Instant Garage Mounting Preparation

Instant garages have been a very popular alternative method for vehicle

, RV, boat, and garden equipment storage. One of the advantages of owning one of these buildings is the ability to relocate the shelter and mount it on any surface. These fabric covered structures can be mounted on concrete asphalt, sand, rocky soil, and gravel.

Mounting an instant garage on concrete or asphalt is relatively easy due to the level or smooth nature of these surfaces. Typically, cement anchors can be used in this application. When using concrete anchors, it is very necessary to consider using mechanisms which are long enough.

If mounting on soil, sand, or dirt, the task can be slightly more difficult. It is extremely important to have a level surface when erecting a portable garage on gravel, sand, or soil. If the ground is not level, the ribs or rafters will be uneven and may not assemble correctly. Uneven rafters can cause the cover to wear and moisture to puddle which reduces covers life.

One of the best methods to mount one of these structures is to use treated lumber to mount the garage on. Most instant garages have plates which fasten to the mounting area. By using treated lumber (such as a 2x6 or 4x6) it will provide for much more level surfaces. Using a piece of treated lumber also prevents the plates from sinking into the soil which also causes uneven rafters. Ribs which are uneven can cause water to form on the cover. Water puddling will reduce the life expectancy of the canvas or tarp material, so it is important to remove any moisture and maintain cover tightness.

All shelters must be anchored to prevent damage due to wind. It is extremely important to consider the mounting surface for anchoring.

Owning a instant garage can be a rewarding and money saving experience, however, proper preparation is needed prior to construction.
