ShelterLogic Replacement Cover Kits: Your Questions Answered
If your ShelterLogic garage, shed, or carport has been standing strong for years, the frame is likely still in great shape—but the cover may be showing the effects of the elements.
When it comes time to refresh your structure, don't settle for a generic, "one-size-fits-all" aftermarket tarp. Choosing an authentic ShelterLogic replacement ensures your valuables stay protected by the same quality and engineering that came with your original structure.
Below, we answer the most common questions about finding and installing the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement kits that will bring your shelter back to life.
Why should I buy a genuine ShelterLogic kit instead over an aftermarket cover?
Not all covers are created equal. An aftermarket cover is often a "universal" fit, which means it will be loose in some areas and over-tensioned in others. Loose fabric flaps in the wind, leading to rapid wear and tear, while poor fitment can cause water to pool and collapse your frame.
Genuine ShelterLogic kits are engineered to the exact specifications of your specific frame. They provide a drum-tight fit, heat-welded seams for 100% waterproof protection, and UV treatment that generic brands simply don't offer.
How do I know which replacement cover kit fits my frame?
The most reliable way to find your match is to locate the reorder part number. Every ShelterLogic cover has a white identification tag sewn into the inside of the fabric (usually in one of the corners).
- Step 1: Find that number on your current cover.
- Step 2: Enter it into our website search bar.
- Step 3: The exact replacement kit for your model will appear.
What if the identification tag on my old cover is missing?
Don't worry—you can still find the right fit! You will need to measure your frame’s Width, Length, and Height, and identify your roof style:
- Peak: A traditional "A-frame" pointed roof.
- Round: A continuous curved "barn" or "house" shape.
- Barn: A gambrel-style roof with two different slopes.
If you have these measurements, our customer service team can help you identify the correct kit.
Can I upgrade my cover to a stronger material?
Yes! This is the best time to consider an upgrade. We offer three tiers of fabric to help you customize your protection based on your local weather:
- Standard (9 oz): The reliable original fabric.
- Heavy-Duty (14.5 oz): A significant upgrade in thickness with a 10-year prorated warranty.
- Ultra-Duty (21.5 oz): Our toughest PVC material, designed for harsh environments, featuring a 15-year prorated warranty.
Does the kit include everything I need?
Our replacement kits are designed to be a total refresh. Most kits include:
- The Main Cover
- A Double-Zippered Front Door
- A Solid Rear Panel
(Please check the specific product description for your SKU to confirm exact contents.)
Are ShelterLogic covers waterproof and UV-protected?
Absolutely. Unlike aftermarket alternatives, our covers are made of triple-layer, ripstop woven polyethylene. They are 100% waterproof and treated inside and out with UV inhibitors and anti-fungal agents. This prevents the fabric from fading or becoming brittle under the sun’s harsh rays.
Are ShelterLogic covers easy to install?
Absolutely. Because our kits are designed for the specific frame you already own, the installation is straightforward. Using our integrated rail-tensioning systems, most owners can have their new cover installed and tightened in under an hour, extending the life of their shelter for years to come.
