Portable shelters are all the rage and a preferred option to permanent structures. There various benefits are making them increasingly popular in both the suburbs and countryside. Portable garages have not been left out of this equation and are very popular with modern homeowners as they provide a safe way of storing valuable items that would otherwise not fit in the house. They are a nice way to keep your car safe especially if it is not going to be in use for some time.
A portable garage works just like the conventional garage and is well used to protect your car from theft, vandalism and harsh weather conditions. The beauty of a portable garage is you can move around with it in your car especially if you love travelling.
Portable garages are easy to get. You can build one yourself or have the company install it for you. It is easy to build one and most of them come with an installation manual. If you have company and are fast enough it can take you a mere four hours to have it up and ready to use.
The ‘do it yourself’ process starts right when you go portable garage shopping. Begin by determining the purpose you intend for it. Ensure that you opt for a good size that will not only fit what you want to keep in it but will have space for you to navigate. Keep in mind the features that you want. Some companies have extra features on their items such as UV protection, extra zippers, anchoring and additional paneling. Choose one that has the necessary features that increase the convenience of your garage.
Once you have picked a garage kit, go through it to make sure that all items are in place. You can do so by confirming the items in your kit to those described in the manual. Ensure you also have all additional tools not in the kit such a ladder, a level, a rubber mallet and so on. The tools you will need to assemble depend on the kit you choose.
Once you have all tools ready, you just need to follow the instructions. Preferably, choose a kit that allows you to assemble in a bolt and screw style. This means that you will not have much work to do apart from threading the bolts through the proper screws. The first thing to put up will be the frame of the garage. Once you have it firmly in place, carefully pull the covers over the frame.
Some kits come with anchors to ensure that the garage does not collapse or is blown over. If your kit has anchors, they will be the last thing to put after you have finished building. However, if your kit does not have anchors you can buy weight anchors and place them securely on the corners of the garage. A well set up garage can be used for several years without the need for extra modification of adjustments.
