My Bike Barn Handled 24" of snow and wind gusts up to 48 mph over the past several days. Very pleased. Spyder is safe and sound!http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=123142&stc=1

Thanks for the update. Many times we see these items advertised and wonder how well they will really stand up to the elements. This should help others looking for a way to protect their Spyders. Do you have any pics of all the snow?

That's good news, I remember a few years back that someone else wasn't quite so lucky and their "barn" collapsed on their Spyder.

We had our share of the "WHITE FUNGUS" snow last year.

I have a cousin in the Washington D.C. area she/and her significant other were hunkered down and waiting for the "Blizzard" to be over. As of last night they had 18 inches of the "White Fungus" Snow @ 9:00, with on another 20 inches before the "Blizzard" was over.

I was considering the bike barn but opted for a full cover as someone said the bike barn wouldn't handle snow load. Well the full cover couldn't handle the blizzard winds. The good thing was the replacement antenna held on to the cover so I wasn't chasing it all over the neighborhoodhttp://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=123465&stc=1.
