This door is great and it fits my custom made shower perfectly. However, if you are using it for a custom situation, be aware that some of the dimensions are not correct. I notified the manufacturer but the contact person did not seem to comprehend the problem. Someone from engineering was supposed to contact me but did not. The errors are not significant if you are installing the door with the shower base for which it was designed. However, you could have a problem in a custom install. Simple trigonometry is all you need to correct the errors.

I have just completed the instalation of my 10'X20' Garage. I am very pleased with the product, purchased because a friend has had one for over 10 years and replaced the cover only once due to a branch falling through it during an ice storm.
I would like to offer one suggestion to buyers: go directly to Lowes and by 32, 31/2"X1/4" carriage bolts! The time you spend buying them will shorten your instalation time by 50%, as the 3" bolts that come with the unit give you only about 1/2 a thread to start the nut......this is nearly impossible if you are setting it up on anything but a perfectly level, hard surface as the parts will NOT go together tightly enough for you to get the nuts started. VERY FRUSTRATING!
This is not a permanent structure, and I don't have unrealistic expectations for it lasting too long, but if it lasts for 3 years I will have paid $8.00/month for three times as much storage place as renting a 8'X12' shed for $45-60/mo.
Watch the instalation video at the Shelter Logic website. It will help, but don't expect YOURS to go up that easily.
**Don't put the lower cross braces on early as directed in the instructions..it's a waste of time and has to be all taken apart again!

Tough and easy to assemble, the ShelterLogic 10-by-20-foot eight-leg Max AP canopy makes an ideal cover for your patio, vehicle, or special event. The Max AP canopy features a heavy-duty 1-3/8-inch all-steel frame bonded with a DuPont thermoset-baked-on, powder-coated finish. As a result, the frame won't chip, peel, rust, or corrode, helping the canopy hold up to heavy rains and freezing temperatures. The polyethylene cover, meanwhile, is also durable, with a triple-layer, chemically heat-bonded, enhanced-weave ripstop construction that's 100 percent waterproof. Need to stay dry when hosting a barbecue or storing your speedboat? The Max AP holds up beautifully. The canopy is even UV treated inside and out with fade blockers and anti-aging, anti-fungal agents, so it won't discolor or get moldy over time. The canopy comes with a one-piece fitted full valance cover, bungee cords, foot plates, and temporary spike anchors, along with an extension kit and enclosure kit. The extension kit lets you broaden the sides of the roof to hold even more people, while the enclosure kit turns your canopy into a garage-like structure.

Dreamline SHEN-12343410-01 Tetra Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure, Chrome Review

Dreamline SHEN-12343410-01 Tetra Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure, Chrome
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The enclosure looks great but the directions are not very helpful. The installation manual has drawings that are not very detailed. This enclosure requires a specific type of shower base that is special order. Just like in the picture. The types of shower bases that are sold in the home big box stores are designed to go against a wall on the right side so be sure to purchase that shower base first so it arrives on time.
This store has a 30 day return policy. It took me two months to get someone to install this product for me and they now have said that they cannot install it. I would avoid buying big items from this store. Their return policy is ridiculous. Like mentioned before, there are no shower trays available that fit this type of shower enclosure. The one in the picture has left hand drain. Most people have a center drain. Plumbersurplus knows nothing about their products. When I called to get a shower tray for this particular enclosure, no one had a clue what I was talking about. Avoid this product or better yet,, buy from a store with a better returns policy.

