Boat owners are well aware of the financial impact of providing off season storage for their watercraft. Rental companies and marinas don’t hesitate to charge a hefty price due to limited storage locations and space. Many boat owners are hesitant to construct a permanent wood or metal side garage on their property due to the permitting and property tax issues. After all, obtaining a building permit can take months and the cost can be substantial. In addition, if the property (and boat) owner decides to relocate, the boat storage garage is left behind.
Fabric garages are considered “temporary”
One of the most cost effective and advantageous methods for boat owners to store a boat on their own property is a fabric covered boat garage. These metal frame structures are typically considered “temporary buildings” which can potentially eliminated the need and time to obtain costly building permits. In addition, no prior construction experience is necessary for assembly. Smaller boat shelters require only common household tools for assembly. Portable fabric storage garages can be erected on any surface including concrete pads, gravel, dirt, asphalt, and even rocky soil.
Boat garage shapes
A variety of shapes are available including round (often called hoop) or peak (often called A-frame). Round garages are most optimal in regions where moisture is more prevalent. This is due to the shape which does not allow moisture to “puddle” on the roof top as quickly as the peak style. As a general rule, peak style units have more vertical sidewalls which allow for greater interior storage volume.
These structures should be given strong consideration for housing boats, watercraft, cars, truck, and trailers due to the many advantages over the conventional wood or metal building.
