Cost Efficient Portable Carports

Car owners who take pride in their vehicles now have a cost efficient alternative method of outdoor storage. Wood and metal storage buildings carry a high price tag along with the usual procedure of obtaining a building permit. One of the most rapid growing outdoor storage alternatives for cars, trucks, boats, and equipment is the fabric covered portable carport.

Often referred to as portable carport garages, these metal frame structures provide superior protection in all weather environments. Some consumers may have some “question marks” regarding the durability of the fabric cover, however, many manufacturers produce units which have a life expectancy of up to 20 years. Cover material typically consists of polyethylene which is heat sealed at the seams to provide for leak resistance.

Carport cover thickness is crucial
Fabric covers are available in a variety of thicknesses and colors. Most manufacturers describe the material thickness in oz per yd2. In simplistic terms, this describes the weight of the material per square yard. As a general rule, more weight per square equates to increased longevity. This increased weight per square yard typically indicates a higher price. Consumers must be aware that thinner covers have a reduced longevity which can result in leaks or damage to the interior contents.

Portable nature is important
Portability is a important factor for fabric covered carport tents. These carport tent units can be assembled by consumers with little to no experience in construction using only common household tools. Unlike wood and metal structures, these units can be easily moved and relocated for future use. If you desire a cost efficient portable car shelter, fabric covered carports are an option for consideration.
