I regret purchasing the Vepagoo Gas Shock Struts. I used them for my outdoor bin enclosure, and all three pairs have failed—twice now. I initially installed them in the summer, and by winter, they had already started to fail. Now that winter has just started, all of them have completely stopped working again.Cons:Frequent Failures: I’ve had to replace these struts twice in less than a year, which is incredibly frustrating. They just don’t last.Not Weather-Resistant: The struts couldn’t handle the seasonal changes. After a few months, they started to lose their pressure and functionality.Inconsistent Quality: It’s disappointing that all three pairs have failed, indicating poor overall quality and durability.Overall, these struts just don’t perform as advertised. If you need reliable gas struts for an outdoor project, I would strongly suggest looking for a more durable brand. This product simply can’t withstand the elements and doesn’t hold up long-term.

Bought these for the lid of a custom garbage/recycling/compost bin shed. The lid is made of wood with PVC top and is fairly large (approx 4′ x 8′) so these longer (28″ 55lbs) struts were in order. I originally bought 20″ 100lbs and had to return them (too short and too strong).Do some research to see what length and lbs makes sense for your specific project.The instructions are a little confusing. In my opinion they’re not sufficiently helpful for someone who’s never done this before. There’s a general formula to follow, but you need to experiment a bit to get the sweet spot of it staying open and staying closed (without needing a latch). Who doesn’t like some fun math during a project, right? :)The hinge holes are fairly wide so make sure you buy larger gauge screws. I ended up needing to use washers for half of mine, but they worked out well.If you live in a cold climate, I can report that it’s the start of winter here (approx -10 Celcius) and the struts are working well so far. * Only mentioning this because, I replaced the struts on the trunk of my SUV and they don’t hold up in cold temperatures (different make/model and application of course). I may swap those out too.Good product so far (only had 1 week). I would recommend.

Ease of installation was fine, build quality, not so good, after installing a few weeks later, I noticed they started weakening with lift pressure, I cannot recommend this product.

These work great to hold up our RV mattress to get access to what is stored under our bed.Also easy to install.

The item was fine. Just not strong enough for my needs

These worked well on my GMC 1500. Its Heavy tonneau cover but these hold up no problem. We’ll built

Be prepared to modify the brackets if your using them on a truck canopy. They were ton large to mount tonthe glass bracket and the angles were wrong. Other wise they work great bit stronger than I really needed for the door.
David S. –
Very stout struts.
JJ & EJ –
Worked perfectly and nicely built. Seem heavy duty

They are performing as advertised. There used at a Sportsman Club for a new trap house to hold the roof up for getting the trap in and out.

The action is smooth and the extended length has a clear holding position. The brackets on this fit the rod connectors better than another purchase I tried (those were way too strong for my needs). I did weld an extra piece of steel to keep the movement of the lifts in line better. I am now able to lift and hold our RV short queen bed easily. The installation directions were fine, but you have to really figure the math out. It wasn’t so complicated, but needed to be adjusted to fit my particular installation.