New Add On Shower for Clawfoot Tub includes Rectangular Shower Rod Review

New Add On Shower for Clawfoot Tub includes Rectangular Shower Rod
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was looking for a shower for my old tub. It's not a claw foot tub but it is the original cast iron tub in my circa 1930's home. I ordered it because it was one of the cheapest -- my first mistake. I ordered it despite the reviews stating that others buyers had issues with stripped heads -- my second mistake.
I took an afternoon to install it. The faucet was great. It installed very easily and works well. The installation of the faucet took about forty-five minutes. The shower riser took quite a bit longer because I was unable to get it installed to my satisfaction. It is very poor quality product. The shower rod is the same. Every single screw stripped. The shower riser constantly leaked. I even bought extra teflon tape because I didn't know that kit came with it and that did nothing. I think that there's a flaw in the riser and the threads are leaking because they're misaligned but I can't say for certain because I got so frustrated that I just gave up and took the riser and shower rod apart and put them away.The shower rod did not fit inside of the holder that went on the top part of the riser. It was also very poor quality metal.
I may attempt it another time but the shower rod is not usable. It's garbage and I'm frustrated with the waste of money. I also now have holes in my walls and ceiling that need to be patched because of my failed installation of the shower rod and riser. I did need the new faucet and I'm happy with that but I probably could have gotten the same quality faucet for a quarter of the price or an fancy faucet for the same price that I paid for the entire kit. All in all I would not recommend this product. It's probably one of those times where you need to go to the home improvement store and get your hands on it before you make the decision to buy so that you ultimately know exactly what you're getting.

ShelterLogic 10x20 1-3/8 8-Leg Canopy with Enclosure Kit (White)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is a very poor design. First of all the poles are only 1 3/8" as opposed to the 2" found on comparable products. Additionally, the poles are split into section which doesn't seem like a bad idea except that they fit so snug that they are almost impossible to separate. This goes for every connection on the frame. It was incredibly difficult to get it disassembled and a couple poles I could not disassemble at all. Not only that but the canopy is also cheap. It fits very loose and there are gaps at every edge. The side panels do not fit right and in some spots I had to use two ball bungees to make it work. I guess that's why they include an extra box of bungees. I do not recommend this product. Don't even think about buying this for Burning Man. [...]

ShelterLogic 10 x 20- Feet Canopy 2- Inch 4-Rib Frame, White Cover, Enclosure and Extension Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this nine days after ordering,taking advantage of free shipping with Amazon Prime.
It took me about four hours start to finish having help only for putting the canopy on the frame.
This included a trip to the hardware store to pick up 20 nuts and bolts to bolt it together.
There were pins provided for four connectiong points,but I felt that it would be better to bolt it at all the remaining 20 connecting points.Holes were already drilled,I don't know why the manufacturer would not include pins or bolts for all the connections.Cost for the nuts and bolts was 8.04
The sides are only 19'6" so there is a gap at each end and the sides are stretched very tight.So tight I'm afraid the grommets may rip out.I intend to cut a few inches off of length of the frame so the sides will fit properly.Manufacturer should add length to the sides in the future.
The anchors included are straight rods about 3/8 diameter.I don't know how effective they will be in a stiff wind,so I intend to order the anchoring kit from the same manufacturer.This should have been included as well instead of the straight rods.
Overall,I think it sucks that I have to buy extras and make modifications,but it still appears to be a decent product.
Update 11/19/10: I was right about the anchors not being adequate.I came home today finding the wind blowing 30mph+ and most of the stakes were pulled up.I was lucky that nothing was damaged.I staked it down with some extra tent stakes I have and am anxiously waiting for the anchor kit I ordered to arrived.
I cut off four inches in the length of three of the horizontal supports so now the sides fit properly.

Leviton 47605-42W SMC Structured Media Enclosure with Cover, 42-Inch, White Review

Leviton 47605-42W SMC Structured Media Enclosure with Cover, 42-Inch, White
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like most others have found in renovating an older home, the myriad of wiring in this house looked like a circus act gone bad. The timing could not have been better when given the opportunity to test the Leviton 47605 Media Box. Here are my thoughts.
Out of the box, I noticed immediately that this unit's interior is prime time 20 gauge steel. The screw mounted cover is 18 gauge steel. Weighing in at 17lbs its not one of those light weight knock offs by any means. It measures in at 29.32"H x 15.62"W x 3.68"D. I like the fact that it can be surface mounted or installed in a recessed cutout. I like the mounted tab feature. The tabs prevent the unit from falling through the studs during installation. There are multiple knockouts on both top and bottom for easy cable routing. The cutout in the base allows for mounting single and double J boxes and power modules.
As others know from working in older properties, installation is not going to be a one and done thing. Its all about location, location and location. Another is having the right tools for the job. The plastic punch down tool that comes with the box isn't going to make the job easier. Besides a drill or saw (depending on your choice of mounting) a wire stripper, plugs, punchdown tool, crimper and cable tester are needed. Once I found the spot, it easily installs with a nice clean fit into the drywall. Running Cat6 lines throughout an older home had its usual hiccups but in the end it was great to have one central organized point of distribution. After all is done, one thing is obvious. This unit is roomy.
If there was an improvement to made on the Leviton 47605 Media Box it would be to option for a hinged cover vice the screw mounted variety. Other then that Leviton is a name to remember when it comes to quality home and office installations. This box will last a lifetime.

