Carport Tents and Sheds for Outdoor Storage
A carport tent, or car shelter, is a budget-friendly alternative to adding a permanent garage or carport to your home. A carport tent can protect your car from the elements, and it’s a solution you can take with you if you move to a new home.
Another tent-based solution is a tent shed, which is a great option for adding outdoor storage space. You can use a tent shed to store and protect your outdoor tools, such as mowers, rakes and wheelbarrows. You can easily take down and move a tent shed if you choose.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the difference between a carport and a canopy?
A: Canopies are easy to break down and move, while carports are permanent structures. A carport typically has a steel frame and a hard roof, and it’s large enough to shelter one or more vehicles. A canopy can also shelter vehicles, but it’s typically made of waterproof fabric.
Q: What can you do with a carport?
A: If you don't need to use your carport as a car shelter, there are other creative ways to make the most of it. You can use your carport as an outdoor workshop or a shelter for parties. You might also want to enclose your carport and add doors to make it more like a garage or a shed.
Q: How can I stop my carport tent from blowing away?
A: Refer to your manufacturer’s instructions for the best advice on protecting your carport tent from the wind. In general, it’s a good idea to make sure to anchor the tent to the ground using bolts. Check to see that any fabric coverings are securely attached to the frame.
