Hi all. So, I think I'm in the Market for one of these contraptions for my driveway. I'd like to know some opinions on how the different options stack up to each other. So far, I find the cycle shell most visibly appealing, but I'm not sure about the toughness of the materials compared to other manufacturers. I basically need the thing to be really tough and not blow away of it's windy and empty. There is a member on here that sells (or used to sell) the Ride Inn, but it looks way bigger than it really needs to be. That said, if its a superior build that might be something to overlook. Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks.

I've seen the ride-in before it seems pretty well made. And they are based in Mississauga, which will help on shipping costs I assume.
 
Thanks. Well unfotunately the cycle shell is out. This is the email the guy sent me.Too much money and hassle. Its too bad because it seems to be the better of the 3.

Shipping to Canada is usually around $130-$170. You may also be charged a HST tax which is normally $40 Canadian. In addition, we ship through the freight company DB Schenker, and you would need to clear the shipment through customs and pick up at their location which is at the airport in Mississauga. I would email you a Commercial Invoice and a Certificate of Origin that you would need for customs

I bought the bike barn this fall .. assembly is a bit of a pain, and the whole thing needs to be weighed down in order not to be blown away by the wind.
I currently have mine weighed down using 2 cinder blocks but it still seems to move a bit.
