Portable Carports: The Solution for Temporary or Permanent Vehicle Protection

This is where a portable carport can come in handy. Crafted to the rough specifications of your car, these carports are portable enough to move wherever you need them to be but are permanent enough to provide a solid storage solution for your vehicle in the long term.

Save Money with a Budget Carport instead of a fully Portable Carport 

A Portable Carport has a few great advantages but unfortunately they can not be permanant. For the sake of another couple of hours of work, many customers would be much better off buying the semi-permanent Budget Carports. The Budget carport range is half the price of a portable carport and doesn’t take much longer to install.  

Portable Carports are More Affordable Than a Garage

Buying a home with a garage—or adding a garage to your existing home—can be quite expensive. However, using a transportable carport structure is a cost-effective solution that not only looks great, but can also provide the car protection you need. If you intend moving a lot, a portable carport may be the way to go but for longer stays, build a permanent structure for just a little more in cost.

Temporary Carport or Permanent Carport

One perk of having a portable carport is that the structure is very quick and easy to install. Have a look at how easy with this installation video. These are not built with longevity in mind but they can be an excellent temporary solution to your car storage problem. Alternatively, you can spend a little more on a permanent carport which is fully certified. Council approval is necessary for permanent installations but this is easily obtained with a good carport. No matter what you choose, you will know that your vehicle has much more protection than before. It must be noted that a carport that is fixed permanently will almost certainly require council approval. A truly temporary structure does not usually require approval, but you should always check.

A disadvantage of a portable carport is that they are unlikely to add value to your home. It is a semi-permanent structure at best and so will probably not add as much as a garden shed!  A Good quality permanent carport will add more than you spend on installing it to the value of your home. A permanent carport is a worthwhile investment.
