Fabric - MDM Products LLC's covers are made of a 10 oz industrial grade rip-stop poly that is ultra-violet ray treated on both sides to prevent sunlight from deteriorating the covers. These covers will last years in the sun. Rip-stop poly means if you were to get a tear in the cover, the rip will not continue. All of our covers contain a black scrim material between the colored exterior and white interior fabric. This black scrim material blocks UV by 100% which allows our covers to last seven to ten years ! Most portable buildings on the market do not have the black scrim material and only last three to five years. We also offer our covers in three attractive colors: green, gray, and tan to match your landscaping. All three colors have a white interior which makes for a bright inside. Only MDM Products LLC's fabric is flame-resistant and meets California fire code CPAI-84.

Many of our customers run heat inside their garages to keep warm while working in their portable workshop. Frames - MDM Products LLC uses only high quality galvanized structural steel tubing that is designed not to rust. Most other manufacturers powder coat their steel, which is basically a cheap way to cover black raw pipe and make it appear galvanized. Powder coating, once chipped or scratched, may rust within 24 to 48 hours. Our frames are also pre-drilled and are assembled with carriage bolts so that there are no power tools required during assembly. Average installation time on the one car garage is 2 hours with two people the first time setting it up. We make two styles, house and round. Both styles are designed with heavy duty, galvanized steel frames to withstand snow and high winds. Anchors - We use a cable hook anchoring system. Each anchor is 3 feet long and the cable is made of stainless steel. This prevents rusting. It's driven into the earth with a 3 foot long drive rod that fits into the head of the anchor. Each anchor has a 1200 pound pull out ratio. Other companies use augers that are only 6 inches long and they are very difficult to screw into the ground and may pull out easily.

MDM Products LLC Standard Options - Double zippers or triple zipper doors are standard front and back on all our buildings at no extra charge. Other companies only include one double zipper door and will charge you $60.00 extra for a door in the rear. We like our customers to have access from either end. This also allows cross ventilation. Door hold up kits front and back are also standard on basic one car garages. Doors can be easily rolled out of the way and fastened with bungee cords. Other companies will charge you $40.00 extra per door just to hold the door up. Colors are no extra charge because we want the shelter to match your landscaping or your house. Green ,gray, or tan are standard choices. Other companies will charge you 10% extra to change the material run. We think the colors should be your choice, not ours. Anchors are very important to us because we don't want your buildings to blow away. Once again this feature is standard in our kits. The cable hook anchors are designed to be used on asphalt or dirt. Other companies will charge $8.00 per cable hook anchor and $10.00 for the drive rod. Our 10 oz fabric cover is standard on all our buildings. Most companies use only 7oz or 8 oz and will only last 1 or 2 years. Other companies will charge 40 % more of the overall price to upgrade to 12 ounce
