips to prevent the material ponding. It has survived several storms. The remainder of the strong material provides a cover for another bike, and the spare hoops are going to provide a good frame for nets to cover my fruit bushes!
