Lots of Carports for Lots of Needs

Carports come in enough sizes and configurations to accommodate most any need. Whether you need to cover a motorcycle or RV, or create a place for storing or working - carports to the rescue. They come as domes or with gabled roofs. They come in both metal and durable outdoor fabrics. There is also a wide price range. The point is that carports are a great option for temporary, or permanent, coverings for things you want to keep out of the weather, or protect from any other harm.

Portable carports are great. They are especially suited for people who know they aren't going to need a cover for a long time. If, for example, you are renting a place to live, having the ability to pack it up and take it with you when the time comes is perfect. Some of the better brands available are Jewett-Cameron and King Canopy. Both of these companies have excellent reputations for making outstanding products that are durable, compact, and add space and protection. Options include zippered doors, solid ends, commercial grade steel frames, quick assembly, robust polyethylene covers, and anchor kit options.

Metal carports are able to withstand a reasonable snow load and are more stable. They can be anchored to the ground securely, and can even be positioned and attached to a concrete foundation if you want. Companies who manufacture these types of carports, like VersaTube and Rhino, are some of the best on the market. They are simple to construct by anyone with average common sense, a few basic tools and the desire to do it. These carports also come in both single and double widths so accommodating your vehicle(s) is no problem.

I know it's sad, but every year in many parts of the country, motorcycles have to be stored away for the winter. Rhino makes a small cabana cycle shelter that you can pull your bike into and secure it for as long as needed. Another cool product they have is called the CycleEnclosure. It is like a mini garage for your bike. It is made out of 100% woven marine fabric and is made so it never touches the bike. No need to worry about scuffs and scratches. It is easy to assemble and can be carried with you on your bike. The frame assembly is made out of fiberglass poles and is easy to put up.

RV storage presents some unique considerations. RV's are tall, long, and expensive. Storing them offsite can be really expensive and somewhat inconvenient. Storing them at home is made possible with a domed poly recreational vehicle shelter by Jewett-Cameron. These have walls on both ends, and can be locked up. If you just want a cover over your RV then one of the steel carports made by Rhino might be just the right thing for you.

Carports are not just for covering vehicles. Sometimes they act more like canopies. In fact, you can buy carport canopies that are perfect for things like farmer's market stands, craft fairs and shows, fruit stands, family reunions, or any other use where basic protection from the sun and rain are needed.

Carports are great for both temporary and more permanent storage and protection for all sorts of things. Whether storing mowers, tools, cars, RVs, four-wheelers, boats, or whatever else you have, these structures give both home owners and renters a great storage solution.
