Now thats a slick setup; be good for winter storage inside a garage/shop as well; really keep the dust down.
Regards and such,

Those work really well for about 5-7 years depending on where you live.  I live in Colorado, pretty dry here, and a lot of direct sun so about 7 years was our limit.  We use them out back of the shop to store layaway bikes, or units we have assembled and are not ready to put out for sale, wind is particularly hard on them, but overall, they are a nice alternative to indoor shelter.  Get the Bike Barn brand, you won't regret it, they started that line of product and have the most research and developement money into the product and it lasts the longest and is the most versatile, functional and durable.  If you live in a wet area, like high humidity, you will not want to store it collapsed, it will mildew between the folds and eat away at the fabric., and they are particularly prone to wind damage, we use cinder blocks to hold them closed when not in use.

THAT TENT IS JUNK!!!!

Get a small enclosed trailer and just drive your bike inside and out whenever you want.
I got a NICE used enclosed trailer on craigslist for $800 [I KEEP MY DRIFTER INSIDE],
money in the bank, whenever I decide to sell the trailer, I'll always get my money back. ;)
My bike is out of the elements and secure inside the trailer.

Sky.Dive...

I've heard from folks who have used the tent deal with good results. I don't think its as durable as other options - when outdoors, but have no personal knowledge.

Have you actually used the thing?
