When a large tree fell on Peter’s TMG 20x40 Dual Truss Shelter, the frame held strong—suffering only minor damage. After quick repairs and a new heavy-duty cover, the shelter was back to full strength, proving its durability in real-world conditions.
At TMG Industrial, we pride ourselves on building equipment and structures that can stand the test of time—and nature. But nothing validates that promise more than real customer experiences. Recently, Peter shared his story of installing a new cover on his TMG-DT2040-PRO 20 ft. x 40 ft. Dual Truss Storage Shelter and how it performed under extreme conditions.
Peter and his team recently replaced the cover on their dual-truss shelter. “It took six people and our tractor to get the new cover over the tubing — definitely heavier than the last one!” he told us.
The added weight isn’t just for show—the 17 oz PVC fabric on the PRO Series is designed to withstand harsh environments and provide long-term durability. While it required more hands for installation, Peter knew the sturdier material meant better protection for his equipment.
The real test of the shelter came when a large tree unexpectedly came down on it. Instead of catastrophic failure, the structure stood tall.
“We’re truly impressed with the strength of the dual-truss construction on the shelter frame. A large tree came down on it, and the only damage was two bent tubing pipes.”
This resilience demonstrates the engineering advantage of dual-truss framing. While a standard shelter might have collapsed, Peter’s TMG PRO Shelter absorbed the impact, sustaining only minor, easily replaceable damage.
After replacing the two bent pipes, Peter and his team were able to fit the new cover seamlessly. “The new cover fit perfectly,” he shared, emphasizing how straightforward the replacement process was.
The result? A shelter that looks brand new and continues to provide dependable coverage for his equipment and materials.
Peter also kindly shared before-and-after photos of his shelter—visual proof of its resilience and the reliability of TMG Industrial’s design. His story highlights what we promise every customer: products built for real-world challenges.
Whether it’s heavy snow, harsh winds, or even a fallen tree, the TMG-DT2040-PRO Dual Truss Shelter is engineered to keep your investments safe.
The TMG-DT2040-PRO 20 ft. x 40 ft. Dual Truss Storage Shelter is part of our PRO Series, featuring heavy-duty PVC fabric, dual-truss steel construction, and the durability customers like Peter count on every day.
