Portable Garage Styles

Metal

• Metal portable garages, often made of steel, are a good choice for buyers who want a long-lasting, sturdy structure. These garages can have A-line or flat roofs and can remain portable or be attached to permanent structures. Steel portable garages are easy to assemble and clean.

Aluminum

• Aluminum portable garages come in similar shapes and sizes as metal garages. According to Canopyandcarports.com, they often are considered better-looking than steel units, but aren't as sturdy as metal and do not resist weather as well.

Wood

• Wooden portable garages may have only overhead protection, like a carport, or they may have walls. They're a good option for buyers who want a structure that blends in with the siding on their home. Wooden structures can be free-standing or be attached to a building. Wood is sturdy and resists the elements relatively well if properly maintained.

Canvas Or Vinyl Overhead Canopy

• Canvas or soft-top portable garages have canvas covers to protect vehicles. Some styles have only an overhead canopy, while others have walls. Canopies offer protection from the sun, rain and other overhead debris, but they aren't as sturdy as other types. They're similar to a tent, using support poles of aluminum or PVC to hold up the top. For vehicles needing only overhead protection, canopies can be an affordable and easily assembled option. If you travel a lot, an overhead canopy can easily be taken with you and put up as needed.

Walled Canvas Or Vinyl

• This style of canvas or vinyl portable garage has an overhead canopy as well as walls to protect the vehicle on one to three sides. The walls can be rolled up or down as needed. They are bulkier than overhead canopy models and may be less suitable for travel.
