How can you offer these low prices combined with such low shipping? I’ve added up the numbers, and it almost seems too good to be true…
Our mission is to ALWAYS give our customers exactly what WE would hope to find in a seller – someone who REALLY cares about providing quality and value. And that is precisely what we have done with our decision to bring you the highest quality portable garage and shelter structures. And since we also have lower overhead than some other retailers, we truly are able to pass those savings on to you. We enjoy win-win situations!
What type of fabric is used in your Rhino brand portable garages and shelters?
MDM – Rhino Shelter 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.
What is so special about black scrim material?
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.
What colors do you offer?
For most of our Rhino portable garage and temporary shelter structures, we offer three attractive colors: green, gray, and tan to match your landscaping (some of our larger buildings are available in green and grey only). All three colors have a white interior which makes for a bright inside. Our greenhouses are a translucent white, and our party tents are white with attractive blue trim (and clear plastic windows).
What type of fabric is used in your Rhino hobby greenhouses and party tents?
Our backyard greenhouses and party tents use a strong, yet lightweight UV Protected Fabric 20 mil Backed Poly Material 8 0z. weight. As is the case with our portable garages, the main cover and doors are fire resistant, and meet California fire code CPAI -84 Section 5.
Are your products fire resistant?
MDM Products LLC’s fabric is flame-resistant and meets California fire code CPAI-84.
How are your portable garage frames made?
The tubing on our instant garages are high quality galvanized structural steel tubing that is designed not to rust. Our frames are also pre-drilled and are assembled with carriage bolts so that there are no power tools required during assembly. Our lighter weight party tents, greenhouses, and Metal/Steel carports use powder coated finish on an all steel frame. Our 1-car garages use a strong 1-5/8″ diameter tubing, and our 2-car and larger garages (including the RV Shelter) use an even stronger 2-3/8″ diameter tubing.
How long will it take for me to set up my Rhino brand portable garage?
Average installation time on the one car garage is 3-4 hours with two people the first time setting it up. Some of our larger buildings may take a longer (for example, a large, barn style building might take an afternoon or a little longer), while some of our smaller and lighter weight structures, such as our easy-to-assemble party tents or mini greenhouses may take a little less time. All of our temporary or portable shelters are ready to assemble, and all hardware is included. You will also receive a step-by-step assembly manual with your Rhino Shelter – as well as a toll-free number to call if you have technical or installation questions!
What kind of anchors do you use?
We use a cable hook anchoring system for our portable garages. Each anchor is 3 feet long and the cable is made of stainless steel. This prevents rusting. The anchor is 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. The party tents are anchored by stakes. The metal/steel carports use a stainless pin (see the description).
What kind of portable garage styles do you offer?
We offer two styles, house and round, depending on the style. Both styles are designed with heavy duty, galvanized steel frames to withstand snow and high winds.
Will I need to pay property tax on my portable garage or shelter?
Our portable shelters and garages are temporary structures, so you may not need to pay taxes. Of course it is prudent that you check with your local tax assessor’s office to be sure.
Which style is better for snow, House or Round?
Keep in mind that these buildings are not engineered, and we cannot offer or guarantee snow load or wind resistance figures. Customers have reported that the Round style seems to shed snow more easily; however, regardless of the style you choose, it is recommended that if you are experiencing very heavy snowfall that you knock the snow off occasionally from inside.
Does the House/Peak style give me more headroom than the Round style?
While the round and house/peak style instant garages are similar to each other as far as overall strength goes, because the house/peak style has straight sidewalls, there is a little more “work space” on the sides.
Will I need to pay property tax on my portable garage or shelter?
Our portable shelters and garages are temporary structures, so you may not need to pay taxes. Of course it is prudent that you check with your local tax assessor’s office to be sure.
Will I need a building permit to set up my Rhino portable garage?
Our portable shelters and garages are temporary structures. In many cases, a permit is not likely to be required, since the garages and shelters are not permanent structures, and they can be moved easily. However; there are certain instances – such as in certain residential associations (e.g. condominium associations) where such structures are not allowed. In addition, some municipalities require permission to set these up. Therefore, just as is the case with property taxes, we advise that you check your local regulations before you buy.
What forms of payment do you accept?

ABOUT MDM

MDM Products LLC is a family business. In 2001 we started planning our entry into the fast growing instant garage and portable building industry. One of our founding and family members was the first employee of the industry’s former largest manufacturer, and helped guide us through the initial hurdles. We began by distributing a competitive line of products in a small 5000 square foot building in order to experience both the Dealer’s and the general public’s needs and requirements. Since our beginning we have valued the customer, and took the high road to a first class product that would set the industry standard.
After less than one year we commissioned our first product to be manufactured under our own name. We took great care to select the design, materials, and the market offering to stand out above the crowded field. We chose items like galvanized frames, the heaviest practical PE fabrics, consumer friendly packaging, and other options that others had considered too expensive in this competitive marketplace. We have found just the opposite. By offering a complete building package, not an ‘ala carte’ product offering, our dealers and customers have come to appreciate the fact that MDM delivers value. We deliver complete buildings in good order and at a fair prices. Value to our customer is what our products and company are all about. From our first size and color instant garage in 2001, our product line has grown to over 32 complete building types, styles, and colors. We also offer numerous accessories and parts for all our products. In 2005 we established a strong central stocking location in our own building in Milford CT. We warehouse every product offered in our website and catalog.
