I have a Coleman UTV 400 and looking for something to store it in.  Preferably something vinyl or plastic with its own base that can stand alone outside and house the UTV.  I think the dimensions of the UT400 are around 106" long 52" wide and 74" tall. 

What should I consider that won't break the bank?

A tarp?  It will take a fairly large shed to have a big enough door and tall enough. Those tend to be pricey.

I guess, but would like to have something a bit more user friendly and less susceptible to critter invasion and destruction.

I've used what I think is the easiest solution: 2" PVC pipe and the connectors to create 4 legs and the top crossbars and then two tarps laid over 90 degrees from each other. It makes a great shelter and is cheap and easy plus it can be sim,ply taken down and stored for the Summer, if desired.

I like what you did, I did something similar to cover a pool one year.  Also saw this which is very close to the same concept, it's a complete kit, probably a little sturdier and also more expensive.

Yes, very much like that but very basic. No actual door, just lift one end of one tarp. The tarps came from Harbor Freight and were like less than 10 bucks each. The PVC came from Home Depot. Total cost for everything was less than 50 bucks.

Forget about keeping critters out, they will get into just about anything you erect for storage.

Harbor Freight's canopies are where you need to go.  By the time you fiddle around with tarps, pipes, and ways to secure the tarps,  why not just get the canopy that has a roll up door and room for your machine, and other stuff too.

10x10 is $179 

10x17 is $229.   

You probably spent somewhere around $8,000 to $9,000 for the UTV, buy something to keep the weather off of it.

I picked up a 10x17 just in case last weekend that was on sale for $179.

      Coleman UT400 shift issues , grinding .
      By Bryan g
      We see a lot of the UT400 with shift problems, not going into gear, popping out of gear, grinding etc. There  is a bulletin Im sure everyone has saw about adjusting shift cable.  That dont always fix it.  I went round n round with coleman  on couple units. We are a Coleman warranty repair center"AFS Small Engine Repair "   I told them shift lever does not have enough travel .  No amount of cable adjustment  will increase travel . I  extended lever with piece on flat  iron by 3/4 of inch .  This gave shifter enough travel to properly engage into gear completely .  Last couple units to come in for this Coleman sent me a modified shift lever, with longer travel . Problem solved! Also , heads up if you get any new unit ,,,go over and check it out,  grease  all zerks, check air filter for being in backwards, check wiring harnesses for rubbing on rotating parts,  brake hose  routing , make sure not touching exhaust .  These are just  few of the more common failures I see .

      2018 Coleman UT400 Trans keeps popping out of forward
      By dman66
      My buddy has a ut400 that the forward gear keeps popping out of gear. She only has like 400 miles on the odometer .the shift cable has been adjusted and the shift lever has been updated / modified. All other gears are good. Is there an internal detent cam or something that wears out or shift fork that can be replaced ? Or is there some other magic that I can perform ? Looks like the engine needs to be split.

      Coleman 400 cut out when hot under load ideas?
      By Homeowner A
      Have a Coleman UTV 400 that cranks, runs, drives well until it gets warm and is put under load.  Light throttle or full throttle it doesn't bog, but it will cut out mid throttle if you move the pedal quicker than it seems to like for example when you're getting ready to go up a hill, but if you immediately floor it, it will do just fine and not cut out.  It's random if and when it's going to do it, but is consistent in that it happens only when hot/full operating temperature.  I've replaced the injector twice, same with the spark plug and tried different heat ranges (NGK 7,8 and 8 iridium), replaced the fuel pump, adjusted the valves, checked air filter which is like new, changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter.  No check engine light.  I don't have a code reader for this.  Initially I thought it might have a head or head gasket issue as when I got it, the oil was over full, very runny like water milky and it was smoking.  I've changed the oil since then twice to clear and clean everything out, and it seems to be good.  Coolant stays the same level and so does oil with no changes in consistency or need for adding more. Had I think 7-9 miles when I got it and now has about 77.  What should I try or consider next?
