Carports and Garage Sheds Can Protect Your Car or Truck from Harsh Weather

If you are a Perth resident, you have probably seen some garage sheds or carports in your neighbourhood, and wondered why people don’t just park their cars in their garages. Many houses don’t have garages, and many people who do have garages use them as storage sheds, while parking their cars and trucks outside. Also, some families have more vehicles than they can fit in their garage. In addition, a lot of people just don’t like the hassle of parking their car in an enclosed garage.

For some reason, we often think our cars and trucks are indestructible. Consequently, we leave our $30,000 cars or trucks outside, and fill our garages with $500 worth of our “treasures.” Meanwhile, our cars and trucks are exposed every day to the whims of Australian weather. They get rain, wind, heat, sun, and sometimes whatever gets blown on them in a storm. This can cause chipped or faded paint, scratches, dents, and even broken windshields. And we haven’t even mentioned what birds and other animals can do yet.

There is, however, a perfect solution to this. It is inexpensive, and can be used with or without a standard garage. You can get a garage shed or a carport. A carport is the easiest, most flexible, and least expensive of all options. It usually consists of a roof supported by four poles. It keeps many of the elements we mentioned off of your car. They can also come with tarps to attach to them during rain or storms. Carports are great for someone who wants to protect their vehicle, but doesn't want to spend a lot of money.

The next option, which costs a little more, is a garage shed. A garage shed is like a garage, but with the front open. It has three walls and a roof. It offers more protection from the elements, and is a bit sturdier. A garage shed costs more than a carport, but still doesn't cost nearly as much as building a standard garage.

We also carry full garages, with sliding doors or roller doors, or even a garage/workshop combination. They aren’t as expensive as a standard garage, but still offer a lot more protection than a garage shed or a carport. For Perth’s best selection of garage sheds or carports, contact us today.
