Professional crew for Covermore tension fabric builds and container shelters — Oklahoma-based family manufacturer, ships across North America. Flat pricing by size, no brand surcharge, no cross-border surprises.
Covermore Shelters is a family-owned Oklahoma manufacturer founded in 2019, with over 1,500 buildings sold across all 50 US states and a growing share of Canadian buyers ordering direct or via their eBay store. Tension fabric buildings from 30'×40' through 50'×100'+, plus a container shelter line in 15oz or 30oz PVC. Solid product at competitive pricing. Cross-border buyers should plan for hardware-substitution checks and longer warranty turnaround. Flat install rate by size: $8,000 for a 30'×40', $8,000 for a 40'×80'.
Covermore Shelters is a family-owned company based in northeastern Oklahoma, founded in 2019. In a short time they've sold over 1,500 tension fabric buildings to customers in all 50 US states, and they ship to Canada — both direct from the website and through their established eBay store. The product is solid for the price point and the phone support during the buying process is responsive. Where Canadian buyers run into issues is post-sale: warranty claims and parts requests work US business hours, take longer than buying from an Albertan or Manitoban manufacturer, and assume you can ship parts back across the border if needed.
Every Covermore building ships kit-only. The manufacturer's own guidance is 2–3 days with 4–6 labourers for a typical install — that's realistic for the 15oz cover line on sizes 30-wide and under. We've installed every Covermore configuration that's come into Western Canada. Notes below come from real builds, not the brochure.
This is the spec that matters most on install day, and it's the spec Canadian buyers most often pick wrong on without realising it.
15oz PVC handles like a heavy tarp. Two crew members can move a folded panel. Tensioning is forgiving — small variations in ratchet pressure don't translate into visible distortion. Cold-weather installs are routine down to about -10°C, with care. Service life is 8–12 years in Prairie conditions if anchored and tensioned properly.
30oz PVC is a different animal. It's denser per square foot than most of the premium Canadian-made covers we install, including some 750g material. Three crew on a folded panel, minimum. The cover is unforgiving of sharp folds at temperatures below -10°C — the plasticizer goes rigid and the material can crack along a fold line if you don't unfold it patiently. Cover deploy slows down by 30–40% versus the 15oz spec. The trade-off is service life: 30oz outlasts 15oz by 3–6 years in identical conditions, sometimes more in heavy-snow regions.
We tension differently for each. 15oz gets ratchets every 4–5 feet along the eave with standard truss-line tension. 30oz gets ratchets every 3–4 feet, an extra eave-tension pass, and a 24-hour settle-and-retension visit on commercial sites. Plan accordingly.
Flat rate by size — same as every other brand. Common Covermore sizes:
| Size | Install price |
|---|---|
| 30'×40' | $8,000 |
| 30'×60' | $10,000 |
| 40'×60' | $12,000 |
| 40'×80' | $14,000 |
| 50'×100' | $17,000 |
| Container shelter (any size) | size-equivalent + ½ day |
30oz PVC builds add roughly half a day to mid-size projects (40-wide and up) because of the slower cover deploy. Equipment (manlifts on 40-wide and up, crane or telehandler for container shelters), travel beyond Alberta same-day, and crew lodging bill through at cost — no markup. The full install-cost guide walks through every size we install.
Covermore's own guidance — 2–3 days with 4–6 labourers — is honest for the 15oz cover line on sizes up to 30-wide. Where owner-installs get into trouble is on the 30oz cover or on 40-wide and above:
Our blog post on what to expect on install day covers the full site-prep checklist that applies to every brand we install.
Written by Peter Huynh, owner-operator at Max Contractors. We install every Covermore configuration shipped into Western Canada — direct or eBay, 15oz or 30oz, ground-mount or container shelter. Send us your size and site location. MaxCon has a commercial relationship with MAX Storage Buildings; this does not affect our pricing or which brands we install.

Same pricing applies regardless of brand. Find your size, that's your price.
A mid-size fabric building is realistically a 250–400 man-hour project for a first-time crew — frame, truss alignment, cover tensioning, doors, and the re-dos in between. That means pulling two or three of your people off operations for weeks, or having our crew hand you a finished building in days. At a loaded $40/hour, 300 diverted hours is roughly $12,000 of payroll producing zero revenue — before the rented manlift sits on the clock, and before another season passes with the kit still in the crate. Your team runs your operation. Ours stands up buildings. (Hours are crew estimates from the installs we've done; your mileage varies with size and site.)
Max Contractors is an independent installation company. We are not a dealer for, sponsored by, or affiliated with the manufacturers whose products we install — brand names are used only to identify the kits we work on. Where a commercial relationship exists, we disclose it.
Yes — every Covermore size, including the container shelter line, whether the kit came direct from the manufacturer or via their eBay store. Most of our Covermore work comes from buyers who ordered cross-border and didn't have a Canadian crew lined up. Same flat-rate pricing as every other brand we install.
Flat rate by size, not by brand. A 30'×40' Covermore runs $8,000 installed; a 40'×80' runs $14,000. Same prices we charge for every other brand at that footprint. Installation covers crew, frame assembly, fabric tensioning (different protocol for the 15oz and 30oz PVC options), doors, and anchoring. Equipment, travel beyond Alberta same-day, and crew lodging on multi-day builds bill through at cost.
On install day: a lot. The 15oz cover handles like a heavy tarp — two crew can move a folded panel, tensioning is forgiving, and cold-weather installs are routine down to about -10°C. The 30oz cover is a different animal: heavier per square foot than most premium Canadian-made covers we install, dense enough to crack if folded sharp at -10°C, and slow to deploy because the panels need careful handling. Service life trades off accordingly — 30oz outlasts 15oz by years if anchored and tensioned properly. We tension differently for each: 15oz gets ratchets every 4–5 feet, 30oz gets every 3–4 feet plus extra eave attention.
Three things, all manageable. First, freight — Covermore quotes shipping to most Canadian provinces but the freight cost is meaningful and the cross-border paperwork adds 2–4 days to lead time. Second, hardware substitutions — kits crossing the border sometimes get repacked, and we've seen Covermore orders arrive missing tension straps that the manifest claimed were included. Open the crate two days before crew day and inventory it. Third, post-sale warranty support requires more patience than buying from a Canadian manufacturer; the buildings are good but the support phone tree is set up for US time zones.
Covermore says 2–3 days with 4–6 labourers. That's accurate for the 15oz cover on sizes 30-wide and under. For 40-wide and up, or for any 30oz cover, plan a longer window and add a manlift to your equipment list. Container shelters are install-able by competent owner-builders on the 20- and 30-wide sizes provided you have crane or telehandler access. Above that, get a crew.
30'×40' runs 2 days; 30'×60' runs 2.5 days; 40'×60' runs 2.5–3 days; 40'×80' runs 3 days; 50'×100' runs 4 days. The 30oz PVC option adds roughly half a day to mid-size builds (40-wide and up) because of the slower cover deploy. Container shelter installs add half a day for positioning and twist-lock work.
