The Advantages of Carports

If your home has no garage, or if your garage is too small to store a vehicle, then you may be interested in installing a portable car garage, also known as a car shelter or carport. There are a number of advantages that carports can offer you that you may not have considered before. We’ve outlined a few of these below to help you make your decision.

1. Protects Your Vehicle From the Elements

Rain, wind, hail, and other harsh weather conditions can really do a number on your car or truck if it’s parked outside without shelter. If you want to avoid the costly repairs that a dent from hail can cause, storing your car under a carport is the best way to do it. With the additional protection of a car shelter, your vehicle will last longer, too.

2. Adds Convenience to Your Life

Your carport can also shield your car from the hot Texas sun, which can fade paint and plastics on your vehicle over time, and it ensures that your car won’t get too hot to enter during the summer months. No one likes trying to grip a burning-hot steering wheel or trying to sit on hot leather while wearing shorts!

Conversely, if it’s winter and there’s a lot of rain or snow, you probably don’t want to have to go in and out while bringing in groceries or other cargo. A carport will shelter you and your passengers from precipitation so you stay nice and dry.

3. Increases Property Values

Your carport can also increase the value of your home, which can be beneficial if you’re looking to sell your property someday. A car shelter of any kind is considered to be a great asset by potential home buyers.