CRL Chrome Tub Enclosure and Sliding Shower Door Pull Handle Review

CRL Chrome Tub Enclosure and Sliding Shower Door Pull Handle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I installed this handle on our shower door to make it easy to slide open from inside the shower. The existing pulls were meant to be accessed from the outside, but were very short (and hard to grip) on the inside so the doors to slide past each other.
This product is very sturdy and has a durable finish. Installation was a bit of a challenge to squeeze onto the door using the plastic gripper insert, but it stays in place once it's on. Later, I removed the pull and moved it to a lower position on the glass door. Now it looks like it was included as part of the door.
My only issue is that for such a simple piece of hardware it seems quite expensive. Since it does the job and should last a long time, I guess it's worth the price.

I ordered this unit to replace a Intermac unit I had installed 10 years ago. It finally gave up the ghost in the last storm we had and needed replacement. This unit had the specs I was looking for and was UL1449 compliant. I was a little surprised when I got it how heavy the box was..this unit comes in a heavy metal box and a single sheet of instructions. Inside the metal box is a plastic cube about 4"x 4". Instructions, one side minimal words, the other side a diagram.
The unit is not prewired like many of the other units. So challenge #1. What guage wire should you buy to run from the box to the electrical panel. Not stated anywhere in the instructions. After talking to a electrician --I went with #12 solid. It can take up to #8. Challenge #2 you need to ground the metal enclosure and your main electrical panel (or) in other words, use metal clad conduit between the two boxes. An alternative which is not very clearly stated in the instructions is you can run non-metalic conduit but you also need to connect the green wire in the Leviton thru the conduit to the main electrical panel by bolts. (I actually used a rigid metal connector to connect the boxes but use an offset one since the knock outs are off center.)
#3 is connecting to (2) 20 Amp circuit breakers in your electrical box. This box is for single phase houses (there is another model if you house is 3 phase). The 2 circuit breakers must be right next too each other at the top of the box on the same side. This is so you can cover both phases in your house A/B. To make it easier for you to understand, circuits 1, 5, 9, etc. and 2, 6, 10, etc. are "A" phase. Circuits 3, 7, 11, etc. and 4, 8, 12, etc. are "B" phase. You could select other 20 amp fuses but you need to make sure they are on the different phases A/B. (If your new to this, looking a breakers can be confusing since many houses have dual single pole, 30 amp, piggy back, etc. Your looking for 2 circuit breakers that are physically not joined together in a single unit. No cross switch connector, etc. You should also not install your whole house on a circuit that is in use by other equipment. They say this degrades the peformance. I have a neighbor who did but he claims since he didn't care about the stuff on the two circuits he piggybacked on, so it would work fine. Can't say this is true or not.
So if you have two open 20amp circuit breakers at the top of your panel on the same side, that are in a row, and your not using them --lucky you the rest is relatively easy. If not you ve got some work ahead of you. If you do, turn off your main circuit breaker on the panel. Remove the main panel cover. Mount the Leviton box (as close to the 20 amp circuit breakers as you can), make the grounded connection to the main panel (if metal conduit ignore this step), pull the 3 wires, connect 2 black hot (one in each breaker), 1 white ground strip. Close it up and your done.

This is one of the largest structured media centers, only surpassed by Channel Visions 52" model. It is nicely constructed and the pin-outs are compatible with industry standards. Although I wanted the largest panel I could get, I chose Leviton's brand because of the nice Power-Module (Leviton 47605-PSA) knockouts in the bottom, allowing me to flush-mount the power module within the panel. I installed 2 SMC's and ran conduit between them through all of the side knock-outs for multiple connections between panels.
