Caravan Storage Sheds

Caravan Storage Sheds

It’s true that caravans offer you the freedom to get away from it all, to enjoy the open road and explore the countryside. All that freedom comes at a cost, though, and that cost is the compromise on space. Even the most luxurious and comfortable caravan does not offer the same amount of space for storage, as a house does. This means you are always left with the issue of where you are going to keep all the stuff you need and want on holiday without you, while still being able to navigate safely around your tourer and keep it the comfortable haven you want it to be.

Obviously, one solution would be to reduce the amount of stuff you take with you, but if that’s not an option, you could do what a lot of people do and invest in a caravan storage shed. In the following post we are going to look at several great options. While most of these have not been designed with caravans specifically in mind, they do provide you with covered storage space for those items you don’t really have enough space for in your touring vehicle, such as bikes, BBQs and so much more.

Carports – Review 2023

Carports – Review 2023

Carports – Review 2023

A carport is a great way to protect cars, trucks and motorcycles from weather and sun damage. It’s also a great solution for homes without garages. Use a carport as storage for boats, tractors or trailers too. SHEEDMASTER has models in one-car and two-car sizes.

Metal carports are made from industrial-grade steel frames with galvanized roofs. Choose a peaked, arched or flat roof style. They offer wind and snow load strength and stability for year-round protection. A powder coating — in white, off-white, black or grey — protects the frame against rust and corrosion. If you need extra protection from rain or snow, you may want to add an enclosure kit made with UV-resistant fabric, featuring easy access and heat-sealed seams for water resistance.

You can find other creative uses for a carport canopy around your property. They’re great for protecting an outdoor work space and keeping projects safe from weather damage. You can use one for shade in a backyard to cover patio, deck or garden areas

Palram – Canopia carports are made out of a heavy-duty aluminium frame and incredibly resilient polycarbonate panels. Aluminium carports are the smart choice because they are rust-resistant, maintenance-free, and extremely sturdy with a high strength-to-weight ratio. Polycarbonate is a glass-like, virtually unbreakable polymer, making it the perfect material for outdoor structures. The lightweight carport roof panels provide the light transmission benefits of glass in a much safer manner because they are high-impact, harsh weather, and UV-resistant.

Things To Consider When Buying A Carport

When you take the decision to purchase a carport, there are a few things that you will need to keep in mind. It can be tempting to try to find a bargain but spending a little extra on your carport will be a wise investment. Doing this will ensure that you have a structure that will stand the test of time and provide the protection your car needs. But this is not the only thing you will need to think about.

Size

One of the most obvious things to think about before making a decision is the size of the carport in relation to your vehicle. For smaller cars, you may be able to get away with something a little more compact. However, it is essential to take measurements to ensure your car will get full coverage.

Moreover, it is essential to think about the area that the carport will be placed and that any overhanging parts of the roof will not interfere with other nearby structures.

Durability

The materials from which the carport is made will tell you a lot about how robust the structure is. For example, materials like aluminium and steel offer incredible durability and are very resistant to the elements.

These materials are typically treated so that they won’t rust and usually last a very long time. This makes them perfect for long term use. On the other hand, if you only need a temporary solution, perhaps while your garage is being constructed, a cloth canopy may be suitable. When choosing this option, it is crucial that you go for a material that is waterproof and offers UV protection.

Ease Of Use

The last thing that anyone wants when erecting a carport is a structure that is nigh on impossible to assemble. For this reason, you should look for carports that are easy and quick to put together. Being larger structures, it is likely that you will need two people for the job. You should also make sure that the carport comes with all the correct fittings to secure it. What’s more, it is important to look at how easy it will be to drive your car into the carport. A good structure will have a wide opening with plenty of room to easily manoeuvre your vehicle.

How much does a carport cost?

How much does a carport cost UK? The cost of your carport will vary depending on the materials it is made from and the size. It is perfectly acceptable to think that you will be able to pick up a carport for less than £1000. However, there are more expensive options going towards £3000 and budget options for a few hundred.

Are carports worth it? If you want to protect your car from the elements then a carport is absolutely worth it. Having somewhere safe to store your car will prolong its life and reduce the amount of maintenance you need to perform on it.

Do carports add value to a home UK? The carport itself may not add value to your home, especially if it is a temporary structure. However, the appeal of the carport and its pleasing design will make your home more appealing to potential buyers.
